Cihuatan Jade Rum (75cl, 40%)

Cihuatan Jade Rum is a charcoal-filtered aged white rum from El Salvador, distilled by Licorera Cihuatán from molasses and matured for four years in ex-bourbon American oak barrels before charcoal filtration. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The nose opens with canned pineapple and guava, followed by soft baking spices and vanilla, with a faint marshmallow sweetness beneath. The palate leads with sweet coconut and vanilla, broadening into milk chocolate, custard cream and banana, then turns toward bone-dry minerality with white and black pepper spice. The finish is medium in length, with lemon zest, white chocolate, a cooling hint of mint and lingering white pepper dryness.
