Cihuatán Single Barrel N°16 Waxak 15 Year Old (70cl)

Waxak is a 15-year-old single barrel rum from Cihuatán, the Salvadoran distillery that grows its own sugar cane and controls production from plant to bottle. It is a limited edition of just 228 bottles, bottled at full cask strength. The rum is aged using the solera system in ex-bourbon American oak barrels, which the distillery says balance delicate wood notes with the sweetness of the spirit. The name comes from the pre-Columbian site of Cihuatán, and part of the proceeds from the rum supports its restoration. On the palate it shows peaches and cream, roasted coffee beans and cinnamon.
