A 16-year-old aged rum from El Salvador, bottled at 40% ABV in a 700ml format.
Freshly harvested local sugarcane is milled, converted into molasses, fermented and distilled in column stills. The spirit spends 15 years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels before a final year in barrels made from Ceiba wood, a finishing step unique to Cihuatán.
The aroma opens with grilled pineapple and ripe banana, then vanilla, raisins, cocoa, clove, nutmeg, leather and a subtle balsamic quality. The palate brings baked apples and pears, panela-like brown sugar, molasses, dark chocolate, tobacco, cinnamon and fresh grass, with a woody, resinous Ceiba undertone. The finish is medium-long with wood smoke, old oak tannins and dried plum.
