Ron Cihuatan Indigo 8 Year Old Rum (75cl, 40%)

Ron Cihuatan Indigo 8 Year Old Rum is an aged rum from Licorera Cihuatan in El Salvador's Cihuatan Valley. It is made from Salvadoran sugarcane molasses, column distilled, and aged eight years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels. The distillery was founded in 2004 alongside the Ingenio La Cabana sugar mill. Indigo is named for the indigo flower and honours Tlaloc, the Mayan god of rain. The nose shows vanilla and cappuccino. The palate brings dark chocolate, lemongrass and hazelnut over artisanal dulce de leche. The finish is smooth and sweetly spiced. Serve neat or with one large cube, or in a rum Old Fashioned.
