Description

Cihuatán Indigo is an 8-year-old rum, produced in El Salvador by the Licorera Cihuatán distillery, with an ABV of 40%. It is on this ancestral legend that the history of Cihuatán rums begins, true ambassadors of El Salvador who reveal all its richness and know-how.

The name "Indigo" was inspired by the color blue, which was crafted by the ancient Maya using the Indigo flower (anil).Sustained bright yellow gold color, small frank nose with a little white chocolate, cocoa, smoky wood tip, good balance on a fairly full-bodied rum, sweetness but lack of consistency, frank character but little marked, frank product, straight but without much peculiarity or character. This rum is aged according to the Solera method, in American oak barrels that have contained bourbon The youngest eaux-de-vie are at least 8 years old.

Rum enthusiasts describe it as an easy-sipping, well-rounded, and surprisingly smooth rum that caters to a diverse range of tastes. Indigo has been matured for 8 years in former bourbon barrels and delivers hints of Vanilla, Cappuccino, Dark Chocolate, Lemon grass and Hazelnut. Local legend suggests that many centuries ago, a Mayan goddess came to the valley and endowed it with fertile soils and riches.Inspired by the colour ‘Indigo’, crafted by the ancient Maya using the Indigo Flower (anil) and the colour of Tlaloc the Mayan God of rain. In the heart of every bottle of Cihuatán Indigo lies the Sleeping Woman, Mayan goddess and guardian of the Cihuatán valley. The identification of similar rums is based on the community's tasting notes and the key data of the rum. This is a very classy 8 Year Old column distilled rum from a relatively new player in the rum game, Ron Cihuatan.

Distilled from molasses using a column still, it has a pleasant aroma of biscuits, hazelnuts, sweetness, and vanilla.Cihuatán Indigo from El Salvador boasts a blend of chocolate, vanilla, and toffee with nutty undertones but falls short in complexity and finish. This approach has allowed them to create one-of-a-kind rums, such as Cihuatán Xaman XO, uniquely finished in Mayan Ceiba casks. Legend has it that the sleeping woman, the guardian goddess of the Cihuatán Valley, would negotiate on behalf of the Cihuatán people so that Tlaloc the Mayan God of Rain would make the valley ‘bloom’. The palate is smooth, with notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, hazelnut coming through with hints of Cappuccino and Lemongrass and a smooth finish.
