Cihuatan Reserva Especial 8-Year

Smell very neutral, the taste is a direct vanilla but not over sweetened. It bites the nose and the throat. It’s. Simple rum - likable but not something that my tongue will remember for long after. From 24 rums selection with S.

lukter mye vanilje og litt sjokolade. God ettersmak med mye vaniljesmak og veldig søt. Mild ettersmak.

Première gorgée vanillée suivie par le caramel, café, une légère touche de cuir. Tanins fumés dûs au baril de chêne intrigue la langue créant une finition agréable.

Vanilj och honung i både doft och smak. Väldigt mild och lättdrucken. Lite romerska bågar.

Enjoyed a bottle of Cihuatan 8y with my buddies while in Germany. Plain standard bottle wrapped in a flimsy cardboard box. Golden color. Since its all sugarcane method plus added vanilla flavors, its really not my cup of tea. Quite a strong burn at the end with the added vanilla is an interesting mixture.

First burn is a bit too strong and covers what comes after. Excellent balance with tones of dark chocolate.

Arome de ciocolată, dulceag cu aftertaste suficient pentru un rom "tânăr"

It is a very easy to drink rum, pure, without ice or soda. Lots of vanilla, caramel, little traces of orange peel.
I think it's a great solera rum for a good price.

While not quite in the flavor-bomb category of the nearly liqueur-like Bumbu (banana) or Don Papa (bubble gum), there is a clear vanilla extract influence here. It's nicer than those others, but it's still slightly artificial. This one seems to have been replaced recently by the "indigo" 8.

m'attendait à mieux pour un 8 ans d'âge, un peu déçu.
