Schönes helles Goldgelb im Glas:
In der Nase Düfte von süssen reifen tropischen Früchten, überreifen Mangos, Bananen, Karamell und viel, viel, viel Vanille. Auch eine herbe grasig grüne Seite ist auszumachen, Holz, Gras, Moos und Rinde bilden einen schönen Kontrast.
Im Gaumen angenehm mundfüllend und warm. Gebrannte Mandeln und andere Nüsse eröffnen die Parade der Aromen gefolgt von Vanille und Karamell und etwas gesalzene tropische Früchte.
Im Abgang schön lang, die Vanille bleibt noch viel länger.
Ein schon fast "kitschiger" Rum der Vanille-Süss-Rum Liebhaber verzückt. Jetzt habe ich Lust auf Kaffee und Kuchen. 7+

Beautiful bright golden yellow in the glass:
In the nose fragrances of sweet ripe tropical fruits, overripe mangos, bananas, caramel and much, much, much vanilla. Also a harsh grassy green side can be seen, wood, grass, moss and bark form a nice contrast.
In the palate pleasantly mouth filling and warm. Baked almonds and other nuts open the parade of aromas followed by vanilla and caramel and some salted tropical fruits.
In the finish nicely long, the vanilla remains much longer.
An almost "kitschy" rum of the vanilla-sweet-rum lovers enraptures. Now I feel like coffee and cake. 7+

A nice and sweet rum that ultimately doesn’t do a hole lot.

Fantastisk karamel duft i flasken, som ændrer karakter i glasset. Smagen er også sød og blød, omend med en lidt skarp eftersmag hvis ikke den får lov at stå.

Discovered this one by chance. Nice surprise though this rum from El Salvador (the only producer of rum in El Salvador?). Vanille, caramel, coffee in the mouth, great value for it's price.

From sourcing to distilling to maturing to bottling. Its the only rum that can really claim its 100% Salvadoreno.

I prefer the 8 over 12, the sweetness is the difference and what i enjoy about latin rums. Excellent for an old fashioned or just mon-fri sipping.

I discovered Cihuatán 8 last year while traveling through El Salvador. This is a truly dynamic rum for the price ($18USD in the airport).

Aroma: Sugar in the raw, vanilla, toasted marshmallow, slight oak/spice

Body: Medium / light. Somewhere between a cask strength and typical bourbon.

Flavor: Starts with sugar and vanilla and cuts back quickly with spice, heat, and woody. Slight resemblance of malted barley on middle of palate. Finishes with a long cinnamon spice and tannin on the palate. Some dried / candied fruits linger throughout as well.

Overall, this has been my favorite rum find of the last two years. (I just had my fill of Flor de Caña. I'd actually prefer drinking this to 7, 12, and 18.)

Excellent sipping rum for the price. Easy drinking with a sweet nutty finish. Bought mine in the San Salvador airport. Great last minute purchase!

Subtle notes of wood, a hint of vanilla and cacao, soft undertones of coffee and a dash of brilliance that resembles the sweetness of fresh sugarcane juice.
