Cihuatan - Indigo - 8 years - 40%
Cihuatan is a prestigious artisanal rum brand originating from El Salvador, a gem of Central America. Founded in 2004 by a collective of passionate and visionary Salvadoran entrepreneurs, this brand embodies the authenticity and excellence of exceptional rum. The name Cihuatan has its roots in the ancient history of an emblematic Mayan city located in western El Salvador, a true religious and cultural center for the Mayan civilization, symbolizing a rich ancestral heritage. Cihuatan rums are carefully crafted from pure molasses and crystal-clear spring water sourced from the preserved Chalatenango region. Each distillation is carried out in traditional copper stills, ensuring superior quality, then patiently aged in American oak barrels that previously held Bourbon, enhancing the aromas and complexity of the final product. Committed to sustainability, the brand actively supports sustainable development initiatives aimed at preserving the unique natural environment and improving the well-being of the local community, making Cihuatan an ethical and tasteful benchmark for premium rum.
The name "Indigo" is deeply inspired by the indigo blue color, which was obtained by the ancient Mayans through the precious Indigo flower (añil). This shade represents a strong symbol of El Salvador and embodies the sacred color of Tlaloc, the Mayan god of rain, evoking spirituality and connection to nature. This exceptional rum has been carefully aged for 8 years in American oak barrels that previously held Bourbon, thus developing a unique, subtle, and balanced aromatic richness, perfect for connoisseurs seeking an authentic sensory experience.
