Full product description

Cihuatán Alux is a limited-edition rum from Licorera Cihuatán in El Salvador, named after the Alux, the guardian spirits of Mayan legend. Distilled in 2007 on a column still and aged for 15 years, it was finished in former oloroso sherry and cognac casks and released as just 12,589 bottles at 43.2% ABV.

Master Blender Gabriela Ayala set out to capture the flavours of a Mayan offering feast, with corn and chocolate at its heart. Caramel, chocolate, roasted nuts and cocoa on the nose lead to cinnamon, chocolate and roasted maize on the palate, with buttery and sherried notes, before a long, silky finish of honey, toffee and tropical fruit. A rum for slow sipping.
