In der Nase Orange, Pflaume, mild. Orange im Mund und im Abgang, fruchtige Noten nach der Orange. Mild und leicht Ölig. Mittlerer, milder Abgang.
Review by Martin Ekrt
I admit I don't smell much besides citrus. The taste is quite original and fresh mix of orange and tangerine. The sweetness is acceptable. Such an unpretentious drink as an aperitif after lunch or for a visitor. In the end, quite a pleasant surprise. Edit: I'm finishing the sample and I don't need to change anything either
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Not just an older Cihuatan Indigo, but with its own character. Here come orange, dark wood notes and heavy sweetness. The orange becomes very oily and chewy on the palate while a certain spice is added that harmonizes and binds fantastically with the alcohol. The finish is dark wood and chocolate, good and subtle sweetness throughout. Really good! Addendum: Especially the fruit notes like super ripe mango & pineapple need some time to develop. When they get the orange becomes much fresher and more intense and loses the bitterness.

Good rum, it’s better than the 8 year version, and it has a really good branding

Spicy, sweet, cinnamon
Review by Tomáš Jankovský
Spíše plochy v chuti i vuni. Chybí harmoničnost. Jemný. Ale pořad dost pitelny. Ale asi bych ho nekoupil. I individuální mi prijde chuťové bohatší.
Review by Gregor
Schöne natürliche Orangennoten. Vanille und toffee sind auch mit dabei. Ich finde ihn gut und komplex leider ein wenig kurzatmig. Und ich muss sagen das die Destille schon wesentlich besseres gemacht hat. Sollte man aber trotzdem mal probiert haben.
Review by Peter Sjoroos
Not a very good rum. Kinda flat and harsh (even at low ABV of 40%). Unnatural sweetness and poorly balanced. Some artificial orange i think, and maybe a bit sweet candy (toffee?). This was the Cihuatan i liked least on the tasting.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
very nice play of orange peel, tangerine & toffee, clearly better than the old 12 cihuatan. apparently not only the design but also the recipe has been improved again here.👌🏽 overall, however, it is a bit woody and one-dimensional but nicely orangey. I find the indigo better in terms of plv.

Pfff, je sais pas quoi dire. C'est plat en bouche et au nez c'est trop bizarre
Review by TheJackDrop
A wonderful discovery, with a surprising hint of grenadine. Regouté avec le rhum club lille ce soir, c'est très/trop léger vanille et avec une finale courte mais les fruits sont sympa. An ultra beginner's rum.

ve vůni skoro nic , možná jemnounce citrusy chuť nasladla, až moc umela
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
I can imagine him well to drizzle on pastries or desserts.
