Cihuatán Nikté Limited Edition
Marzipan is the surprise here — almond and chocolate-dipped marzipan run right through this El Salvador 15-year, backed by toffee, honey, milk chocolate and a roasted coffee edge. Most tasters find it soft and elegant for 47.5%, dessert-like and a little floral. It's clearly sweetened, though, and a few felt the flavor thins out fast and leans one-note.
The community says- Marzipan and chocolate

How does Cihuatán Nikté Limited Edition taste?
Aggregated from 107 community reviews.
Soft, sweet marzipan-and-chocolate dessert sipper Widely liked as the most distinctive Cihuatan — rich marzipan, chocolate and coffee, mild and elegant. The catches: it's noticeably sweet and some found it fades quickly and lacks depth.

More unusual than the others from cihuatan. Dark chocolate, sour cherry, lychee, mocha, coffee and roasted almonds. Definitely one of the best & most unusual rums from Cihuatan. Very tasty and elegant and an incredibly beautiful bottle.

Delicious specimen, with lots of caramel/honey and an ingenious roasted note of coffee and chocolate. Once you've identified the marzipan note, it runs right through! Also fruity in many ways (lychee/mango?), subtly sweet and very round. Goes down like oil 😋 For even more points, this rum would need more complexity, although I have to say that there are still some components that I can't quite put my finger on. You have to give this rum a few minutes to breathe. Compared to other Cihuatans, it stands out somewhat.
Review by Peter Sjoroos
This was more pleasant than i expected! Not too sweet, and with a nice, round scent of almond, honey, fruitcake, marzipan and some dark chocolate. On the palate i found lots of warm, round sweetness of vanilla and chocolate, finished with some red pepper and espresso coffee.
Review by Filip Šikula
On the nose there is very intense marzipan, chocolate and almonds. The taste is clearly dominated by marzipan, caramel and chocolate. Short finish. It's very sweet, at the same time quite spicy. It's better from a Cihuatan production.
Review by Felix Reiber
Der Rum kommt mit einer sehr angenehmen und komplexen Nase daher. Neben viel Mandel, Toffee und buttrigen Tönen ist auch eine interessante blumige Note zu vernehmen. Im Mund entsteht eine schöne Süße, welche an Honig erinnert. Die blumigen Töne wie auch die Mandelnoten passen perfekt dazu. Die recht würzigen 47,5 % sorgen für Wärme und betonen das elegante Eichenaroma. Helles Karamell ist im Hintergrund und ergänzt die Komplexität der vielen Eindrücke. Der nicht allzu lange Abgang ist ebenso vielschichtig und klingt mit wieder blumigen und marzipanähnlichen Tönen aus. Ein leckerer und einzigartiger Rum aus El Salvador. Auffällig sind außerdem die meiner Ansicht nach unglaublich schöne Flasche und Umverpackung. Spitzenklasse.

Milchschokolade, etwas Orange, Kaffee. Nicht schlecht!

Review by Michal Jurka
My favourite sweet and low abv rum and favourite from Cihuatan production (I am not fond of their production beside this). I always keep around a bottle or two and use it a as dessert. Rich in marzipan throughout, sweet caramel, chocolate and vanilla notes, touch of fruits and flowers.
Review by Wagnerlicious
Sehr würziger Rum. In der Nase im ersten Moment tolle fruchtige Note, Orange, etwas Schokolade. Am Gaumen deutlich vollmundiger zu Beginn süßlich, Vanillig, dann Wandel in rostige Kaffee-Karamell Aromen. Sehr elegant und deutlich besser, als seine jüngeren Vertreter.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Tastes like dangling in chocolate liquer...I dont believe the taste came from distillation - the taste disappear pretty fast. Alcohol taste remains longer
Review by Dirk Runge
mir schmeckt er.....mit schwarzer brause schon fast zu süß
Review by derschwarm63@gmail.com
Für die 47,5% recht mild. Sehr eigener Stil. Was Besonderes! Kaum mit anderen Rums vergleichbar.
Review by MJ72
Sehr blumig in der Nase nach Rosen, am Gaumen Marzipannoten mit öligem Mundgefühl. Angenehmer Abgang, insgesamt mild
Review by Jindrich Strobl
Nice, strong and a bit spicy with dark chocolate background.

Kaum anhaltender Geschmack. Eindimensional, aber nicht so rund wie der aus dem gleichen Hause stammende Indigo. Holzig und ledrig.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →All sadly overridden by that bitter saccharin note. My experience with this particular rum is sadly very similar to my previous Cihuatan review. It's just incredibly average and unspectacular. Even within this particular lighter style of rum I don't think it stands out in anyway. Unremarkable.
