Just try it
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very nice complex rum, the tropical Mayan Ceiba wood brings in incredibly nice umami notes of grilled bacon, flambéed pineapple and spices. really very successful and elegant. Could just do with a little more power.

"Sympa, un bois particulier. très belle carafe, un poil cher quand meme. En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Ananas En bouche : Vanillé, Fruits tropicaux La finale plutot orientee vers : Caramel"
Review by Megusta_el_Ron
Tolles Geschmacksprofil. Pflaume im Speckmantel als Trinkerlebnis. Eine Bereicherung für jede Sammlung.
Review by Ginger & Fred
Ich persönlich finde den Alux deutlich besser. Dennoch wie alle cihuatan mega zugänglich und total lecker. Ich finde er verhält sich "ruhig" im Mund, wenn man das sagen kann. Lecker und angenehm!
Review by Christoph
Throughout, one thinks too much of sugar here, which makes everything flat.
Review by Cédric Meyers
très fruité que ce soit en bouche ou au nez.
Review by Oliver
Deutlich angenehmer als der Sahumerio. Aber leider gar nicht mein Geschmack.
Review by Necron
Honestly surprising. At first the smell tricks you into thinking it is a very strong alocoholic rum - it overwhelms your senses to the point it may make you sneeze! Then comes the taste. Absolutely smooth with a sliver of spiciness on the tongue. As far as rums go, this is a good one and is well appreciated neat on rocks. Does not hit my top list as due to the variety of tastes I could barely identify the flavours. Still it is a rum to appreciate if you meet it. Would not recommend it to new rum drinkers.
Review by heckto🥃
Ein milder Mittelamerikaner. Früchte, Karamell, Ananas, Leder und ein bisschen Pflaume. Absolut solide mit einer guten Komplexität und einer Rauchnote im Abgang. Dem hohen Preis wird er allerdings nicht ganz gerecht.

Brussels Rhum Festival 15/03/2025 Still a way too sweet rum but the Ceiba barrel gives some interesting flavours, great potential there.
Review by rum_sk
Spicy in the 👃 and not very impressive. Taste however is much better, sweet, vanilla, nougat, caramel and nuts. The only problem I have with this one is the price. In my opinion it is too high for what it offers at 40% abv which is a reason of short finish.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Am overall well rounded rum with an oily palate. The curtains in the glass are really nice and stay long. Fruity and sweet with caramel and chocolate as well as lightly roasted wood notes.
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall a smooth and pleasant Latino rum. It’s a 16yo rum containing rums aged for 15 years in American oak ex-Bourbon casks, and finished for one year in Mayan Ceiba casks. It’s fruity and smoky with aroma and flavor of vanilla and pistachio.
