Cihuatán Sahumerio Aged Rum 2006
What catches people off guard is the chili heat — a real pepper burn that runs down the throat, sitting alongside dark chocolate, cinnamon, orange peel and roasted almonds. It's spicy and creamy at 45.2%, but the sweetness is heavy enough that a few tasters mistook it for a spiced rum. Loud, individual, and clearly sweetened.
The community says- Chili-chocolate spice
- Roasted almond notes
- But: Contains added sugar

How does Cihuatán Sahumerio Aged Rum 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 100 community reviews.
Spicy, sweet chocolate-chili sipper Divisive. Fans love the wild chili-chocolate-cinnamon character; others find it too sweet, soapy or thin, missing "genuine rum aromas." The added sugar and spiced-rum feel split the room.

Completely wild on the nose. Spicy, but not alcoholic, but towards chili. The typical Cihuatan chocolate notes are also there, mixed with cinnamon. Insane amount going on here and enormously independent character. Sweet in the mouth, then spicy to hot. Cinnamon/chili/chocolate also there again. Creamy honey sweetness, almonds, slightly smoky but always with fire. You have to stand on it, but if you do it is really good.

Another one from the Rum&Co Sample Set. At first I had to check the data, is that a spiced Rum? The vanilla note as well as the orange and some cinnamon, combined with a notable sweetness are indicators, but I am not convinced they are additives. However despite being sharp, warm and creamy, I am not impressed as I am missing some of the genuine Rum aromas. The finish reminds me of a dessert drink. I can see this being appealing to many people, but after some Hampden DOK, good Demarara and delicate Barbados this type of Rum will not exite me.

Note: Employment at Perola GmbH (spirits industry), partial professional involvement in evaluated bottlings. All reviews are my personal, unpaid opinion. A very fiery, spicy, sweet, exciting, complex rum and a worthy successor to the previous limited editions from Cihuatan! The finish is really fiery and unusual... Unusual but delicious! Still not my favorite...

Review by Felix Reiber
Very interesting bottling from Cihuatan. Compared to the Cinabrio, it is much spicier and has almost smoky notes, which stand out alongside orange peel, dark caramel and roasted almonds. The ingenious 45.2 % brings a great spiciness, but is occasionally slightly tangy on the tongue. There is a noticeable after-sweetness, but this does not really detract from the aroma. Quite a small price for this variety of flavors.
Review by Wernie
Zur Abwechslung gibts zwischendurch mal was in Trinkstärke😉.El Salvador zählt jetzt nicht so zu meinen Favoriten, dennoch macht er eine recht gute Vorstellung. Die Nase ist sanft, mit süßen Karamell und Vanillearomen und Orange, dazu eine winterliche Würzmischung ( passend zur Jahreszeit)😉 und eine Prise Schoko/Chili. All das setzt mich im Mund fort, die Chilischärfe ist echt interessant wie sie so im Hals hinab läuft. Für mich aber zu Süß das Ganze. Im spanischen Stile aber ein interessanter Vertreter der bestimmt seine Freunde hat.
Review by Johannes
Spannend! Orange, weihnachtliche Gewürze, Pfirsich, Vanille.
Review by Christoph
Toasted almonds, some chocolate, cinnamon, lots of spicy notes and virtually no fruit. Some fruit appears only on the finish which reminds me somewhat of sweet wine.
Review by Oliver
Unfortunately, I don't like the taste at all. Soapy and artificial.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Meine RumRatings Review von vor 5 Jahren: Der Rum ist in der Nase sehr fruchtig mit viel Orange, und Vanille und Süße. Am Gaumen ist der Rum überraschend flach und wird vor allem durch die Süße bestimmt. Vanille, Toffee und etwas würze. Alles eher körperlos. Durch den Zucker ist der Rum mild und einfach zu trinken. Der Abgang ist leicht holzig. Dieser Rum war eine Enttäuschung, da der Rum geschmacklich kaum etwas liefert. Dafür ist er eindeutig zu teuer. Wer einen Cihuatan probieren möchte sollte dann doch bitte eher den Nikté probieren. Hier wurde auch nach geholfen, dafür schmeckt er auch nach etwas
Review by Wagnerlicious
Ein sehr würzig, rostiger Rum. Noten dunkler Schokolade, Nüssen und geröstetem Kaffee/Mokka. Ein halbabgekühlter gebackener Schokobrownie beschreibt es für mich am besten.
Review by Nando70
Mon premier rhum du Salvador... Au nez on retrouve les marqueurs typiques des rhums de l'Amérique du Sud... Douceur, caramel tout en légèreté... Une entrée en bouche tout en douceur et une pointe d'herbes très vite remplacée par un épicé, poivré de bon aloi... Une fin de bouche boisée, miéleuse qui vous fait saliver... Une pointe d'astringence. Une fin de bouche moyenne à longue. Un rhum pour ceux qui aiment la douceur et le sucré...
Review by MJ72
Sehr angenehme Nase, fruchtig nach Pflaume, am Gaumen rund und fruchtig, angenehme Süße mit mittellangem Abgang. Top Edition
Review by R Wehner
Nase wenig, rum eben, bissel alc; Zunge süßer würziger Rum, zu scharf, zu wenig, zu teuer dafür...

Oulala. Attaque très étonnante et zou ça tombe aussi sec.
Review by Peter Sjoroos
It's ok, but a little bit "thin" and to short. Also add little alcoholic ending.

Vůně po ovoci, příjemná chut
Review by Tom Buteneers
Lijkt wat op een spiced rum qua smaakprofiel voor mij (denk door de link met sinaasappel). Het “hoestsiroop-effect” dat me doet denken aan The Demon’s Share is aanwezig, maar duidelijk veel beter gebalanceerd.
