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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 16,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
