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
- Keep in mind: Contains added sugar

How does Cihuatán Sahumerio Aged Rum 2006 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
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
For a change, something at drinking strength😉. El Salvador is not really one of my favorites, yet it makes a pretty good impression. The nose is gentle, with sweet caramel and vanilla aromas and orange, plus a winter spice mix (fitting for the season)😉 and a pinch of chocolate/chili. All this continues on the palate, the chili heat is really interesting as it runs down the throat. For me though, it's all too sweet. In the Spanish style but an interesting representative that surely has its fans.
Review by Jens Mulzer
Here we have quite a sweet fellow in the glass again. The nose has light aromas of nougat, nuts, and banana. Taste of chocolate, hazelnuts, honey, and some woody aromas. Plus slightly fruity notes like orange and banana. The finish is short.
Review by Johannes
Exciting! Orange, Christmas spices, peach, vanilla.
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
My RumRatings review from 5 years ago: The rum is very fruity on the nose with lots of orange, vanilla, and sweetness. On the palate, the rum is surprisingly flat and mainly defined by sweetness. Vanilla, toffee, and some spice. All rather bodiless. Due to the sugar, the rum is mild and easy to drink. The finish is slightly woody. This rum was a disappointment as it hardly delivers any flavor. For that, it is definitely too expensive. If you want to try a Cihuatan, please try the Nikté instead. This one was also helped along, but at least it tastes like something.
Review by Wagnerlicious
A very spicy, rusty rum. Notes of dark chocolate, nuts and roasted coffee/mokka. A half-cooled baked chocolate brownie describes it best for me.
Review by Nando70
My first rum from El Salvador... On the nose you find the typical markers of South American rums... Sweetness, caramel all in lightness... An entry on the palate all in softness and a hint of herbs quickly replaced by a nice spicy, peppery note... A woody, honeyed finish that makes you salivate... A touch of astringency. A medium to long finish. A rum for those who like sweetness and sugary notes...
Review by MJ72
Very pleasant nose, fruity with plum, round and fruity on the palate, pleasant sweetness with medium-long finish. Top edition
Review by R Wehner
Nose little, rum plain, bit alc; tongue sweeter spicy rum, too sharp, too little, too expensive for that...
Review by Peter
Sweet. A little chocolate, light smokiness, a bit of honey. It was very easy to drink.
Review by Adrien B
Oulala. Very surprising attack and bam, it falls dry.
Review by Peter Sjoroos
It's ok, but a little bit "thin" and to short. Also add little alcoholic ending.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Seems a bit like a spiced rum in flavor profile for me (I think due to the link with orange). The "cough syrup effect" that reminds me of The Demon's Share is present, but clearly much better balanced.
Review by Ondrej Czinege
Vůně po ovoci, příjemná chut
Review by StormAK
Откровенно ожидал от него большего напора. Все довольно сдержанно и в аромате и во вкусе. Набор свежих и сухофруктов, чуть перечности и приличная доза бочки. Все в очень хорошем балансе и заслуживает вашего внимания. Но конечно если вы купили его с хорошей скидкой, как и я. По белому ценнику это оверпрайс.
Review by Miňo
Pre mňa celkom fajn rum,záver by som čakal dlhší. V sladkosti ma však niečo málo vyrušovalo.
Review by WillNett
The basic flavor is good but unfortunately disappears very quickly. Quite alcoholic.
Review by Michael Janek
vůně příjemně mírně nasladla, vanilka? chuť jemná, po delším držení mirnounce simra parádní chut

Sweet and soft, an alternative to Diplomatico.

Trevlig värmande och inte för söt med apelsinskal torkad frukt karamel vanilj

Príjemná jemná chuť. Dá sa piť celý večer.
Review by Vít Jurka
Good on the tongue
Review by MoMcGurk
I am having a difficult time placing the flavors. Oak and honey come to mind, but there is more. Straight is a little better than mixed, and I picked up very little burn.
