Candied orange, macadamia and a nutty, spiced warmth run through this El Salvador rum, with vanilla and dark chocolate showing up alongside a lingering sugary sweetness. Several tasters find it rounder and woodier than Cihuatán's Indigo, with more roasted, spicy character. A few call it too sweetened for their taste, but most land on a pleasant, easy pour that leans dessert-ish.

Note: Employment at Perola GmbH (spirits industry), partial professional involvement with evaluated bottlings. All reviews are my personal, unpaid opinion. Tasty, nutty, spicy rum. Not too sweet. Absolutely fine! But I find the Nahual or Indigo much better in terms of value for money!

Woodier and somewhat fruitier on the nose than the Indigo. The chocolate aromas are roastier and darker. Vanilla, citrus, lots of barrel. The interplay of milk chocolate and fruit on the palate. Nuttier and spicier than the Indigo, not as ripe as the Cinabrio. Quaffable, but not as round as the rest of the range.

A surprise in a glass. On a fun evening. Red fruits, especially cherry and menthol on the nose and palate. Intermittent coffee notes, which then merge back into the fruity cherry. Greetings to the children of the 90s - my association: the red throat dragons (still without sugar coating). ;)

A bit odd, hard to place. Smells fruitier than it tastes but has an interesting profile. The finish mainly leaves a sugary sweetness. Drinks smoothly.
