Cihuatán Indigo Rum 40% (1x70cl)

Product Information

In this interview, Gabriela Ayala, Master Blender at Cihuatán Rum, talks about the products and the Mayan gods. She also reveals the importance of rum in El Salvador. Cihuatán Rum is described as “The Rum of the Mayan Gods”. The word “Cihuatán” means “next to the woman”. Legend has it that many centuries ago a Mayan goddess came to the Cihuatán Valley and has watched over the inhabitants ever since. This “sleeping woman” can be seen – today in the form of a mountain – on the brand’s logo. Between the mountains in the Cihuatán Valley lies the distillery, which, by the way, is the only one in all of El Salvador. This is a special feature, but also a commitment – to the highest quality and best taste. Thanks to the sales cooperation with Perola, Germany is now also getting a taste of Cihuatán Ron de El Salvador. The distillery is located in the Cihuatán valley, El Salvador. “Cihuatán” is a nahuat word which means “next to the woman”. Local legend suggests that many centuries ago, a Mayan goddess came to the valley and endowed it with fertile soils and riches. The goddess would intercede on behalf of the people of Cihuatán to grant them favours. Ein simpler Rum der als / oder zum Dessert und Kaffee ganz ok ist. Für Einsteiger und Süssrumliebhaber.

In the nose rich and powerful. A barrel full of caramel cream candy with candied fruit and vanilla on top. Crafted as a homage to Kinich Ahau, Mayan God of the sun, whose sacred colour is red. The Mayan people used the mineral Cinabrio to make red dye. To round out our portfolio, we also craft limited edition rums. So far, we’ve released three of these: Cihuatán Nahual, Cihuatán Nikté and Cihuatán Sahumerio. I love limited editions because these allow me to draw from my dearest personal memories and blend them together with our Mayan heritage to create rums with unique flavor profiles that tell a story and delight collectors around the world. Cihuatán Nahual is sold out as is Cihuatán Nikté, so if you can get your hands on a bottle of Sahumerio, be sure to treasure it in your rum collection! Established in 2004, Licorera Cihuatán is the first and only Rum distillery in El Salvador. As a division of sugar mill Ingenio La Cabaña, which has over 100 years experience in the mastering of sugarcane, Cihuatán Rum’s master distiller and blender Gabriela Ayla is able to oversee the entire production process, from sugarcane seed selection to bottling.Am Gaumen weich und süss.

Gabriela Ayala: One of the biggest advantages we have as a company is the fact that we control every single step of the production process: from the sugarcane seed to the bottle. This not only allows us to guarantee the top quality of our rums, but also allows us to invoke our curiosity to create unique flavor profiles and innovate in our production techniques. I am excited about the future to see what new creations will come! Cihuatán Rum is produced from sugarcane grown exclusively in El Salvador. Gabriela Ayala: We are proud to be our country’s only rum producer. As mentioned above, this wouldn’t have been possible without the vision and entrepreneurial spirit of a group of Salvadorans that wanted to create El Salvador’s ambassador to the world through rum. From the start, they were commited to quality. If they were to make a product worthy of being our country’s ambassador, it had to be top quality. That is why since 2004, we kept distilling and aging and waited 10 years to sell our first bottle of rum. This rum was 8 years old. Now we are very happy, because Ron Cihuatán is the perfect souvenir that Salvadorans proudly give from their country.

Gabriela Ayala: As with all dreams, this process had its challenges. We were pioneers in the crafting of rum. But this also allowed us the liberty to experiment. For example, after our inaugural distillation in 2004, we aged some of this rum in new American oak barrels, as opposed to only using ex-Bourbon barrels. These treasured barrels are now one of the jewels of Cihuatán’s private reserves. Over time, this experiment has paid off and we have rums with unique and delicious flavor profiles. The rum market is extremely competitive, however, the fact of staying true to our origin and history has allowed us to position ourselves as an attractive option for our consumers.First of all: Please tell our readers your name and the position you’re working in at Cihuatan Rum.

Despite being a newcomer, Cihuatan Rum has already made its mark on the international stage, receiving accolades and awards in various spirit competitions. This recognition is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship that goes into each bottle. The name "Cihuatan" is deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of El Salvador. It is derived from the Nahuat language, spoken by the indigenous Pipil people, and means "The Land Beside the Sleeping Woman." This name is a homage to an ancient Mayan city, the remnants of which lie near the distillery and the nearby Guazapa mountain, which is said to resemble a sleeping woman.
