Folklore (Perola)
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Beautiful single cask from cihuatan from El Salvador. Personally, a little too cognac-like, a little too woody and "vinous" and the alcohol could be better integrated. Overall, however, solid sfoff and probably the oldest single barrel from El Salvador to date! And in direct comparison to the predecessor definitely much better!"
Folklore (RumRock)
Top review from Enriko Špinler:
"I took a sample and gave it to my friends who drink less ABV. I was surprised because it got good reviews. I especially liked the smell of this rum, where plums and orange dominate, then there is wood and caramel. Taste - spicy, alcoholic, oak, cherry Finish - warm, tropical fruit, woody"
Folklore Creación
Top review from Godspeed:
"It's not bad at all, with plenty of age and watts, but still not quite to my taste. There's a smokiness and peatiness that I don't like, as I'm usually looking for more acidity and sharpness. Tried it on the spot at Christian Montaguere in Paris and I recommend all rum lovers in the world to pay it a visit. Absolutely top-notch store in every respect."
Nahual Legacy Blend
Top review from Gregor :
"For me, the new discovery of the rumfestival 2020. Very exciting what comes out of this small country. Addendum 2024: For me, this is still the best rum coming from El Salvador. With really unique sounds and not so easy to copy. Unfortunately, the price for this bottle has risen into three figures."
Folklore (Cihuatán Fanpage)
Top review from Roman Lelek:
"Ve vůni cítím především sladkost karamelu a dřevo, v chuti také , na to, že je to 17 let starý rum, čekal jsem větší integraci do chuti.. Popravdě myslím, že publikum si tento rum určitě najde..pokud vyzkoušíte nižší řady, bude to fajn.."
Rum Artesanal El Salvador Rum
Top review from Christian Rudt:
"Had this bottle on the shelf for a long time and someone wanted a sample so I opened it. Lots of herbs, slight bitterness. I like the apple notes and the slightly chocolaty finish. Update 5.5.24: Still a good drinkable rum, alcohol could be a bit better integrated at this strength. Recommended if you want to escape from the eternal Jamaica Guyana Trinidad pendulum to other flavor regions"
Cihuatán Nantli
Top review from Tim :
"Very nice nose, soft and smooth, plus points for that. This is by far the best thing about this rum, which has been aged for a long time. However, the 40% suggests that the mouthfeel is too thin, and so it is. The finish is also too short."
Cihuatán Folklore Single Barrel Dualidad (Fanpage)
Top review from Matej:
"Another Dualidad in my personal rum book. Aroma is quite alcoholic and not in the good way. I noticed almost like toothpaste scent with combination of medicinal and sugar scents. There is a hint of oak barrel. Taste was much better and gentle. There is flavour of honey (lot of honey), sugarcane, citrus, wood and little bit of spicy flavour. Taste itself is really really gentle, very nice for sipping. Finish is quite long and sharp with floral, medicinal and rubber flavour. I noticed little bit of spice. To be honest not a big fan of bourbon/whisky finnishing, I would put this Dualidad on the second place, but I have two more samples to try."
Nikté Limited Edition
Top review from Tim :
"Delicious specimen, with lots of caramel/honey and an ingenious roasted note of coffee and chocolate. Once you've identified the marzipan note, it runs right through! Also fruity in many ways (lychee/mango?), subtly sweet and very round. Goes down like oil 😋 For even more points, this rum would need more complexity, although I have to say that there are still some components that I can't quite put my finger on. You have to give this rum a few minutes to breathe. Compared to other Cihuatans, it stands out somewhat."
Cihuatán Alux Aged Rum
Top review from Timo Groeger:
"Dieser Rum ist auch ganz in Ordnung. Eher etwas süßlich, schmeckt und riecht in Richtung Schokolade und Karamell. Für mich ist aber der Alkohol nicht richtig eingebunden, den hat man nach dem Genuß noch zu lange im Mund."
Cihuatán Suerte Aged Rum
Top review from Tim :
"Eher schwach an der Nase, obwohl er ein paar Prozente extra bekommen hat. Holz- und Sherryeinflüsse sind dominant, an Nase, Mund und Abgang. Ergänzend gibt es Gewürze, Trockenfrüchte und verschiedene Süßigkeiten. Interessanter Aspekt an der Nase: Bleistiftspähne."
Cihuatán XAMAN XO
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall a smooth and pleasant Latino rum. It’s a 16yo rum containing rums aged for 15 years in American oak ex-Bourbon casks, and finished for one year in Mayan Ceiba casks. It’s fruity and smoky with aroma and flavor of vanilla and pistachio."
Obsidiana
Top review from Schnapsschuesse:
"Holziger und etwas fruchtiger in der Nase als der Indigo. Die Schokoladenaromen sind röstiger und dunkler. Vanille, Zitrus, viel Fass. Auch am Gaumen wieder das Spiel aus Milchschokolade und Frucht. Nussiger und würziger als der Indigo, nicht so reif wie der Cinabrio. Gut süffig, aber nicht so rund wie der Rest der Range."
Cihuatán Folklore - Creación (Svet Nápojov)
Top review from Matej:
"Another opportunity, another rum sample. To be honest there is not extra special I can write about scents of this rum. It is sweet (caramel) little bit medicinal and alcoholic. Mostly I noticed raisins, plums, licorice and mustiness. Taste was pretty similar to scents but I noticed a lot of cognac flavor with kind of dry and woody combination. Finish is in medium level, warmy little bit spicy with lot of mustiness. This bottle was my first “expensive” one, first limited edition. To be honest it is little bit better than any other average rum I had an opportunity to drink."
Ron Colón Rumzcal 33/66
Top review from Rowald Sweet Empire:
"So the smokiness from the Mezcal is very prominent. Dry, yoghurt, minerals. So far interesting and a bit weird...but pretty much as expected when you throw Mezal and Rum together I guess. Taste: more smoke. Almost Islay-esque (as in Whisky). Very dry. Mezcal is very very dominant. It's more heavy in the mix than I would expect. Weird drink, but it sorta works. Not bad at all. Edit: the smokiness gets less after a while. The drier/lemony notes are more prominent."
Cinabrio Ron 12 Años
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"very nice play of orange peel, tangerine & toffee, clearly better than the old 12 cihuatan. apparently not only the design but also the recipe has been improved again here.👌🏽 overall, however, it is a bit woody and one-dimensional but nicely orangey. I find the indigo better in terms of plv."
Cihuatán Sahumerio
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"very fiery, spicy, sweet, exciting complex rum and a worthy successor to the previous limited editions of Cihuatan! in the finish it gets really fiery and wicked again... Unusual but delicious! Still not my favorite..."
8 Years
Top review from Schnapsschuesse:
"Vermutlich die 'Protovariante' des Indigo. Und als solche deutlich unreifer im Charakter. Volle Breitseite Schokolade in der Nase. Daneben findet sich Vanille, etwas Zimt und satte Eiche. Orangenschale und nicht gut, aber passabel eingebundener Alkohol. Riecht mir zu doll, geht stellenweise in Richtung Supermarkt-Süßrum. Geschmacklich dann ähnlich, wenn auch weniger süß als erwartet. Relativ dünn und sehr 'direkt' in den Aromen, wenig komplex. Zur puren Schokolade kommt aber erfreulicherweise noch mehr dazu. Zimt, Vanille, mehr Röstaromen und am deutlichsten Kaffee. Im Abgang dann Schärfe, allerdings zimtig und nicht alkoholisch. Finish sehr kurz. Wer Cihuatan Fan ist kann hier bedenkenlos die Reste zum Abverkaufspreis eintüten. Ansonsten eher zum Indigo greifen - der ist deutlich weiter entwickelt. Und besser. Nachtrag 1: im Direktvergleich mit dem Indigo zwar der klare Vorgänger, aber doch massiv unausgereifter. Sehr viel mehr Kanten, sehr viel plumper, sehr viel weniger amgenehm."
12 Years
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Can’t recommend this rum! It’s produced in a multi column still and I believe the average age of this Solera rum is quite few years. The aroma is very alcoholic. The flavors on the other hand is quite sweet with flavors of vanilla and caramel. The finish is very short."
