Cihuatán 15 Alux Aged Rum Limited Edition 43.2% vol. 0.7 l online kaufen

The Cihuatán 15 Alux Aged Rum Limited Edition 43.2% is a limited-edition bottling from El Salvador that combines the Cihuatán Distillery’s tropically matured style with a clear reference to Mayan mythology. The name ‘Alux’ refers to a spirit from traditional Mayan culture and provides this edition with its distinctive thematic framework. The blend utilises rum components produced from molasses, distilled using both pot stills and column stills. Composed by blender Gabriela Ayala, this 2022 limited edition combines distillates aged for up to 15 years. The rum is aged in the tropical climate of El Salvador in ex-bourbon casks made from American white oak, allowing the fruit, vanilla, caramel and wood to blend particularly closely.

At 43.2% ABV, the Cihuatán Alux 15 rum is full-bodied yet well-balanced, with the long tropical cask maturation providing additional depth and a subtly integrated oakiness. Ripe banana, dried apricot and vanilla meet caramel, cinnamon and nutmeg, whilst the woody notes lend structure to the profile. It is precisely the combination of rum from El Salvador, ex-bourbon cask components aged for up to 15 years and the limited-edition blend that makes this 0.7-litre bottling an interesting choice for lovers of matured rums with a fruity, spicy character. The Cihuatán Limited Edition 2022 thus combines its origins, long maturation and a unique history to create a distinctive bottling within the distillery’s premium range.

Tasting Note

Colour: Warm amber.

Nose: Ripe banana, dried apricot and vanilla, accompanied by caramel, subtle oak and delicate notes of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Palate: Silky and medium-bodied with caramel, dried fruit and vanilla, complemented by oak and a subtle spiciness.

Finish: Medium-length and balanced, with lingering vanilla, a light woody note, caramel and dry, lingering spices.

The Cihuatán 15 Alux Aged Rum is particularly well suited to being enjoyed neat at around 18 to 20 °C or over a large ice cube. It pairs very well with mature hard cheeses, roasted nuts, slow-cooked pork or duck breast. When it comes to desserts, apricot tart, banana cake, caramel cream or dark chocolate harmonise beautifully with the fruity and sweet-spicy notes. The cask-aged character also comes into its own in a subtly mixed Rum Old Fashioned.
