Cihuatan 12Y Cinabrio
Cihuatan 12 Years Cinabrio is an exceptional rum from El Salvador, carefully crafted from cane syrup and molasses.
Its name, "Cinabrio," is inspired by cinnabar, a red mineral used by the Mayans to honor their sun god, Kinich Ahau.
This rum has aged for at least 12 years in the cellars of Licorera Cihuatan, in American oak barrels that previously contained bourbon.
The rich history and artisanal production method of this rum make it a true celebration of Mayan culture and Salvadoran craftsmanship.
TASTING NOTES :
NOSE: A pleasant balance between fruity and tangy aromas and slightly roasted notes. Soft spices, such as vanilla and cinnamon, settle delicately, offering a mellow aromatic profile. With aeration, notes of lemon syrup and pomegranate juice are revealed, followed by increasingly concentrated red fruits tinged with vanilla and lightly toasted sweet spices.
PALATE : Sweet and easy to drink, it opens with notes of grenadine with citrus accents. Soft spices take over mid-palate, accompanied by a sweet caramel that coats the taste buds. The fruits reappear, this time enhanced with roasted touches.
FINISH : Round and light, the finish is marked by vanilla that makes one last tour of the palate before gently fading away.

The result is a zesty and fresh spirit with a hint of sea air.

Etsu DoubleYuzu Japanese Gin

Cihuatan Viento 15Y 43.5%
Cihuatán Viento is a Limited Edition rum inspired by the legend of Ehécatl, Mayan god of the wind. To honor this divine force, our Master Blender Gabriela Ayala selected ex-bourbon barrels and moved them to a special warehouse filled with the aromas of El Salvador: orange peel from the North, pineapple peel from the South, spices from the East, and balsam from the West. Over two years, the breath of Ehécatl gently infused these flavors into the rum, creating a legendary spirit that pays homage to the wind’s touch.
Phraya Rum Elements
The aging of Phraya Elements follows the tradition of maturing the distillate in American oak ex-bourbon casks, which are stored and left exposed to the open air near tranquil lagoons. A blend of aged rums, this premium-quality rum offers unique taste sensations that reflect the spirit of the "Craft of Refinement."
