Christian de Montaguère Licorera Cihuatán Folklore Creación 2022
Tastes like Barbados but isn't — that's the running surprise here. Sixteen years of column-still El Salvador comes across dry and rounded, with barrel wood up front, then vanilla, caramel, coconut and a bit of chocolate. At 53% it stays easy to drink, and several members note how it dodges the sweetness the distillery is known for. Pastry notes without the sugar.

Review by Roman Lelek
Už od prvního ochutnání jsem tušil, že někdo “klame tělem”, že to sice chutná jako Barbados, ale ten to není, ani uhlazená Jamajka. Ve vůni i chuti dost cítím dřevo - vyzrálý sud…je to typ rumu, co mi chutná..a má i příjemný závěr… Oproti ostatním rumům stejné značky už mi přijde jako “dospěly” brácha…není sladký, má víc % ale i tak je příjemný na pití a zakulacený.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Incroyable découverte que ce rhum de 16 ans d’âge sélectionné par Christian de Montaguère. On pourrait même penser à un pur jus agricole tellement ce rhum est subtil. Un travail remarquable
Review by Quentin Rum
Un des meilleurs Sud Américains que j'ai pu goûter. Hypra gourmand, péchu sans être puissant. On est vraiment sur des marqueurs pâtissiers et épicés sans tomber dans le sucre, cest aussi un peu torrefié. Une sorte de profil proche des Demeraras, mais en plus léger et fin, moins intense. Super bouteille plus pour le plaisir que la dégustation pure !
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
A very good, rather gourmand product where you can really feel the bourbon side with notes of mango and spices. Nice ron, nice surprise, not at all sweet!

Review by Filip Šikula
Ve vůni cítím sud a sladké tóny čokolády, kokosu a karamelu. Po napití příjemně překvapí absence přesladlosti, vyšší abv a propis sudu, což rum posouvá na chvost produkce značky. Připomíná barbados. Střední závěr.
Review by 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.
