Licorera Cihuatán Cihuatán Sahumerio Aged Rum 2006
What catches people off guard is the chili heat — a real pepper burn that runs down the throat, sitting alongside dark chocolate, cinnamon, orange peel and roasted almonds. It's spicy and creamy at 45.2%, but the sweetness is heavy enough that a few tasters mistook it for a spiced rum. Loud, individual, and clearly sweetened.
The community says- Chili-chocolate spice
- Roasted almond notes
- Contains added sugar

How does Licorera Cihuatán Cihuatán Sahumerio Aged Rum 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 98 community reviews.
Spicy, sweet chocolate-chili sipper Divisive. Fans love the wild chili-chocolate-cinnamon character; others find it too sweet, soapy or thin, missing "genuine rum aromas." The added sugar and spiced-rum feel split the room.

vůně příjemně mírně nasladla, vanilka? chuť jemná, po delším držení mirnounce simra parádní chut
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Completely wild on the nose. Spicy, but not alcoholic, but towards chili. The typical Cihuatan chocolate notes are also there, mixed with cinnamon. Insane amount going on here and enormously independent character. Sweet in the mouth, then spicy to hot. Cinnamon/chili/chocolate also there again. Creamy honey sweetness, almonds, slightly smoky but always with fire. You have to stand on it, but if you do it is really good.

Review by MJ72
Sehr angenehme Nase, fruchtig nach Pflaume, am Gaumen rund und fruchtig, angenehme Süße mit mittellangem Abgang. Top Edition
Review by Felix Reiber
Very interesting bottling from Cihuatan. Compared to the Cinabrio, it is much spicier and has almost smoky notes, which stand out alongside orange peel, dark caramel and roasted almonds. The ingenious 45.2 % brings a great spiciness, but is occasionally slightly tangy on the tongue. There is a noticeable after-sweetness, but this does not really detract from the aroma. Quite a small price for this variety of flavors.
Review by 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...

Doux et doux une alternative au Diplomatico
Review by Miňo
Pre mňa celkom fajn rum,záver by som čakal dlhší. V sladkosti ma však niečo málo vyrušovalo.
Review by MoMcGurk
I am having a difficult time placing the flavors. Oak and honey come to mind, but there is more. Straight is a little better than mixed, and I picked up very little burn.
Review by Lukáš Jarník
Príjemná jemná chuť. Dá sa piť celý večer.
Review by MarcT
Another one from the Rum&Co Sample Set. At first I had to check the data, is that a spiced Rum? The vanilla note as well as the orange and some cinnamon, combined with a notable sweetness are indicators, but I am not convinced they are additives. However despite being sharp, warm and creamy, I am not impressed as I am missing some of the genuine Rum aromas. The finish reminds me of a dessert drink. I can see this being appealing to many people, but after some Hampden DOK, good Demarara and delicate Barbados this type of Rum will not exite me.

Spannend! Orange, weihnachtliche Gewürze, Pfirsich, Vanille.

Review by Tom Buteneers
Lijkt wat op een spiced rum qua smaakprofiel voor mij (denk door de link met sinaasappel). Het “hoestsiroop-effect” dat me doet denken aan The Demon’s Share is aanwezig, maar duidelijk veel beter gebalanceerd.
Review by Werni
Zur Abwechslung gibts zwischendurch mal was in Trinkstärke😉.El Salvador zählt jetzt nicht so zu meinen Favoriten, dennoch macht er eine recht gute Vorstellung. Die Nase ist sanft, mit süßen Karamell und Vanillearomen und Orange, dazu eine winterliche Würzmischung ( passend zur Jahreszeit)😉 und eine Prise Schoko/Chili. All das setzt mich im Mund fort, die Chilischärfe ist echt interessant wie sie so im Hals hinab läuft. Für mich aber zu Süß das Ganze. Im spanischen Stile aber ein interessanter Vertreter der bestimmt seine Freunde hat.
Review by Oliver
Unfortunately, I don't like the taste at all. Soapy and artificial.
Review by Ondrej Czinege
Vůně po ovoci, příjemná chut
Review by Wagnerlicious
Ein sehr würzig, rostiger Rum. Noten dunkler Schokolade, Nüssen und geröstetem Kaffee/Mokka. Ein halbabgekühlter gebackener Schokobrownie beschreibt es für mich am besten.
