The Cihuatan Solera Reserva Especial Tin Tube 12yo 40% 700ml is a premium rum from El Salvador's renowned Licorera Cihuatan distillery. This exquisite rum has been aged for a minimum of 12 years using the solera system in American oak barrels that previously held bourbon. Introduced in 2015, this rum quickly gained acclaim, earning a double gold medal at the International Rum Conference Madrid in 2016. The vision for Cihuatan rum was born in the 1990s by a leading sugar producer aiming to craft a premium rum emblematic of El Salvador. Licorera Cihuatan, established in 2004, stands as the country's first and only distillery dedicated to producing high-quality premium rum. The entire production process, from the cultivation of raw materials to aging, takes place on-site, ensuring meticulous quality control. The 12 Solera Reserva Especial is expertly crafted under the watchful eye of Master Blender Gabriela Ayala. The Cihuatan brand draws inspiration from the Maya-Pipil culture and the nearby archaeological site of Cihuatan. The name "Cihuatan" translates to "next to the woman," alluding to the mountain range near the distillery, which resembles a sleeping woman. This imagery is reflected in the distillery's logo, featuring a relief of the Guazapa mountain range. This exceptional rum made waves as the first from El Salvador to captivate European rum aficionados. The Cihuatan Solera Reserva Especial Tin Tube is a truly unique and special rum, offering a rich flavor and a smooth, satisfying finish.
