Just Landed: Cihuatán Alux Rum

Just arrived from El Salvador, the Cihuatán Alux is a 15 years old limited edition rum finished in former oloroso sherry and cognac casks. 

The name, Alux, is inspired by the Mayan legend of the Aluxes, the guardian gods of the land. To celebrate the harvest and give thanks to the Aluxes the Mayan would hold a feast. Cihuatán’s master blender Gabriel Ayalaya has blended this limited edition rum to reflect the flavours of the feast with hints of cashew nuts, ginger, cinnamon, roasted corn and chocolate. 

The Rum has been beautifully presented with hand numbered bottles and a label design which incorporates symbols of the Aluxes, with a macaw, a jaguar, corn and cacao. Do check out Gabriela’s introduction to the Alux on youtube above.

Amongst others the Cihuatán Alux is available from Shop4whisky, Starmore Boss, Stirchley Wines and Spirits and on Highfern.com
