Cihuatán Xaman XO is an unusual ultra-premium 16-year-old rum named after Xaman, the mayor god of the North Star and the Cihuatán Valley .
In the heart of each of the bottles of Cihuatán Xaman rum, however, is a sleeping woman, a Mayan goddess and protector of the Cihuatán Valley. Legend has it that under the cover of night, he looks for the brightest of the stars in the sky - the North, to beg for wisdom and prosperity from Xaman before resting on the sacred tree of Ceiba for the valley and its inhabitants.
It is the first XO rum exported from El Salvador and is the work of Master Blenderka Gabriela Ayala. The elegant taste profile was created by extra-old Salvadoran rums , which matured for 15 years in American oak barrels after bourbon, and then completed the maturation with a year in barrels from the Mayan tree of Ceiba life . The wood from this tree was once used by the Maya to make protective items in combat, for spells that bring prosperity, and for making voyages. The bark of the tree was also used as food for its healing effects.
Rum is packed in cardboard packaging from sustainable sources with an FSC certificate. Enjoy it alone or on ice. It also tastes great with small snacks in the form of smoked and roasted meat, serrano ham, light cheeses such as brie, camembert, burrata, with olives or raisins.
