This rum comes from a secret distillery in El Salvador, the smallest country in Central America, now recognized as a rum-producing region in its own right. The distillery is located in the Cihuatán Valley, a name that means "the sleeping beauty" in the local dialect, referring to the silhouette of the mountain that borders the valley—an allusion that is directly reflected on the bottle's label.
This multi-column rum, made from molasses, has matured for 13 years, including 10 years in the tropical climate of El Salvador in American white oak barrels, followed by 3 additional years in the continental climate of England in ex-Bourbon barrels. This double maturation gives it a remarkable balance, without any additives.
Bottled at 57.8% vol., this Batch 1 is a strictly limited edition, designed for enthusiasts curious to discover a terroir still little known to the general public.
