Ron Cihuatán is El Salvador's most celebrated rum distillery — and one of the most mythologically rich spirits brands in the world. Named after the ancient pre-Hispanic Mayan city of Cihuatán, which translates to "the land beside the sleeping woman" in Nahuat — a reference to the Mayan goddess whose spirit still watches over the sugarcane fields in the form of Guazapa Mountain — every bottle in the lineup pays tribute to a different Mayan god or legend. Founded in 2004 as El Salvador's first rum distillery, Cihuatán operates under master blender Gabriela Ayala, using a 100-year-old sugarcane mill and molasses sourced from parent company Ingenio La Cabaña, then aging exclusively in American oak ex-bourbon barrels in the warm tropical climate of the Cihuatán valley. The result is a lineup that spans the full range of aged rum complexity — from the cocktail-forward Jade white rum aged 4 years, to the dessert-rich Indigo at 8 years, the opulent Cinabrio at 12, the rare Alux at 15, and the extraordinary Xaman XO at 16. Each bottle is a piece of Mayan heritage worth exploring. Browse our full Ron Cihuatán collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.
