Cihuatan

In the Mayan language, Cihuatán means “the land next to the sleeping woman.” The choice of this name is no coincidence! In fact, it is an explicit reference to Mount Guazapa (located in El Salvador), whose silhouette resembles that of a slumbering woman. Legend has it that she is a goddess who once brought wealth and fertility to the surrounding lands. The brand aims to pay tribute to El Salvador’s rich history and cultural heritage.

It is with this ancient legend that the story of Cihuatánrums begins —trueambassadors of El Salvador who do the country proud through their mastery and expertise. From sugarcane to bottling, including aging in oak barrels, the brand oversees every stage of its rum production to offer an immersive journey into the heart of its country’s legends. It’s no coincidence that this spirits brand is not only the first but also the only distillery in El Salvador!

Furthermore, what makes the brand so unique and exceptional is that each of its spirits pays a distinctive tribute to the Mayan gods. For example,CihuatánJade rum is crafted in honor of the deity Chac Chel (goddess of art and muse to the artisans and artists of the time),CihuatánIndigo 8-Year-Old Rum is dedicated to the rain god Tlaloc,Cihuatán Cinabrio 12-Year-Old Rum is associated with the sun god Kinich Ahau, and finally,CihuatánAlux Rum is dedicated to the Aluxes, the guardian gods of the earth.
