Cihuátan was an ancient Mayan city that was granted riches and fertility by a goddess who took the form of a nearby mountain to watch over the sugar cane fields. The name itself is a reference to this legend and translates to “the land beside the sleeping woman”. That’s quite a backstory! Here’s another shocker: Ron de El Salvador Cihuátan is the first Rum distillery in El Salvador. Dedicated to sustainability, Master Blender Gabriela Ayala crafts delicious Spirits, each expression paying tribute to a different Mayan god.
Tlaloc is the Mayan god of rain that was symbolized by the color blue, extracted from the Indigo flower. This is where Cihuátan Indigo finds its inspiration.
