Description
The name Ron Colon
At the beginning of the 17th century, the Spanish Conquistador Pedro de Alvarado named the recently found province of El Salvador after Jesus Christ, (The Savior
In 1892, the government of President Carlos Ezeta decided to call the Salvadoran peso “Colón” in honour of Christopher Columbus. The Colón remained the motto of El Salvador until 2001, when it was replaced
by the US dollar. We pay tribute to old notes and coins
of ‘Colones’ on our bottle, the label and the unique piece in the cap. This piece is easily removed to be collected.
The method of manufacture
The local sugar cane passes through a century-old cane mill, then molasses is collected. It ferments with unique yeasts for 36 hours before being distilled in a modern multi-column still. After distillation, the rum is aged in white oak bourbon barrels, placed next to the rum that Licorera Cihuatán has been making since 2004. Aged rum Licorera Cihuatán has an 8% share of angels per year. The Master Distiller and Blender is Gabriella Ayala.
