The inspiration for the name "Cinabrio" stemmed from the vibrant hue of red, a shade that held significance in ancient Maya culture and was achieved through the use of the mineral known as cinnabar, also called Cinabrio. In Mayan mythology, red symbolized the revered deity Kinich Ahau, who represented the sun.

Deep within each bottle of Cihuatán Cinabrio, you will discover a profound connection to Mayan folklore in the form of the Sleeping Woman, a guardian goddess entrusted with protecting the Cihuatán valley. According to legend, the Sleeping Woman would act as an intermediary on behalf of the people of Cihuatán, entreating Kinich Ahau to infuse the valley with his nurturing warmth. Symbolizing Kinich Ahau were two hummingbirds, emblematic of his presence and power.

Cihuatán Sahumerio is a limited edition rum created as a celebration of love. According to Mayan lore, fire was the symbol of love and the eagle goddess Chantico was its guardian. Thus, every loving home would keep a "Sahumerio", a sacred vessel for fire. These Sahumerios would burn day and night in honor of love.

The Maya were a tight-knit community and deeply valued love and relationships. To attract love, they would perform a simple and enchanting ritual: in a Sahumerio, they would burn treats to gain the goddess Chantico’s graces.

Each treat had a meaning: dried flowers or floral honey for romance, dried fruits for family unity, incense for friendship, cacao, seeds and butters for self protection.
