Romero & Sons FRC Ecuador (Kirsch Whisky) 1973 50yr 56,1%

RX17220 Good Pot Still Rum Single Cask 195 bottles Under 250€
“Interesting try, more flavor than others, hints of chocolate.”

"FRC Ecuador (Kirsch Whisky)" is a highly sought-after, 50-year-old, cask-strength rum from the Romero & Sons distillery in Ecuador. Selected by Oldman Spirits GmbH and crafted from sugar cane honey using a Pot Still, it boasts a unique, interesting profile. This exclusive rum tends to surprise rum enthusiasts with its intense alcoholic aroma, intertwined with playful notes of vanilla, chocolate, and caramel. The flavor profile moves from spicy and nutty to the comfort of oak and chocolate, ending with a tropical fruit punch. Despite being column-styled, it manages to have a depth of flavor that is hard to resist, making it perfect for savoring straight or with just a touch of cola and ice. Limited to 195 bottles worldwide.

How does this rum taste?

Disappointing despite its age. Overly sweet, lacks depth, and fails to deliver expected complexity. Some found hints of chocolate and herbs, but overall, it's considered flat and unpleasant, with a better mix with cola. Not worth the excitement.
