Romero & Sons FRC Ecuador (Kirsch Whisky) 1973
Most enjoy the dark chocolate, caramel sweetness and gentle wood, but many find it flat, alcoholic and far from a “50‑year” experience. Consensus: interesting rarity, only a solid sipper.
Seasoned enthusiasts curious about very old, cask‑strength Latin-style rums who don’t mind a sweeter, lighter profile and value rarity and story over sheer complexity.

Phew, I really expected more. Regardless of the data of the rum, which sound interesting at first, quite "sober" considered: Alcoholic, flat, column style, a little more flavor compared to the others, chocolate, some barrel.
Auto-translatedBei dem hier kann man zumindest Dunkle Schokolade wahrnehmen. Leider konnte keines der vier Fässer überzeugen. zu süß, viel zu flach, von knapp 50 jahren Lagerzeit erwartet man einfach mehr. Alkohol ist auch sehr präsent, brennt....
The next FRC. Again a little too sweet, but not as bad as the previous one. Again vanilla, caramel and dark chocolate on the nose and palate. Also quite spicy and slightly alcoholic on the palate.
Auto-translatedGefällt mir besser als RX17309 und RX17310, ist aber immer noch enttäuschend. Vielleicht auch einfach nicht mein bevorzugter Stil.
