- Rare, limited edition
The FRC Ecuador (Kirsch Whisky) is a rare, cask-strength rum from the Romero & Sons distillery. Distilled in 1973 and aged for 50 years, it showcases notes of vanilla, chocolate, and caramel in its aroma, while the palate features spicy, chocolate, nutty, and oak undertones. Despite its impressive aging process and limited availability of just 195 bottles, reviews suggest it falls short in complexity and overall satisfaction, with some describing it as too sweet and flat. The alcohol presence is notable, with some users finding it harsh. While possessing an appealing chocolate note, expectations of depth from its significant age are not fully met, according to users.

"Franconian Tasting Gang If only with cola and ice. Edit: Unfortunately I have to retract this statement. I think it's pretty much the only rum and coke I've ever thrown away because I couldn't get it down."

"Gefällt mir besser als RX17309 und RX17310, ist aber immer noch enttäuschend. Vielleicht auch einfach nicht mein bevorzugter Stil."

"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."
