How does this rum taste?
FRC Ecuador (Kirsch Whisky) is a rare rum, originating from Ecuador's Romero & Sons distillery. Distilled in 1973 and aged for 50 years, it was bottled by Oldman Spirits GmbH at cask strength with an ABV of 50.4%. Users note dominant aromas of caramel and chocolate, with a strong alcoholic presence both in scent and taste. While it hints at herbal and nutty undertones, some find it overly sweet and lacking depth despite its age. Its rich chocolate and caramel flavors are often noted as positives, although some users feel these are overshadowed by an intense alcoholic bite, making it less enjoyable. Overall, the rum showcases traditional Ecuadorian influences yet disappoints some expectations for its age.

All right, I'll try the samples from zabo. Today No. 1: Uh, really not great. Tastes like neutral alcohol mixed with artificial peach flavoring. You can somehow (with some effort) recognize the Spanish style. But I don't find the alcohol well integrated and the rum somehow "thin" despite being over 50%. I don't even want to talk about the actual age of the rum. Perceived age 5 years at most. Too bad.
Franconian Tasting Gang Wenn nur mit Cola und Eis. Edit: Diese Aussage muss ich leider zurücknehmen. Es ist glaube ich so ziemlich mit meine einzige Rum Cola gewesen, die ich bisher weggeschüttet habe, weil ich diese nicht runterbekommen habe.

Und der nächste Schokoladenrum. Hinzu kommen hier Kräuter in der Nase, außerdem sehr alkoholisch. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls viel Alkohol und wieder Schokolade, außerdem noch leichte Noten von Karamell. Alkohol nicht so gut eingebunden.
