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.

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.
Phew, I really expected more. Regardless of the data of the rum, which sound interesting at first, quite "sober" considered: Alcoholic, little flavor, flat, column style, a touch of vanilla.
Man kann ganz leichte Frucht wahrnehmen, kann es aber nicht zuordnen. Ausser Alkohol, Süß & bischen holz kommt da nix. 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....
Ähnliches Bild wie beim 1972er Fass: Sehr süss, hier vielleicht etwas runder, weil die Süsse einen Ticken runder daherkommt, aber leider weiterhin mit dem oxidierten Aromen, die in Richtung Kräuter tendieren. Geniessbar, aber keine Offenbarung.
