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.
Let's see: from Ecuador, I usually expect a light, simple Spanish-style rum. However, the key data of this rum here sound much more interesting. Almost 50 years old! But in fact we don't know exactly what's in it, because the old barrel must have been topped up with rums of the same style in the 90s. But then the youngest portion is still 30 years old! Nose: very pleasant, restrained but still concentrated and round. No alcohol stings there. First I get to smell pleasant chocolate, caramel and fine vanilla. Sweetness of nougat comes in. Very dark and ripe cherry, black currant and red grape in the background. Fragrant cherry wood and flavored pipe tobacco round out. Yes, I like it well. 8.4 Palate: again, not overbearing, yet powerful. Chocolaty-sweet at first, then a slight bitter-salty note comes in before cherry wood and molasses take over. Dry vanilla and old cardboard, plus tonka bean and pecan, and tobacco can also be found behind it. In terms of fruit, maybe a dark, pickled cherry gets there. 8,2 Taken on its own, I don't find it as bad as the other reviews suggest at all. PLV is right for what it is.
Nase nichtssagend, Gaumen nichtssagend. Kaum trinkbar.
Already better than the RX17309 tasted yesterday. Slight nutty aroma. Less intrusively artificial, alcohol better integrated. But still not really good. No recommendation.
