"Won a sample set of the 4 new Sea Shepherd from Kirsch. THANK YOU 🙏. Here is the tropically matured sugar cane juice rum from Ecuador... Nose: despite only 47%, quite intense and even a little cutting at the beginning. Fruity, spicy and woody. Sweet, mealy banana with sour-sweet passion fruit and gooseberry with redcurrant. There is also sour cherry and green apple. Behind this, it is herbaceous and spicy with a little red pepper, vanilla and a hint of mint. Surprisingly beautiful and interesting nose. 8.0 Palate: dry, somewhat thin and quite spicy-woody-tart. Initially salty with lime zest and some caraway, slightly bitter. This is followed by subtle, slightly sweet fruit, perhaps green apple. Becomes grassy at the back with herbs and citrusy notes of kumquat. Weaker and more brittle than the nose, appears alcoholic at first despite the low %. 7,6 Quite unusual for Ecuador and therefore interesting."

"Equador, intense fruity nose at the beginning, also a little buttery with a light honey touch. Taste a little thin, light fruity sweetness with burnt sugar and a little acidity. Finishes a little peppery. Is ok as a sample"

"For tasting as a sample directly from Kirsch. A rum made from sugar cane juice from Ecuador. I'm not so familiar with the distillation traditions, but in terms of taste I would say it was previously made from molasses. So something new again, very nice! Exciting nose, quite herbal, almost reminds me of younger PMs. Unfortunately very thin on the palate, some potential is lost here. Otherwise a little sweet, reminiscent of honey, which again I find somewhat exciting. Overall an exciting new bottling, but nothing that I personally need."

"Bottle Market Bremen Oktober 2024. Hat wie ich finde eine heftige Nase, riecht für mich nach einer frisch gesäubert Toilette, heftig. Am Gaumen hat er dann eine gewisse Süße (Schokolade) und Würze. Der bislang schlechteste heute."
