S.B.S Ecuador 2016
Most enjoy its vanilla, caramel and spicy virgin oak character at 57%. Critics find the alcohol sharp, wood dominant and somewhat faceless. Consensus: solid, quirky, wood-heavy sipper for niche tastes.
Enthusiasts who enjoy dry, wood-forward rums at higher ABV, with vanilla, caramel, baking spices and herbal notes, and who are curious about lesser-seen origins like Ecuador.

How does this rum taste?
Wood-heavy, spicy Ecuadorian outlier
If you like dry, oak-driven bottlings like Don Q single barrels or other 1423 S.B.S experiments, this is a logical next sample—interesting wood and spice, but not a crowd-pleaser.
Those sensitive to alcohol heat, beginners expecting an easy, sweet Spanish-style sipper, or drinkers who dislike dominant virgin oak and dry, tannic finishes.

Fair evaluation. Tasted as part of the S.B.S. tasting. Interesting rum from Ecuador. A slight menthol note stands out for me on the nose. Then fruity, slightly sweet, spices, caramel and wood on the palate.
Moc pěkná ovocná vůně řízlá kávou, čokoládou a pralinkama. Úplně bych řekl, že to má finiš po vínu. V chuti rozhodně něco zajímavého technického, ale i dost trpkosti. Hezký ovocný závěr s bylinkami a karamelem. Pikantní a hřejivý. Pro mě zajímavý neotřelý rum.
A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024, S.B.S. Masterclass. Dry herbs on the nose, yellow fruit compote and a light pepperiness. On the palate, dry herbs, young wood and the usual caramel and vanilla. The finish is moderately long, though soon all that remains is the fresh wood. A rum marked by new wood (2 years after 6 years of ex-bourbon).
Tasted at German Rum Festival Good rum. Rather odd taste though
