Romero & Sons FRC Ecuador (Kirsch Whisky) 1973 50yr 56,1%

RX17220 Good Pot Still Rum Single Cask 195 bottles <250€
“Aged rum lacking expected complexity and depth.”

The FRC Ecuador (Kirsch Whisky) is a rare, cask-strength rum from the Romero & Sons distillery. Distilled in 1973 and aged for 50 years, it showcases notes of vanilla, chocolate, and caramel in its aroma, while the palate features spicy, chocolate, nutty, and oak undertones. Despite its impressive aging process and limited availability of just 195 bottles, reviews suggest it falls short in complexity and overall satisfaction, with some describing it as too sweet and flat. The alcohol presence is notable, with some users finding it harsh. While possessing an appealing chocolate note, expectations of depth from its significant age are not fully met, according to users.

“Gefällt mir besser als RX17309 und RX17310, ist aber immer noch enttäuschend. Vielleicht auch einfach nicht mein bevorzugter Stil.”
