“Smooth, sweet notes but lacks depth.”

The FRC Ecuador (Kirsch Whisky) by Romero & Sons, bottled by Oldman Spirits, offers a layered experience with its 48-year age. Sensing sweet caramel and vanilla aromas gives way to a taste profile enriched with dark chocolate and nutty tones. This rum is often noted for its well-integrated alcohol, though opinions vary regarding its complexity and robustness. Some users found it overly sweet and lacking depth, mentioning that its age may have surpassed optimal maturity. This rum, distilled in Ecuador, is a limited edition of only 212 bottles, captured at 51.8% ABV. An intriguing choice for collectors and connoisseurs, it provides a distinctive exploration of mature Ecuadorian rum, though not universally acclaimed.

“Already better than the RX17309 tasted yesterday. Slight nutty aroma. Less intrusively artificial, alcohol better integrated. But still not really good. No recommendation.”
