The Flensburg Rum Company 2018 Ecuador Licores Americano Estate 5yo 63.2% 700ml is a unique and intriguing rum originating from Ecuador, a country not typically known for its rum production. Distilled at the Licores Americanos Estate in the Cotopaxi province, named after the iconic Cotopaxi volcano, this five-year-old rum showcases the region's distinctive terroir. Crafted using a Pot Still and aged in former Scotch barrels under the tropical sun, this rum has retained its potent character with an ABV of 63.2%, without any post-aging dilution, sweetening, or coloring. The bottle design pays homage to Ecuadorian culture, featuring a label adorned with a traditional alpaca wool scarf. On the nose, this rum presents a medley of fruity notes, including apples and lemon zest, complemented by hints of cinnamon, caramel, young wood, burnt sugar, and subtle vanilla. The palate reveals a robust profile with brandy-like fruitiness, citrus peels, spices, metallic tones, pencil shavings, and nutty undertones. Despite its youthful character, it offers a charismatic array of flavors, ideal for crafting potent cocktails. The finish is medium-length, delivering a fresh and fruity closure, with notes of chamomile, hay, and geranium. In comparison, the Flensburg Rum Company 2018 Ecuador Licores Americano Estate 6yo 61.7% 700ml, distilled on a Column Still, exhibits a more refined character due to its additional aging.
