A rare 50 year old Ecuadorian cane juice rum from Romero & Sons, bottled by Oldman Spirits at 50.4% from a single ex-bourbon cask, soft and gently sweet with chocolate, caramel and herbs, surprisingly light for its age.
Description
This is an unusual bottle: a 1973 vintage cane juice rum from Romero & Sons in Ecuador, selected as a single cask by German bottler Oldman Spirits and bottled unsweetened at 50.4%. Half a century old at moderate strength, it is a curiosity for drinkers who want to tick off a genuinely rare, very aged spirit.
Despite fifty years in ex-bourbon oak, the profile stays gentle rather than heavily concentrated: chocolate, caramel, herbs and dark cocoa on the nose, a chocolate and herbal palate with some warmth, and a sweet, nutty, woody finish. The intensity is lighter than the age might suggest, so approach it as a smooth, chocolate-leaning sipper and a conversation piece rather than a powerhouse old cask.
