Romero & Sons Flensburg Rum Company Ecuador Hammerhead - Sea Shepherd 2005
"The taste is full but without any extra strong part," one member sums up — and that's the honest read on this Ecuadorian pot-still. Seventeen years of tropical ex-bourbon aging show up as wood, spice, dried fruit and a light medicinal, nutty edge. It drinks dry and a touch bitter, but at 63.5% the alcohol never quite settles in.
The community says- Rare Ecuador origin
- 17Yo tropical age
- Heat not integrated

Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Dry, woody 17yo Ecuador pot-still, a rare find A rare Ecuador bottling most call decent rather than exciting — dry, woody, and marked down mainly because the high-proof heat isn't fully tamed.

#4596 02.02.2024 Relaxing at home while preparing for a triple tasting next week, phew that's going to be a tough one. Not too bad a rum but I think the ABV could have been better integrated. Nose Wood, light roasted, dried fruit, floral, light caramel, faint medicinal, light chocolate. Palate Wood, roasted, fruity, light nutts, chocolate, light caramel, light medicinal. Finish Medium long, wood, herbal, light nutts, light caramel. The empty glass has some tobacco and faint coffee.
