Aroma visualization from community tastings
S.B.S Ecuador Malacatos 2022
Funk nerds and agricole fans are the real audience here. This unaged Ecuadorian cane-juice rum smells of glue, nail polish and overripe, almost composty fruit, then hits citrus, grass and raspberry with a sharp, spirity edge. One taster calls it "a funky Clairin-like rum but a bit tamer." At 57% it bites, and many find it works best in a daiquiri or ti-punch.
The community says- Overripe fruit funk
- Grassy agricole character
- Very spirity heat

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very strange white rum. On the nose, pure glue & nail polish with overripe fruit. The taste is then quite alcoholic, salty, bitter and grassy at the same time. Reminds me of a slightly tangy grappa, with artichokes in brine. All in all, simply far too alcoholic and not my cup of tea in terms of aroma. Unfortunately, it doesn't convince me at all in a daiquiri. Too bad.
Review by Ian Gilman
A funky Clairin-like rum but a bit tamer. Very delicious!

Review by Florian P
Sehr fruchtiger und intensiver Rum. Ich schmecke Himbeere und viel Frucht. Schmeckt leicht nach Grappa, wenn er länger im Mund bleibt, wird er etwas garstig und die Zungenspitze wird etwas Pelzig. Mir schmeckt er ganz gut. Das letzte cl hebe ich mir für einen kleinen Cocktail auf.
Review by Nivius
Very nice grassy Agricole, which does really great in the Zi-Punch.Nich particularly complex but quite tasty, even if it is due to the Abv, very tangy.
Review by Oliver
Wow, real power! I'll have to serve this one in a blind tasting (Jamaica funk). 🤓
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Overripe to almost composty, very intense, grassy and almost arracky-bacony. Quite a little overcoming and challenge. Creamy, overripe, almost foul on the palate. A bit of chocolate, lots of overripe fruit, citrus, medium intensity. This is something for the funk nerds, still a bit special for me. Nevertheless, good!

#4017 This one is sharper and more kind of edgy and made for mixers in my mind. Even resting for a good while it will bite a little.
