S.B.S. Ecuador 7 Year Old Rum 2016 – Bourbon & Virgin Oak Single Cask 57%

S.B.S. Ecuador 7 year Rum 2016 is a powerful and exclusive rum from the acclaimed Single Barrel Selection series from Danish 1423 World Class Spirits. This rum is bottled from a single cask and produced in a very limited number of bottles, making it a special release for collectors and rum lovers seeking authentic and characterful rum experiences.

The rum was distilled in Ecuador in 2016 and matured for 7 years in a combination of classic bourbon casks and fresh Virgin Oak barrels. This double barrel aging adds both elegance and intensity to the rum. The bourbon barrels contribute soft notes of vanilla, caramel and sweet spices, while the Virgin Oak barrels provide extra structure, depth and warm spicy nuances. The result is a complex rum with plenty of character and an impressive depth of flavor.

At 57% strength, this rum delivers an intense and authentic experience where both the natural character of the distillate and the influence of the cask are evident. The S.B.S. range is known for highlighting the rum’s origin and unique cask expression, so each bottling is an honest snapshot of the rum straight from the cask.

On the palate, the rum is rich and powerful with layers of brown sugar, spices, dark chocolate and lightly toasted oak. The Virgin Oak barrels provide a distinct spicy structure, while the bourbon barrels add roundness and sweetness. The finish is long, warm and complex with deep notes of wood, spice and caramel.
