Once again, the vintage ECS always perform well for me. These have a great depth of flavor, nice tropical notes, spices, and are some of the more approachable rums when it comes to the wise spectrum of flavors rum has to offer. I think this 2009 vintage is one of the better ones to date of the ECS series I have had. No surprise they continue to make high quality rum down there at Foursquare.
