El Dorado 1986 25-Year

Im direkten Vergleich zum 1980er deutlich schlechter,weniger Farbe und Konsistenz ,schwächere Nase,
Im Moment noch recht problemlos um 400 Euro zu bekommern.aber für mich ganz klar das Geld nicht wert,
Da kaufe ich mir lieber einen besseren alten Zacapa zwische 200-300 Euro oder für viel weniger Geld den 21 jährigen Ei Dorado der auch wirklich gut ist.

Sip straight up, it would be a sin to mix this rum.
Nice caramel-golden colour in the glass.
Nose: Raising and fruit, a hint of vainilla
Flavour: Very smooth and balanced but not timid, long pleasant aftertaste. As it smells, hints of raising and fruit, vanilla and tobacco, maybe even a little molasses...
It is very nice, I got a bottle from my lovely wife as a gift....must have done something right!

Very mature, caramelised brown sugar.

Incredibly smooth.

Ginger taste and lots of depth but not better than the 21 yr old in my book so can't justify the cost.

The bottle is really cool and if you need a centrepiece to your shelf then in might be easier to justify.

Complex drink; spice on the entry along with oak and tons of brown sugar also hints of fig and dates but not overly sweet.
The finish is dry and fruity.
Great rum but for almost $400 bones i don't think it is quite worth that.
