El Dorado 21-Year

Kærlighed ved første sip. Denne rom er så lækker. Jeg elsker at byde mine gæster denne masterblend. Hat genkøbt den 2 gange nu og jeg er stadig vild med den.

I was able to sample this rum at a local liquor store as buying a bottle (almost $400) was out of the question.

Extremely smooth, slightly sweet, with an interesting caramel flavor. A bit of a spicy feeling on the tongue, with almost no burn when swallowed.

Personally, I do not think the vast difference in price warrants purchasing it over the El Dorado 15 year or Zacapa.

Im not a fan of ED12, so I didn't have much expectations for this. But I was positively surprised! The nose is brilliant, lot of spices and licorice. The taste is a mixture of dryness thats topped with a soft sweetness, - makes a killer combo! This is actually far more dry than I would expect, but they make it work. I would give it 8,5 if I could.

I had this rum in Jamaica for the first time and was surprised on the nice flow it presented. A bit more flavor and bite than the 15 year olds.. A gentle smell, but heat and spice upon tasting... A slight smoky taste with Cinnamon and nutty overtones. I like this surprise and will get more as I will the 15 Year old also..

This is definitely in my top five rums. For rums based on value it's right up there, but I would give the edge to the 15 year old, as to me the 15 year old tastes very similar, but is priced less. If price isn't a concern then this one is right up there.

I can recommend this one, even I don't like it's been sweetened after distilling.

My friend Dave that is on this site recommended this amazing Rum. Im glad he did. I absolutely love it. So smooth with amazing flavors. honestly could not stop drinking it. I want to buy this rum every time I see it on the shelf. Price point $99 is generous for this perfect rum.

Een rum met een ontzettend lange rijpperiode van maar liefst 21 jaar lang! El Dorado 21 Year Old Special Reserve is één van de beste rum die wij hier hebben mogen proeven, een sensatie voor de smaakpapillen. Het is een rum die gemaakt is voor de echte kenners en liefhebbers en het beste genoten kan worden door er langzaam van te genieten, samen met enkele speciale vrienden.

De formidabele kleur en het uitzonderlijke karakter is het resultaat van de Meesterdistilleerder van El Dorado. Aan de hand van zijn speciale recept worden speciaal geselecteerde rum geblend, rum die minstens 21 jaar hebben gerijpt op eikenhout, afkomstig van de Coffey still (Enmore hout), de Versailles 'single wooden pot still' en de Albion Savalla still.

This is a an awesome rum smooth complex and one not to be mixed.

This is a heavy rum, the taste lingers in your mouth leaving you glad you tried this. If your a fan of the others 12 / 15 then this should be one you add to your collection as a treat to yourself to justify the price.

Très joli nez plein de saveurs
Très belle complexité en bouche et un équilibre parfait.

La prima volta che ho provato questo fantastico Demerara sono rimasto sbalordito dal suo gusto suadente: morbido, dolce con grazia, complesso negli aromi che sprigiona.
Finale moooolto lungo.

Was concerned the rum would be come to oaky at 21 as the 15 was pushing it.

It doesn't it's excellent. Would give it a ten if it was little cheaper......

Jeg vil dog sige, at normalt er mere til 15års El Dorado, men denne skal da ikke snydes og er jo en super dejlig Rom. Skal klart smages, men Rom kender sætter mere pris for dens smag og styrke, end en nybegynder.

I'm this is am excellent rum. It might be to heavy for newcomers. Unfortunately a little bit overpriced compared to the taste of an plantation xo.
Over all a solid choice for dessert or a cigar.

This El Dorado 21 years is lean, dark bodied and getting the heat up a notch.
There is a scent of fruits and spices. Also notes of honey and melasses.

What a great rum! Bursting with flavour. Not to be mixed. Fantastic flavour and aftertaste. No need for ice.

El Dorado 21 år er en fabelagtig rom med en duft, der både indeholder det let røgede tobaksagtige og det syrlige citrusagtige element, omend man samtidig fornemmer en dyb underliggende sødme.

Smagen er kraftig med masser af fad, og den præges indledende af den høje alc. pct. på 43. Dog virker den ikke sprittet eller skarp. Rommen er overraskende tør og de røgede, syrlige og søde smagsnoter udvikles langsomt, men hænger længe i ganen.

Duft og smag er i overensstemmelse med hinanden. Denne rom er perfekt til eftertænksomme aftener - er blevet fast inventar i skabet 👍

El Dorado 21-Year Rum er en næsten perfekt rom, den har en karakter af røget, men er perfekt afrundet med masser af sødme

Fantastisk smagspalet, rig på nuancer, meget velafbalanceret. Melasse, farin, honning, citrus, en snert røg, lidt tobak, lakrids? og igen noget frugt... Lækker.

Found this to be one of the sweetest I've ever had. I've had to remind myself that it's a rum and not a liqueur. That being said, I really enjoyed it.

It's thick and extremely smooth. I'd considered pouring this on waffles in the morning if I didn't have a day job. Nearly no spice. A lot of rich sugars with a beach wood pallet. I'll be buying this again, or trying the 12 or 15yr.

A more refined, mellow and complex version of the 12 and 15 combined to me sans the smokiness from the 15.Mixed fruits and spicy oak, dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee and a dry long fruity finish. An exquisite rum!

Nose: light sweet , caramel , dry fruit ,alcoholic,wood
Taste: light sweet, spicy , caramel , alcoholic, dry fruit ,vanilla , sugar,wood.
sharper than the 12 or 15 year old one.

Guf for ganen

In der Nase kommen Aromen von Holz, Rauch, Kaffee, Schokolade und etwas Honig. Im Geschmack kommt noch "Erde" dazu. Der Geschmack ist süß und lang anhaltend. Meiner Meinung kann man hier nicht viel falsch machen, ein Rum der viele ansprechen dürfte.
