El Dorado 5-Year

Férový poměr ceny a kvality u klasického demerara rumu. Dobrý začátek s rumy. Méně sofistikovaný než starší bráchové.

ED 5years old is a full body tasty (and sweet) Demerara mixer. Would not recomend it as a sipper. Deep amber colour, rich vanila and toffee flavor. Best mixed with bitter fruit juices insteed of the classic coke. Must have in the cabinet for tasty cocktails

I like sweet rums and I cannot lie so the El Dorado line is one of my favorites. This is my go-to rum for mixing drinks that call for a blended aged rum, but not quite a sipper and I love it for hot-buttered rum. It isn't harsh or funky at all and gives quiet strength to cocktails that lean to the sweeter side (not like stupid sweet boat drinks and pina coladas, but the sweeter tiki style drink.) of the tiki spectrum. It isn't really a 10 but it is so inexpensive, it is the best value for mixers I have found.

A good priced rum with a better flavour than your run of the mill national brands. Not as complex a flavour as the aged El Dorado rums.

Certainly taste the chocolate and banana coming through. Very smooth for a £21 bottle.

Tastes like ice cream. Smokey Demerara taste like you’d expect. Kind of dries the inside of your mouth, probably cos it’s not as full of sugar as the older ones. No better or worse than the eight, probably the best value El Dorado, but overall just ok.

It is good neat, not sophisticated , but worth the money
Aged for at least 5 years in bourbon barrels, with notes of dried tropical fruits, caramel, and towards the end we discover aromas of dry coconut and vanilla
Excellent for cocktails

I try it for mixing and sipping and they are both bad! I am not buying this again

I like him neat, although he is a bit lite for a sipper.
As a mixer he is amazing, his buttery profile is shining in cocktails.

Oproti starším El Dorado rumům je o něco víc ostřejší a sušší. Nicméně po pár doušcích mi zachutnal. Aroma vanilky a dubového sudu je velmi příjemné a nevtíravé. Dobře se pije jak samotný tak i s colou.
