had this rum recently

Guyana | Aged | 43% ABV

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year rum is crafted from 15 to 25 year old rums that are then blended and married together in bourbon oak casks. Prior to blending the original batches are distilled using 4 unique stills - the Enmore and Diamond Coffey stills, the Port Mourant double wooden pot still, and the Versailles single wooden pot still.

The bottle of El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year was inspired by the the old hand-blown flasks used by sugar planters on the banks of the Demerara river.

Beautiful carribean style bottle.

Nice nose. Of Caramel, spiced appe pie, vanilla.

Great thick oily palate. Vanilla caramel, allspice and a silky finish with lingering warm spices.

This is really good rum to either mix with cola or sip it. The price is why i rated it an 8 and not a 10. I try to look at all the aspects of the rum when i rate them

I found this one quite harsh, with a strong bite of alcohol. Not the kind of rum I like.

Fabulous 15-year representation with just the right balance of classic rum sweetness with long smooth finish. Love the bottle presentation. Easily worth the price premium over the 12yr (which I rated 7/10) but don't sleep on its 5yr old baby brother! Currently eyeing a bottle of the El Dorado 21-year to splurge or celebrate a special occasion.

This is not my preferred rum. It starts good with flavour but after just a second or two it gives me much to much hair on my chest. Im finding my sweet spot when it comes to rum somewhere in the middle between this and Diplomatico reserva exclusiva.

Great rum. It does not have anything that would distract you. Definitely enjoyed this one.

Well i love this rum. nice bottle and a nice label, but to be honest it tastes the same as the 8 and the 12 year olds. Still an excellent rum and im glad that i bought it but

This is the best sipper rum I’ve tested yet, on this range of price it’s my favorite, Diplomatico Réserva Exclusiva used to be 1st place, now El dorado 15 is exactly how I like my rum, a little sweet, explosive flavors, great smell, oh, after the first glass I ordered another one.

I have tested El Dorado 8yrs and 12yrs. Both won’t be on my shopping list again, ED15 is a really great tasting rum.

Give it a try, you won’t regret it !

My second sipper rum after Diplomatico RE, I instantly found this one drier, more complex, and slightly more challenging given its pleasant burn. My favorite part of this rum is the nose—toasted nuts, roasted coffee, and dark brown sugar. Pro tip: revisit the empty glass a couple hours after finishing for an indulgent olfactory treat. The taste is equally luscious and rich, with walnuts, vanilla, caramel, and a large hit of woody oak. At times, I find the dry oak burn a bit much if I’m not ready for it. There’s no mistaking this is barrel-aged rum. My preferred sipper of choice—a balance of indulgence with a hint of challenge. I plan on trying it in the occasional cocktail as well.

This rum is full of flavor and very balanced. A bit of oak but not more than expected. A bit of dark chocolate and a bit sweet from the added sugar.
