El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

Un rum tra i più appetibili sul mercato tra i VERI 15 anni, ad un prezzo più che conveniente.
discreta aggiunta di zucchero, colore scuro e profumi inebrianti. Buon corpo e liquorosità

Profumo: Melassa,toffe, vaniglia e caramello e un finale liquoroso e corposo.
Sapore: Si sente molto il sapore di Melassa, per poi passare ai più complessi sentori di vaniglia, caramello e toffee. Un finale di caffé e cioccolato abbastanza pronunciati dove un leggero legno compare a chiudere il tutto.
Abbastanza liquoroso e molto avvolgente nel sapore e nei profumi. Moderata la persistenza alcolica e nessuna acidità.

Prezzo/qualità: a 35€ su Amazon durante i black friday è un TOP buy per chi cerca un rum prezioso e soddisfacente, da bere anche ogni volta che se ne ha voglia, senza parsimonia. Sopratutto un vero Rum 15 anni, anzi che spesso è ottenuto mixando rum anche più vecchi.
Da solo, in compagnia, ma purché in "sipping" a MAI mixato.
Un rum di eccellente livello ad un prezzo incredibile per le sue qualità, un top da tenere in cantinetta senza badare alle quantità, perché vola via in un attimo. E' stato il mio primo rum con il quale avventurarmi nel modno della bevanda dei corsari, e che inizio!
Fortunatamente entrato ormai da tempe nelle disponibilità Amazon spesso ad un prezzo REGALO.

Now this is tricky, coz somehow I have enjoyed 12yo more, I now this is one is less sweet so should have been better, but 12yo with its sweet but complex taste is destroying competition of other sugar rums within its price range, and on the other side this 15yo is very good but it could have done better for this extra money that you have to spend, and I'm afraid that there are better alternatives.

Final verdict: I will choose 12yo over this one

one of my favourite rum, i've never tried 21 years but if this is 15 years i can't wait!!!

Not a bad choice. But there are so many better ones around. El Dorado are artificially sweetened btw

Very good rum, beter than 12 yo.

15 year aged dark rum that we enjoy the rich brown sugar and dark juices aromas. Sipping slowly to take in the smoothness is the secret to an enjoyable post prandial delight

Tento rum spĺňa všetky kritériá. Málo chýbalo do plného počtu. Výborný.

When compared to the 12 & 21 yr, this was my least favorite by far. Boozy and harsh, IMO.

This rum is brilliant. Good enough to sip and enjoy, or to bring a special touch to cocktails. I compare rums to it. lovely drop.

I can say nothing specifically about the rum that has not been said. I agree wholly that its ubiquitous availability and reasonable (less and less so unfortunately) price point make it a planet in the rum universe. Fantastic as a misty day neat sipper or a put on the slippers and watch Better Call Saul with a slow one. But...put it in a Mai Tai!? You say sacrilege, I say maybe, but the ElDo 15-yr, Smith & Cross Navy Strength and Clément Créole Shrubb, Mai Tai is crushing the charts right now. Fresh squeezed limes, homemade almond syrup and you are off. Decadent? Yes! Worth it. Yes!

Vraiment une valeur sûre. Un très bon rapport qualité prix. Une belle couleur foncée, un corps riche, un gout soyeux et très long. Pour moi, la principale caractéristique de ce rhum est la profonde odeur de banane, comme si il était dégusté au cœur de la plantation !

A trully safe value. A very good value for money. A beautiful dark color, a rich body, a silky and very long taste. For me, the main characteristic of this rum is the deep banana smell, as if it were tasted in the heart of the plantation!

O chlup lepsi nez 12 lety, ale rozdil neni az tak veliky.

Starsi brat 12 rocnej verzie. Povedal by som, ze je mu dost podobny. Vona je podobna sladkasta, za melasou a hrozienkami, pri 15 rocnej verzii sa este pridava trochu drevitosti v chuti. Je to rum s vyraznou chutou a vonou, takto ma podla mna chutit pravy tmavy trstinovy rum. V cene 36€ je to dobra volba pre milovnikov sladsich rumov. Aby som nezabudol, obsah alkoholu je tu 42%, je to aj citit v chuti, ale nieje to rusive...

Excellent sipping rum. Brown sugar is the key flavor that I pick up. Little to no burn at the end. Highly recommended

At the moment, this Rum just feels to have everything i like. Smooth but still has a punch to it, sweet but no too sweet and a great cocktail of aroma. A few drops in a big cognac glass and will bring you directly to the Carribean sea.

I prefer sweeter rums, but this is a nice change. It's sharp a little and quite tasty.

Eccellente, strutturato. Gran rum da degustazione. Vero demerara

This rum is nice the drink by itself no mixers. It has a sugary taste and great aroma. The color is a nice dark colored. There is no bitterness to the taste and goes down nice. I was very happy to see them sell it here in Florida. Most of the people I share it with loves it.

De el dorado-rums vind ik allen lekker im drinken. De 15 year is uiteraard een groter genot om drinken dan de 12 year. Een niet te complexe rum en aan te raden aan velen.

Tastes slightly smoky, hints of tobacco and barrique.
Tasted this one as part of a rum tasting event, would need a few sips more for a more detailed comment.

Icious sipper. Classic aged Guayanan profile, not sweet but a brief fire at first and smooth the rest of the way down. Very enjoyable!

Its sweet but not as much as a elixir. Never tried anything with that barely noticeable alcohol presence. Stunning. You have to be carefull to not drink the bottle at once. Fruity, sweety, balanced, mild. Pure sipping pleasure.

Matured in bourbon barrels.

Taste of:
Caramel, Vanilla, Dry prune, Dark Chocolate, Smoke, Bourbon Cask...

Outstanding Rum, the Best of the 12-15-21 El Dorado Serie.....

Very tasteful. Good aroma's and not to much of a bite
