El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

YU
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.

Heerlijk om rustig te drinken en nog betaalbaar ook. Lekker zacht, zoet en toch alle diepere smaken.

I like the bottle and of course what's inside, it is an excellent rum with complexity and character. It's one of the best I have had and I really recommend this rum to everybody who likes rum.
On the nose after opening the bottle you can smell strong alcoholic note, but its fades very quickly and turns to vanilla, spiciness and oakiness. But it domain is the fruity sweetness and then you can smell cacao, coconut and marzipan aroma.
On the palate it is spicy with fruit sweetness and spiciness and oak from the cask.
The finish is middle long with spice and oak, but very pleasant.
Overall this rum well balanced pleasant to smell and sip. This is a very good buy for beginners and also for experienced rum drinkers. Really worth the money and I personally love it.

Denne er El Dorados mest vindende rom, syntes den virker mere sød som 12eren og mere afrundet. Er blevet en af favoritterne.

Vanilje, lakrids, tobak, farin

El dorado 12 is good, but this is awesome.
It start with ripe fruits and honey in the nose.
Taste is round and oaky. Finish is long sweet & spicy.
Splash of water helps develop overall impression.

Un rom cu multa aromă si gust care încântă plăcut simțurile. Alcoolul se simte foarte putin. Culoarea de chihlimbar este pusa in valoare de paharele concepute special pentru acest tip de rom. Sticla si paharele vin în aceeași cutie.

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.

80 proof, no ice sip test
I am comparing this to the excellent ED 12.
Where the ED 12 had a medium smoke nose, this one has a darker smoke nose.
Smoothness is same as ED 12, very nice, no after bite, no bitterness.
ED 15 has a more robust, darker taste in mouth than the ED 12, and the darker aftertaste lingers.
Empty in-glass nose continues for hours after the alcohol evaporates.
Really excellent demerara rum.
Buying the ED 21 next month, hoping to give it an honest 10 rating...

You start with El Dorado 5, then 8, then 12 - which is great... then comes 15 and simply there is much more. A lot of various tastes, a little less sweet than the 12-year.

Had just one glass, bottle is on the way to my bar, so will taste more and then share ;)

A great rum for the price!

I've waited a while to be able to find this wonderful rum. It lives up to its reputation.
It has a nice nose, maybe not as wide as some such as Zacapa or Diplomatic Reserva Exclusiva. Dark fruit, spice and vanilla are all there. The palate is an unbelievable taste experience. The dark fruit of raisins, prunes and toffee dominate the profile. I noticed right away that this lives up to the hype of being sweet, it is! To those that say Diplomatico is sweeter, not to my mouth. This is the sweetest rum, not including flavored, that I have ever had. The finish is great, you get a bit of the fruit, some banana, and no burn. Finish sticks around a bit as does the flavor. There is a wonderful after taste of fruit and a bit of what others have described as funk. I don't think it's so much as a funk as almost copper. Part of the distilling process or the cask finish. Either way, fantastic rum that is dangerous. I can straight drink this, not just sip this! Be responsible.

barva - tmavě červená
vůně - taková ostřejší, dubová a květnatě navoněná (připomíná mně to těžkou vůni muškátů), ovšem sladkost je samožřejmě cítit - vanilka, trošku bourbonová parfém-vůně, rozinky, hořká čokoláda, koření
chuť - v chuti ze začátku sladké, později přechází do takové nakyslosti - ovocnější a méně likérové - kávový dezert, vanilka, nastupující pomeranče, limetky, máta
dozvuk - čokoládový dort, sušené tmavé ovoce, sladká dřevitost a troška skořice
hodnocení - výborná záležitost, vyzrálý rum s výraznými ovocnými chutěmi a velice zajímavou vůní
