El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

the big brother of the 12Y, more refined with a touch of spiciness

Un excellent rum. La longueur en bouche est superbe.

Nose is orange peel to me. I get wood up front finishing with vanilla and sugar.

After seeing all the 9 & 10 ratings for this I had high hopes when I plunked down $45 for this. "Whoops there goes another rubber tree". So to me it's not in the same league as Zacapa or Centenario. It's good, somewhat smooth but also harsh. Better with water and a squeeze of lime than straight up. Cognac kind of burn that other, smoother sipping rums don't have.

Nice, but not great. I was expecting so much more. The plantation 20 year is still my favorite.

I like this rum as much as the 12 year version. I just think it has a little more bite to it.

While I recognize this is a solid run, I don’t care for the flavor profile. It’s a little chemically or medicinal finish to me. It may be the Jamaican style I don’t care for. It reminds me a little of the way a peaty scotch finished. I prefer bourbon and American / Canadian whiskey to peaty scotch, so that probably explains it. It’s not the age either I don’t think since I prefer the El Dorado 12 to the 15 or 21.

Helt okej, tycker eldorado 12 är deras bästa. Blir sämre ju äldre och exklusiva de är.

My expectations due to reviews and my friends recommendations were high, but I think this rum is nothing special. Smooth taste, but bit alcohol. I must give it a second chance. Despite my feelings, it is not bad rum - the popularity is high, so you must give it a try.

dette er bare en god rom og fin lige at smage sammen med 12eren
