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.

apparently this rum has undergone a formula adjustment and the older reviews are for a product with more added sugar (which I may have actually liked better but never tasted). With less sugar, this has a slightly bitter taste to it which I have been informed is due to the old stills that are used in its production. At first I was put off by the bitterness, but over the course of finishing off the bottle slowly I got more accustomed to it. This seems to be a very highly regarded rum, but to me it wasn't anything special, so I wonder if its high regards were based on the older formula that was more sweet.
This rum got me, I tried the 12y version and I couldn't finish it. Then I added a few crowns for the 15y version and I definitely like it better. I bought 3 bottles, but the last one I don't like so much, maybe a bad batch.
Update: After half a year I tried another bottle and again I don't like it. I will never buy it again, they spoiled it.
Tento rum mne dostal, zkusil jsem verzi 12y a nemohl jsem to dopít. Pak jsem přidal pár korun za verzi 15y a chutná mi určitě víc. Koupil jsem 3 láhve, ale ta poslední mi vůbec nechutná, možná špatná šarže, nevím, jestli budu riskovat další...
Po půl roce jsem zkusil čtvrtou láhev a opět mi nechutná. Už ho nikdy nekoupím, zkazili ho.
El Dorado 15YO mi prekvapivo chutilo o čosi menej ako El Dorado 12YO. Má síce pekné tóny horkej čokolády,náznak kávy,ale neprišiel mi tak lahodný a hladký ako jeho mladší brat. Každopádne chutný rum,ktorý stojí za ochutnanie.
Good rum, but you can find better in that price range. Lots of spices.
a good rum nothing special just good rum from El dorado
I not found big different from El Dorado 12. Just little bit smoother. I thing is more better rums for that price.
After tasting 12yo I tries this one. But it is sharp and not very good. After letting it breath it is better, but still...
Full nose packed with dark coffee, candied orange, almonds, dark chocolate...
"El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year rum review by Mike at Ultimate Rum Guide"
Has more oak and chocolate notes.
"It is initially very sweet, apples, bananas and rum soaked raisins but there are also some bittersweet plum like notes. The finish is spicy and fruity and long lasting."

This is a really solid choice and a good value, especially now that the added sugar content has been lowered (or possibly removed), but even though this is thicker, deeper and more robust than the 12, it's not as solid a value as it is slightly less sweet and interesting. For $15-20 less the 12 might be the better choice. N: deep sugary molasses, thick, solid. T/F: sweet but not too much so, deeper, thick again on the finish, mid spicy, with some oakiness.
