El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

JI
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.

much more "oaky", however the 21 year old is still much better in direct comparation.

I didn't like the first time i opened the bottle. I descided to give it another try and it's growing on me. I'll rate it 7 and might up it to 8 later. The taste is too'whiskey' like. I like sweeter rums, and it's a bit to dry for me, but the more i drink it with a cigar the more i like it. I can see why people like it, just not my thing (yet)

This rum is really a complex and contradictory one: quite different compared to 12 yo, still a lot of added sugar (~35 g/l), same defect of sugar in the end of the bottle. Flavours of dried fruits, nuts, prune, orange peel, an harsh afterburn that reminds a notorious single malt whisky, with this particular note that is prominent and drier and less sweet and smooth than 12 yo. Good choice overall.

A very solid sipping rum, another staple in my cabinet. I smell chocolate, toffee and vanilla with hints of tobacco.

The rum is rich in the mouth but not very complex. It has a satisfying sweetness that seems to intensify with a dash of ice. A very solid rum and recommended.

Dark gold, almost coppery. Quite a fresh, leafy-fruity nose. Really syrupy mouthfeel, but quite drying. Fiery finish.

Eines der besten Preis-Leistungs Verhältnisse im Markt. Super Basic Rum.

Nose is sweet and licorice with cherry and molasses.
Lots of fruit and sweet on the tongue with cherry, vanilla, citrus, licorice and brown sugar.
Finishes smooth sweet then with a slight touch of dry.
This smells and tastes like a rum old fashioned.
I like this so much that I want to give this an 8, but it is a bit too sweet and lacks the depth of a 15 year old. Still a very good sipper.

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year Rum er helt klart en af mine favoritter, det bliver en rom jeg må have i min beholdning altid. En udsøgt rom med passende sødme.

Good nose, dark colour.
A very flavourful rum. Molasses, oak and lime. Quite sweet.
A little overbearing but very agreeable.
