El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

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...

I purchased this on the recommendation of a friend. He knows my taste in rum, and promised I would like it. I do, very much! I drink my rums straight, no ice, no mixing. This rum has a nice little bite to it, not too sweet, warm and pleasant, with a long lingering taste. Very, very nice.

Oui il a de la qualité c'est un rhum intéressant. Moins bon que le 12 mais plus caputeux loin des rhums que j'ai noté 8 et 9.

Well balanced, fairly smooth, and easy to drink overall, I'm just not getting as much of the complex flavors that are given in the product descriptor. Also seemed a bit too watery. I wouldn't say no if somebody offered it to me in the future, but it's not likely to be one of my go-tos.

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

Dejligt at nyde den i godt selskab
Den er dejlig sød og giver en god varme og fantastisk efter smag

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)

A good nose with a hint of vanilla.
A taste of red fruit imo, sweet but not too much and the warm feeling will last long, great rum.

Går mot romrussinhållet men blir för bara spritig i inledningen, eftersmaken hämtar dock upp det hela lite med bra längd och romrussintoner.
