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.

ElD from the standard range.
The composition of the aromas is very good, it is rich and sweet.
You can taste the MDXC (Demerare column still), Enmore and Port Mourant still here.
It's very good for the price. Diamond rum with this sweetness... exceptionaly good.
It offers something of everything. It's a little bit dry and heavy and spicy and sweet and fruity.
I like the 43% abv in this rum, it gives him a strong character.
I like especially the honey notes with molasses.

thedanzadude review on reddit:
"The El Dorado 15 is blended from rums that are distilled in the Enmore and Diamond Coffey stills, the Port Mourant double wooden pot still and the Versailles single wooden pot still.
It is then aged in charred oak casks that formerly housed bourbon. The Enmore and Diamond Coffey stills tend to produce rums that are medium bodied and very fruity, while the Port Mourant double and Versailles single wooden pot stills produce very heavy bodied rums that are very rich and aromatic. As a result of the masterful blending of these disparate rum styles, the El Dorado 15 that is the finally produced is very much like a dry, fruity rum and a sweet, complex, heavy rum that have been well married."
