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.

Wie sein kleiner Bruder, der zwölfjährige, trifft dieser Rum auch nicht mein Geschmack. Der Rum ist mir zu rau, zu scharf und zu würzig. Ich bin davon ausgegangen dass dieser Rum süsser ist, was leider nicht der Fall ist. Sicherlich eine gute Wahl für die Rumgeniesser welche die süssen Rums nicht bevorzugen.
La première chose qu’on remarque c’est son excellente odeur qui donne envie de le gouter tout de suite. En bouche on retrouve les mêmes saveurs que la promesse faite par l’odeur. Délicieux. Il est moins raffiné que le 12 et plus fort aussi mais il est difficile de les mettre en compétition, je dirais plutôt qu’ils sont complémentaire. Il est rare que je boive l’un sans me servir un verre de l’autre aussi. Le final par contre est plus intéressant que le 12 ans.
The first thing you notice is its excellent smell that makes you want to taste it right away. In the mouth we have the same flavors that the smell promised you. It’s delicious. It is less refined than the 12 and stronger but it’s difficult to put them into competition, I would say they are complementary. It is rare that I drink one of them without having a glass of the other one as well. The aftertaste is more interesting and longer with this one.
An excellent oak-flavored rum. Many other nuances as well, but I usually notice the dominant flavor first to catagorize it in my head. I actually have an allergy to oak so it makes for a difficult review. After the oak, there's a buttery smoky flavor, very rich, which makes this a serious sipper. I always taste El Dorado the next day after a few drinks, which detracts from my giving it a "clean" finish. But definitely a top-shelf sipping rum.
Complex with notes of coffee, pepper, chocolate and almonds.
I ordered this rum (cannot get it locally) based on a suggestion and I cannot get enough. It is so rich and so smooth. My gut tells me it is the fact that it is Demerara based. Other dark rums that shoot for this same type of flavor (Zaya 12-year, Diplomatico Reserva) get close but just are not as rich tasting.
I have enjoyed this on its own, as a base in a multi-rum cocktail, and it makes an incredible Daiquiri when using Demerara syrup in place of simple syrup.
I have already seen a lot of comments about this El Dorado 15years and I'm not dissappointed.
With this nice amber color, this El Dorado leaves long legs on your glass. The oak aroma is well present at the beginning but if you leave it breathing few minutes, it will then release all his aromas.
I have really enjoyed it.
This rum i really fine. Not so sweet like Diplomatico Grand Reserva and more character. But Diplomatico together with this El Dorado are excellent choice for everybody who starts with premium rum and also for sipping with friends. This rum you cant make a mistake... Everybody likes it!
A beautiful bottle - a replica bottles worn by plantation owners during their inspections :)
very well balanced with brown sugar, vanilla, dry fruit, apricot. Easy to drink. Not enough complex for me but it is a good indicator of what will be 21 years old Version
Le rhum el dorado 12 est excellent et j avais envie de gouter son grand frere.le premier est plus sucre et semble convenir au plus grand nombre.mais le 15 ans une fois aere 15 minutes revele toute sa complexite.il ressemble un peu a un whisky mais avec plus de douceur.des notes legeres de reglisse une bonne longueur en bouche en font un rhum excellent.En regoutant les 2 je prefere le 15 ans qui est tres doux.note 8.8.
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."

I was very impressed with the aroma of this rum. I especially love the flavour. Thick, heavy and yet smooth. Loved it.
