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.

Ok, this is very good rum, I just prefer the 12-year, which, I am given to believe, is not just a younger version of this, but a different rum. The 15-year offers hints of raisins and dark fruit flavors that (I think) indicate a sherry cask somewhere in its history. Many folks prefer this and good for them, but I find the underlying wine-y flavors less preferable than the more oak-y 12-year version.

The bottle is brown to green, quite broad and short and has a natural cork stopper with a plastic cap. Could be more appealing....
The copper-brown rum has a sweet smell, full of ripe fruits tohether with oak and vanilla. It is very sweet on the palate and the taste is totally balanced, full and pleasent. I really like its strong sweeteness of brown sugar. The taste is mostly of ripe fruits and oak, together with vanilla and leather and has hints of aged plum brandy. It leaves a pleasant aftertaste for a quite long time. El Dorado 15 rum can recommended without any reservation.

This is one of my favorite in my large collection. Don't spend too much money. $40 gets one an excellent sipping rum such as this. With delicious and unique flavor, it's a value. I only enjoy smooth rums.

This rum has an amazing pallet ranging in vanilla, roasted coffee, and honey. It finishes with a licorice, leather, and a deep fruit flavor. When you pop the cork the aroma is sweet with a caramel hint. This will definitely be a keeper to have on deck in my rum line up.

This is a rum easily enjoyed with nothing but a couple of ice cubes. Fantastic value for the quality of the rum.

Voici un rhum à base de mélasse, résidu d'un sucre très aromatique, le sucre Demerara.

Premières impressions, au nez, c'est un rhum très aromatique sur les épices et les fruits. En bouche, il est doux et boisé, on peut ressentir quelques notes fumées. La finale est longue et douce sur le caramel..

Ce rhum est vraiment délicieux. Je le conseille :)

Very good rum with great power but what the hell is this sugar added value?

Too much sugar for me. This demerara deserved better treatment. No sugar would be great !

Very nice mid range rum. Nice dark tones, smooth smell and not too sweet soft taste that does not disappear quickly leaving a warm lasting sensation.
