El Dorado 2009 Port Mourant Cask Strength Single Still 12-Year

Extremely good demerara rum here. The port mourant gives it an added depth and complexity, a bit of grassiness, that accentuates the molasses, dark fruit, etc flavors. Very well balanced.

I wish to have every rum 50+°. 40°? - the rubbish. So welcome El Dorado cask strength, single cask, still pot, almost 57°.

Absolutely seductive on the nose, just a bit of spirit, then fruity, licorice aroma.

Silky smooth, oily, tart, rich, funky, expressive. Detected: dark chocolate, prunes, dates, wood, touch of tobacco. I guess everything you would wish to get is in place in there.

Little burn straight at 57°, but there is close to nothing in 10min of breathing.

Virtually infinit aftertaste.

Definitely, one of the best from 180+ sorts I've tried.

Thanks Eldo Радость!

Edit: according to Canadian "scientists" it's 55.6°
