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.

New to rum, but the smell of this is amazing. At first I thought it was banana. As Iβm going through the bottle, I am tasting the charred barrel, caramel, even cherry, and other flavors. Taste is good, but the smell is divine. What could be better than this?

Be careful of this little one.... You might empty the bottle faster than expected. Sipped neat, strong alcohol and is mildly unpleasant to start - let it breathe and the alcohol subsides just a little but honestly not enough to be pleasant. Oak and vanilla begin to appear but for me the improvement is to minimal to want to sip this neat. Water softens the initial waft but still not pleasant. Mixed with coke - now this is another match made in heaven. Flavours of oak, vanilla and sugarcane dominate. This is wonderful and I can see it becoming another Mt Gay regular added to the "regulars" list of easy dinking rums. It lacks the additional complexity of the XO but it is a younger sibling. I have scored this an 8 because its just damn wonderful as a mixed rum and my palate clearly resonates with the Bajan and Mt Gay rum style but disappointed with my inability to appreciate it neat which would elevate this to a 9. Highly recommend this to all.
Rum made right. Good for day to day sips neat or a couple drops of water.
This rum is good. Very good. Itβs smooth and easy. My only knock on it is after trying funky Jamaican rums itβs almost too easy to drink. Itβs easily accessible in NC liquor stores which is a huge plus.
Nose is smooth, slightly sweet and vanilla. Palate is strong vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
Great rum, especially as an entry sipper

Zapach: Kwiatowy, Karmel, dΔbina, melasa, rodzynki, migdaΕy
Smak: Delikatnie sΕodki, miodowo, korzenny oraz pieprzny.
Εredni stosunek ceny do jakoΕci. To juΕΌ inny trunek niΕΌ wczeΕniejszy black barrel. Jest wyraΕΊnie mniej aromatyczny oraz czuΔ w nim mniej ukryty alkohol niestety jest ostrzejszy niΕΌ poprzednia wersja.
Ocena 72/100

Recenzie na rumy tejto znaΔky sΓΊ dosΕ₯ pozitΓvne, takΕΎe keΔ lokΓ‘lny predajca ponΓΊkol 30% zΔΎavu, nezavΓ‘hal som. PrvΓ½ testujem Black Barrel, XO zatiaΔΎ ΔakΓ‘ na polici. ZaujΓmavΓ‘ ploskΓ‘ fΔΎaΕ‘a, rum mΓ‘ peknΓΊ oranΕΎovkastΓΊ farbu. VΓ΄Εa je krΓ‘sne mohutnΓ‘, so silne karamelovΓ½m buketom, cΓtiΕ₯ aj med a snΓ‘Δ aj nejakΓ© prezretΓ© ovocie. Napriek vyΕ‘Ε‘ej voltΓ‘ΕΎi (43%) je chuΕ₯ aΕΎ neΔakane jemnΓ‘, drink je suchΕ‘Γ, ako som Δakal, ale nemΓ‘m s tΓ½m problΓ©m, prΓ‘ve naopak. Tu uΕΎ znaΔne dominuje dub mierne podmΓ‘znutΓ½ vanilkou, trochu ho to Ε₯ahΓ‘ k whiskey, no vo veΔΎmi prΓjemnΓ½ch medziach. Paleta tΓ³nov je pomerne ΓΊzka, presne takto mΓ‘m rum rΓ‘d - na niΔ sa nehrΓ‘, ΕΎiadne zbytoΔnΓ© kudrlinky, ΕΎiadneho sprΓ‘vneho rumana nemΓ΄ΕΎe uraziΕ₯. Rating silnΓ½ch 7, minimΓ‘lne pre tΓΊ parΓ‘dnu jemnosΕ₯. Od vyΕ‘Ε‘ieho levelu ho delΓ asi len vyΕ‘Ε‘ia cena (bez zΔΎavy) a moΕΎno nieΔo, ΔΓm by vyboΔoval z radu. Toto bez debaty nie je poslednΓ‘ fΔΎaΕ‘a, ktorΓΊ som obstaral.

Astringent with a strong alcohol bite. Charred wood is quite prominent. Long woody finish.

Mount Gay Black Double Cask is a traditional rum from the island of Barbados.
Itβs a mix of rums from pot stills and old rums distilled in a column still.
The whole is refined in American oak barrels which previously contained bourbon and which were deeply burned in order to allow the wood to reveal its aromas.
The whole process delivers a rum that is both balanced and highly flavored. In the mouth we can smell the vanilla caramel toffee and the woody aromas. It is a very elegant rum!!!
Better than the first Black Barrel.
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."
Full nose packed with dark coffee, candied orange, almonds, dark chocolate...

Pretty pleasant drink with faint smokiness, vanilla and spice. A little overpriced, but still very drinkable
