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.

Deep amber, mahoganey in color. medium legs that slowly drop. Nose is fruitcake & tobacco with a hint of charred oak. taste is orange peel and spice with a nice finish that includes a little leathery tobacco note. This was the rum that "hooked" me and the rum that all others will forever be forced to live up to.

After tasting 12y old El Dorado, I was just eager to try more pricey but stronger and older one. They must be similar. Well, they don't.
Seriously, I would not be able to distinguish from some fancy cognac brandy. Really excellent.
On the nose strong and sharp alcohol, later fruity and oaky scent . The taste is really surprise. Not traditional rum with sugar cane taste, not at all. Medium fruity sweetness with very long gently dry and oaky finish. I would say, the taste is very close to e.g. Hennessy VSOP. While it is not exactly what I am looking for in rum, it is definitely exceptional spirit for exceptional moment
As a Trini I must say this is some good stuff smooth too

Nose is orange peel to me. I get wood up front finishing with vanilla and sugar.

Great rum, but for the price I expected it to exceed the flavor of 12 year and it did not

sophisticated rum with notes of caramel, oak, and dried fruits. Velvety texture, long finish.

To me it has a one note type taste. I like to add it to TIKI drinks to add richness. 1 oz of this with other rums.

I haven’t tried so many rums but so far I prefer the British style and this rum amplifies my taste so far. I can taste orange and plums but also some pepper.

This was a nice surprise, although I initially liked it less than I would have otherwise - it was the 6th rum I tried in one sitting. It was sweet and somewhat funky on the nose. This has also translated into the taste - a pleasently sweet sipper with some funk to it. Quite interesting and memorable.

I have to agree with others - for this style of rum, it's hard to beat this for quality or value. If I had to choose only 1 rum to drink all year, it would probably be Centenario 25 - but if I'm paying, it would be this.

This rum is slightly different from the 12 Year old, but it does not add much other than some more imparted oak. For the difference in price ~$20 more for the 15 year old, it is not worth it. The 21 Year old is a lot pricier, but a great rum.
