El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year rum

El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

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.

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.

Exceptional flavour, however I found the 12 yo more convincing.

Has a vanilla and woody scent and taste.

Nice sipper but not really my thing

the big brother of the 12Y, more refined with a touch of spiciness

7:The nose is largely roasted, so much so that you can almost guess the powdery side of coffee grounds. The rum's core is relatively light, as evidenced by the fruit candy notes that begin to pass between the toasted oak fibers.
With aeration, the profile remains relatively taut, with ethereal flights that seem to clean the surface of the barrel. They carry with them notes of varnish, toasted wood and flame-roasted nuts.
7,5:On the palate, the first impression is of a rather fluid attack. It's like a rum with a toasty woodiness and a slightly diluted maple syrup. The mid-palate then takes us to the heart of the Demerara style, albeit with a great deal of restraint. Toasted, caramelized nuts, ripe exotic fruit, sweet spices and a slightly mineral, powdery edge are all present, again with nuances.
7,5:The finish is slightly sweet, gently spicy, with the rum fading rather quickly from the palate.
Run with a bit lack of smoothiness and roundedness. Otherwise everyday sipper. Nice, but not top.Nose 7, a bit repressed, on palate 7,5, it opens, but it is more agressive than 12 y which is more elegant, 7,5 on finish.

RO: un rom dulce cu gust ca o salata de fructe caramel si vanilie dar cu o concentratie de alcool usor marita fata de cel de 12 ani ca sa contrabalanseze dulceata . ceva condimente si un postgust de zahar ars .

in afara de alcoolul mai mare nu ii gasesc calitati peste cel de 12 ani pe care il prefer

EN: a sweet rum with a taste like a caramel and vanilla fruit salad but with a slightly higher alcohol concentration compared to the 12-year-old to counterbalance the sweetness. some spices and an aftertaste of burnt sugar.

apart from the higher alcohol, I don't find any qualities above the 12 year old that I prefer

Аромат - коричневий цукор, легкий дим, трохи тропічного ананасу.
Смак - тросниковий цукор, персик, абрикос.
Фініш - солодкий, фруктовий, трохи дубу.

I just recently got into rums, but I got a recommendation to try El Dorado since I was a fan of Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. This is by far, my favorite I've tried out of everything. It is incredibly smooth and easy to drink, very little alcohol burn and very sweet. I know the sweetness will put some people off, but if you do enjoy sweeter rums, this is a must try.

Jó rum, ajánlom mindenkinek, aki egy jó rumot inna. (elég "gyümölcsös" rum)

The taste is too sweet for me. I found the 12 years ols one more balanced. The 15 years old is also a good rum, but not my kind.
