El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

If you wanna taste rum from El Dorado. Then you should start with this one!

Musím bohužel říct, že narozdíl od El Dorado 12yo, který patří k mým nejoblíbenějším, mě 15yo příliš nenadchnul. Jeho bohatou ovocnou chuť zabíjí silný lihový ocas. Komu to nevadí, bude se mu 15yo líbit. Já zůstanu u 12yo.

Discovered during a tasting, felt in love instantly. Then only could buy a 12y which is good but not as good as the 15y.

Big nose of candied fruit and Christmas cake. Slightly better than the 12 year old El Dorado, if you prefer more of the fruit forward profile.

If you like the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva then this the next step

No complaints typical Guyana Demura rum very smooth and full bodied. Not sure it’s worth the $20 premium over the 12 year that I prefer and rate the same.

Rum smells very nice. unfortunately for me in the end it also has a strong odor of alcohol.
the taste is pronounced, I would say woody and with a hint of cognac. for people who don't mind strong alcohol, make no mistake.
but for me it is much tastier and I will enjoy it more with a rock of ice, or make it rest for a while.
then it stands out more and Is not so harsh.

Au nez, senteurs de café noir, orange confite, chocolat noir et vanille.
Le palais magnifiquement rond avec énormément de saveurs : fruit tropicaux grillés avec des épices douces.
La finale est soyeuse et moyennement corsée.

Awesome. Almost too much to handle. Worth the price for a special occasion.

The El Dorado 15-year old is a clear favorite among the regular El Dorados. It has a deep spicy dark caramel flavour and is both more balanced and more complex than the others. A very good rum!
