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.

Starts with quite a dry nose. Good mix of spice and buttery smoothness with a lingering woodsy finish that coats the mouth. Not as buttery as the 20 year, which is a good thing. Seems to be missing a slight complexity that would make this a truly fantastic rum.

I bought this one based on the recommendations of users from this site.

I was pretty disappointed. I don't like Whiskey and I find this one tastes like it. Not sure what part of it does.

I can tell there are a lot of flavors, but the biggest one is that Whiskey like one.

Not for me, too bad especially considering the price.

très équilibrés et très abouti, c'est un rhum de connaisseur qui ne déçois pas!
il a tout pour lui, le nez, le gout, les aromes, et un prix abordable!
il faut l'avoir dans sa cave...

A dark thick liquor with a sweet taste and strong in alcohol. The age really comes through and is a really good drink.

Beautiful color and nose notes, good flavorful body whit a nice aroma and sweetness
A nice rum to have at home when you want the guests to get some good rum.. but you don´t want to serve the best you have in the cabinet

For me it´s not more than an eight, but still a good solid rum!

This rum is something else. I don't consider me a hotshot when it comes to sniffing, tasting and recognizing aromas, but hey, everyone has to start somewhere... so here is my two cents:

A bit of a strong, sweet nose and I think I'm recognizing brown sugar, vanilla and even some chocolate. These are also present in it's taste accompanied by some honey or syrup perhaps...

It's a pretty sweet rum, definitely something else. Sometimes literally as with every other sip you might get the idea you are tasting something else in there...

Jeg kunne bedre lide 12 åringen - det er jeg vist ikke den eneste der siger - men udmærket rom. God fylde og eftersmag

After seeing all the 9 & 10 ratings for this I had high hopes when I plunked down $45 for this. "Whoops there goes another rubber tree". So to me it's not in the same league as Zacapa or Centenario. It's good, somewhat smooth but also harsh. Better with water and a squeeze of lime than straight up. Cognac kind of burn that other, smoother sipping rums don't have.

Tasted this back to back with the 12 and the 21 and by far my least favourite.

Harsher than the 12 and almost a whisky taste. Not what I want from a rum.

Kind of an everyday rum, nothing to discuss and simple joy.
Sometimes I smell a bit of gasolin, but I think thats my nose.
