El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

Le nez est de bonne intensité, sur des notes de bois, de mélasse, de caramel, des épices douces rappelant la cannelle, le girofle et la muscade, joli côté balsamique, puis d'abricots macérés qui transcende l'alcool. Très bel équilibre olfactif
La bouche est plutôt puissante sans être brûlante, de bonne allonge, plutôt sucrée mais en équilibre, qui perdure sur des notes épicées, fruitées et balsamiques.
À déguster lentement, straight et en toute occasion.

I really like this rum for the simple fact it has the balance, body and complexity I'm after without being overpowered by the sweetness. This and rumbullion (which I'm yet to try) are next on my purchase list. Prefer it to the 12 year. Which is lighter and sweeter

Prodotto molto equilibrato, ottimo per la degustazione!

Tobacco, Melasse and Spices all impressions mixed together in a happy blend! This is a very good rum, because of the low price tag this gets an 8 easy!

It's tasty rum but with 9 spoons of added sugar per liter (that's 7 per bottle), I cannot take this stuff seriously. Come on, El Dorado, cut the crap.

Picked up a bottle of El Dorado 12 yr. Old today (15 Bonus Air Miles) at my local NLC store at a price of $34.36 Cdn. I already owned a bottle of El Dorado 15 year old I'd picked up a while back that quite impressed me. I had read a review if the 12 that suggested it was even better than the 15 and given the price difference ($52.43) I thought I'd give it a try. I compared them both neat and on ice also having my wife do a blind tastes test both ways. We both agreed that the 15 was the much smoother. The 12 had a harshness that the 15 lacked. That being said, they are both very nice rums. The 12 had a much stronger nose and was easier to drink as the ice melted in the glass. The 15 was much nicer neat and smooth on the palate. Only wish I had made a comparison to my Kirk and Sweeney and even Captain Morgan Private Stock. Another night another tasting. Full review after that happens.

This is a wonderfully demerara rum, dark brown and sweet with excellent aftertaste.
.can be drunk straight or with ice and fresh lime. I have tried the range up to 21 y/o
And this trumps them all,

I like to ler the rum rest in the glass a few minutes then the nose and taste is great

I normally limit rum to put in a Coke Zero and usually do not drink rum by itself but this one is a rare exception. Yes, it works extremely well in Coke Zero but also is delicious straight. Quite smooth. Some people consider it too sweet but I don't get an overabundance of such. I detect a bit of sweetness and good warmth when sipped. Definitely one to enjoy in cola, as a mixer and on the rocks. Extremely versatile. I'm no expert but I know what I like and this one definitely is high on my list.

Un rhum à avoir, assez facile d'accès, tres qualitatif vu le prix.
Du fruit exotique, des épices, sucré mais pas trop
