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.

Foreground sweet notes of the 12 are reduced and a smokier more complex set of flavours come forward, with liquorice and tobacco.

odeur douce agrΓ©able tirant sur la vanille, le bois
en bouche assez sec, très léger gout de vanille puis viens le gout de fut, de bois, presque cuir, rhum complexe et puissant qui demande d'avoir un peu d'expérience pour l'apprécier.

I had previously shared a bottle of El Dorado 21 with friends at the cigar lounge and we all felt that was a "10" rated rum. Picked up a bottle of the 15 year and I felt it had a very strong medicine afterburn to it. Didn't taste any of the black cherry I got with the 21. Adding a small amount of water made it a little better for me.

El Dorado is not my favorite rum. I find the 12 year is smoother (12 year still has a bite!) than the 15 year.

This has a special place in my heart. A bar man showed me this and said this is what he calls a smooth rum. It is smooth complex and tasty.

After his suggestion I went to the shop and brought a bottle. This is a rum to show your mates who are new to sipping rums what a quality one is.

This rum started my journey. I'll have a glass tonight now I think as it brings back happy memories.

This is easily on of my favorite rums. Great flavor. Great sipping rum and I only share it with other rum lovers.

Not as smooth as you might expect from a 15 but great rounded demerara flavour

El Dorado family is in a kind of its own, and the whole line up should be tried back to back. 15 is a very decent rum with a very balanced taste, but still keeping a family's signature aftertaste.

I have to admit I was wanting a little more from this, but it is a solid sipper.
