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.

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.

apparently this rum has undergone a formula adjustment and the older reviews are for a product with more added sugar (which I may have actually liked better but never tasted). With less sugar, this has a slightly bitter taste to it which I have been informed is due to the old stills that are used in its production. At first I was put off by the bitterness, but over the course of finishing off the bottle slowly I got more accustomed to it. This seems to be a very highly regarded rum, but to me it wasn't anything special, so I wonder if its high regards were based on the older formula that was more sweet.

This is about as good as it can get at this price point.

Good quality Rhum and good value for money.
Just think they could do an effort on the packaging.
