El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

Detta var en helt otrolig rom. Jag vågar inte ge den den 10:a då detta bara är den andra flaskan jag köpt. Så jag hoppas att den perfekta 10:an finns någonstans därute.

Doft : brunt socker, kaffe, kakao, tropisk frukt ananas kanske?. påminner om en god chokladpralin i doften.
smak : I smaken har du precis allt det där som jag skrev i doften. Men jag hittar även en viss krydda/peppar, detta tycker jag gör att den inte blir för söt.
Denna romen är väldigt tjock och oljig i munnen, ingen alkohol som bränner i slutet.

En flaska av detta är något man alltid borde ha hemma.

Now this is rum! The initial taste is sweet and smooth but it has so much depth as well. It has a thicker mouth feel with only a hint of molasses, honey and oak. I'd put this with the sweeter rums and definitely in my top five so far. Drink it neat or with one or two rocks.

I started my passion for rum with more fruity and spiced stuff and I wanted to see what lays beyond.
So I went to the shop and asked to have a totally different kind of rum, one that might even be enjoyed by a whiskey drinker (my father).
After tasting "El Dorado 15 y." I liked it immediately but then I took a look at the price and had second thoughts. So I asked for a similar rum that is maybe 10 or 12 bucks cheaper... but after tasting that other rum I turned back to the El Dorado and bought it immediately.

Seriously good rum. While I like my Barbados rums, I gave this another try. This was my 2nd choice when my plantation 20th anniversary was sold out. I didn’t expect to get more of what I like the plantation for. This is more dark, sweet and complex, and I like it too.

With El Dorado 15-Year Special Reserve we enter the world of great rum.

Fresh and balanced nose with fruits like banana and plum combined with wooden flavors. Alcohol. Quite a powerful mouth with lemon zest and long finish.

After the 12 it was logic to try the 15 version of this great rum enterprise called El Dorado. I expected more and I got more. Starts with a sweet kick, maybe a bit to much but followed by a nice burn and cognac/oaky finish. A very well balanced rum wich makes you eager to try the 21 edition. Will that be my first 10 out of 10????

Great aroma, full body taste, best served on the rocks.

Qu'elle découverte cette maison "el dorado" je connaissais de nom, mais jamais goûté réellement, mais problème réglé et waaaaaaaaw waaaw un plaisir, un régal, des saveurs explosive et délicieuse, un retour qui perdure, ne jamais avoir d'hésitation sur ce rhum ou cette maison, vous ne serez pas décus

Lush, rich, complex, delicious. On the sweet side with dried fruit, brown sugar, chocolate, oranges, oak, some spiciness and much much more... This should appeal to everybody, there is no harshness, just pure pleasure.
EDIT: To reach this level of softness, El Dorado have added a record-setting 35g of sugar per litre. Will need a long time to figure out how I feel about this.

Dufter en smule mere af træ end lillebroderen. Ellers meget lig med i duften. Citrus og sød pibetobak.
Selve smagen er slet ikke den samme. Den er sød men ikke lige så sød som 12'eren. Der gemmer sig et snert af vanilje og lakrids. Balancen er perfekt og der gemmer sig en lang behagelig eftersmag af fad og en smule brændt. Den ekstra smule alkohol klæder den uden at den bliver sprittet
