YU
had this rum recently

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.

Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.

People usually compare it to the 12-year old and I think that's a mistake. They are really different rums and while this *can* be considered an *upgrade*, it *shouldn't*. Both share some characteristics, all right. However undoubtedly this is a more mature product in every way and something with different taste. And it is really easy to have and enjoy both, depending on what you are after in this particular evening.

It is a little bit dissapointing ....it tastes same as 12-Year version, but for the price about 35 EURo, it is perfect rum. Price/quality ratio is high.

Personally I find the 12yr old to be better than the 15yr. Not worth the extra dollars.

A beautiful full rum with nice wood tones and a little vanilla.

Tyckte mest den smakade sprit och inget annat, är den verkligen så bra som folk säger?

Dlouho jsem se dostával k tomuto rumu než na j došlo. V přímém porovnání je to jemnější a chutnější 12. :) Schválně jsem chtěl přímé porovnání, neb cenový rozdíl není velký. EL Dorado 12 mi dost chutná a považuji jej za etalon mezi podobnými rumy. Dnes jsem konečně měl možnost porovnat nejen tyto dva, ale i El Dorado 21. U 15 cítím daleko méně vůně než u 12 a první doušek mne malinko zaskočil množstvím lihu v chuti. což byl nejspíše ještě vjem vůně ze skleničky. Poté přišla sametově jemná typická sladkost. Musel jsem se napít znovu. Rum je výborný a mohu jej doporučit, nicméně 12 zůstává v srci. ;-)
