El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

One of my favorite rums . Money well spent mmmmmmmm

This is very high-quality tasting stuff, although it tastes more like a whisky than a rum, which makes sense because it's been aged in bourbon oak. You do get some of the rum sweetness in the aftertaste, but it's overpowered by the initial whisky/bourbon taste.

Good Rum If you like the sweet ones.
Caramel, vanilla, flower.
Perfect on the Rocks.

This is a really yummy sipping rum. A bit sweet but with awesome vanilla, butterscotch and banana aromas. I like this when I want a little "dessert".

One of my all time favorites. This rum is so flavorful and smooth. I was amazed how it makes the 12 year look like a mixing rum if you are to compare them.

Dark caramel and some fruit on the nose...Rich palate with vanilla, coffee, and brown sugar. Sweet but very pleasant.

Based on the reviews I recently purchased at bottle of the El Dorado 15 and all I can say is ...... bleh! It is very astringent.. little on the nose and a very sharp finish.. am currently tasting it against a Diplomatico Reserva.. £ 20 cheaper and there is no comparison... very disappointing

Yes, I know El Dorado "doses" their rums. I'm not normally a fan of overly sweet rum, but I have a soft spot for El Dorado. For a long time, El Dorado 3 Year was the standard "mixing" rum in my cocktail cabinet. I received the 12 year as a gift a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I bought a bottle of El Dorado 15 when it was on sale and I was pleasantly surprised.

Nose: brown sugar, molasses, coffee, a bit of orange
Palate: rich (because of the dosing?), tobacco, caramel, oak, espresso, vanilla
Finish: medium length, with a nice mix of sweetness (caramel and vanilla) and bitterness (espresso and dark chocolate).

Nice full flavour of raisins, quite sweet initially with quite a long warmth. Pretty nice, but not as good as you'd expect for the price
