Created on the banks of Demerara, our smooth and uniquely complex El Dorado aged rums represent over 300 years of Caribbean rum crafting. However as I have continued to work my way through the bottle I have grown disappointed with it's rude rough fiery notes. If you continue without changing your cookies settings, we’ll assume you’re happy with the use of all cookies on our site.Es duftet mild, süss, nach Rumkugel mit leichter Vanille, ein wenig fruchtig und würzig und überhaupt nicht spritig. Only marginally better than the 12 year old version, so I tend to reserve this for special occasions. El Dorado exists to create deeper, more richly crafted rum experiences for drinkers to explore and savour longer.

This was rated the best rum in the world at the International Wine and Spirit Competition four years running, and for good reason. Laid down in oak barrels for at least 12 years, this rum has been blended to perfection using a combination of the Enmore and Diamond Coffey Stills, and the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still.On those nose you’ll find the flavours of tropical fruit and warm spices, with hints of honey and an undertone of dark sugar, giving you a mellow and well-rounded profile with a delightful dry finish. Savour it neat or on the rocks, and let its rich, harmonious flavours transport you to the heart of the Caribbean. By 1780, there were over 300 distilleries producing their own unique rums, each with its own marque identifying its origin.

Boasting a warm, radiant amber hue, it offers a complex symphony of flavours, from lush tropical fruits to distinctive notes of spice, honey, and dark chocolate. The county of Demerara in Guyana has been steeped in the history of sugar and rum production since the 17th century. Palate Sweet and syrupy with notes of sweet spices, thick notes of dark brown sugar and molasses, treacle, toffee and prunes.

The result is a remarkably flavorful and well-balanced spirit that offers a delightful tasting experience. There is none of the sugary flavors that you get with cheaper mixing rums, and this has absolutely no resemblance to the 1970 rum essence that seems to plague the cheap end of the market. Having the only distillery in the region to survive to the present day, DDL is committed to preserving age-old production techniques and operates the only remaining wooden Coffey still in the world as well as the only wooden pot still - both of which contribute to the distinctive flavour profiles of the rums in the El Dorado stable. Blended to perfection using a combination of the Enmore and Diamond Coffey Stills and the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still. Non è un rum superdolce tipo Don Papa, è un rum più classico, però ha un gusto molto rotondo e anche se nei primi momenti percepirai l'alcol, la sua dolcezza si farà via via più seducente man mano che lo tieni in bocca.
