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.
Seven years ago Steven James from the United Kingdom placed the following post:
“I can instantly smell brown sugar, dark fruit (prunes and dates), vanilla, a little spice, and what can only be described as licorice. To taste, the licorice shows itself along with a dark treacle which provides a little bitterness. Dark fruit is present and I can taste the dates and prunes which add a chewy toffee flavor and feel. I can taste a slight orange flavor and then the licorice returns to round out quite a dry finish. The finish is not too long but does leave your mouth with an almost leathery and tobacco warmth. Winner”
Fred from France said:
“Here is a very high-quality rum, which really excited me! The nose promises aromas that the mouth confirms: a delicious vanilla sweetness, notes of nuts, dates, and dried fruits. The length in the mouth is very good, leaving the palate plenty of time to appreciate the complexity of the aromas delivered. This is really the typical example of a perfectly balanced and balanced old rum! A total success!”
