El Dorado 15 Year Old Special Reserve Rum 750 mL
(Guyana) - [WE 92]

Distillery Notes:

The El Dorado 15 Year Old is artfully blended using marques from the EHP Wooden Coffey, the Metal Coffey, the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still and the Versailles Single Wooden Pot Still. Its unmistakeable taste is achieved from the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still, which provides an earthy, peat-like finish.

Tasting Notes:
Full nose packed with dark coffee, candied orange, almonds, dark chocolate, pepper and rich vanilla. Beautifully rounded palate with a great spread of flavours: grilled tropical fruit with smooth oaky spice silky, vibrant and moderately full-bodied.

Awards/Reviews:

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

"Opening nosing pass shows deft touches of caramel, honey and molasses. Palate entry is dry to off-dry and mildly honeyed; the midpalate is stately, medium-bodied and tastes of tar, tobacco, old oak and molasses. Aftertaste is long, bittersweet, brandy-like and tastes of dark caramel."

Grade: A- (Drinkhacker)

"Richer in flavor than the 12 Year. Wood comes through stronger on this one, with mint and herb fading into the background. Again it’s the brown sugar body that impresses deeply, with a rich mouthfeel that makes this one easy to sip. The finish is extremely smooth."
