Four years running it was named the best rum in the world – rare for a single release to hold that title for so long.
Expert description
El Dorado 15 Year is a Demerara Rum from Guyana, matured for at least 15 years in oak casks and bottled at 43%.
The 15 Year expression builds on the house's classic Demerara style, but with the extra depth and complexity that three additional years of cask ageing bring. The rum is distilled at Demerara Distillers' Diamond plant, where the blending of several historic still styles results in a rum with an unusually broad flavour palette for its price range.
Tasting notes
Nose
Brown sugar, honey and dried fruit alongside dark coffee, candied orange, almonds, dark chocolate, pepper and rich vanilla, complemented by sherry, fruitcake, liquorice and anise with a hint of espresso.
Palate
Syrupy with brown sugar and toffee, beautifully rounded with grilled tropical fruit and smooth, oaky spice – silky and full-bodied, with a dry to lightly honeyed entry and a mid-palate of tar, tobacco, old oak and molasses.
Finish
Long with dark spices, brandy-like, and notes of dark caramel.
