El Dorado 15 Year Rum

One of the best rums I've tasted in my life. The price compared to the taste is incredible. It is sweet, thick, and delicately mixes a woody, almost tobacco taste with flavours of chocolate and brown sugar. On the nose, the caramel really comes out. If you haven't tried tis bottle, go get it. Now.

smooth, complex flavor notes, mild spice, buttery finish

Ahh, El Dorado. The golden city, the fabled goal of many a failed conquistador...and it's in my glass. Guyana's rum is made from Demerara sugar; in fact, the Demerara River flows through Guyana, so we're talking the realist deal possible for the base sugar in the distillate. And, just as you'd expect, this is an earthy, dark, rich affair. The nose is syrupy and thick, and the palate has a funk to it that doesn't tend to appear in Spanish-influenced rums or rhum agricole. This is a dark flavor palate - dried mission fig, dark chocolate covered raisins, dates, dark roast coffee beans, and that dark, funky brown sugar at the end. Smooth and damn tasty.

Smooth with rich plum, woody spice, and sweet caramel, brown sugar and vanilla. It's got an oaked, almost bourbon quality, and it's not too sweet, making it a great whiskey drinker's rum. It's delicious but it's a little too charred/oaked to be my ideal aged rum. $61 in Ontario.

My favorite. Very well-made, albeit fine-tuned with sugar. If you like sweet rum, Port or desert wines, you will like it.
