El Dorado 5 Year Rum

A little too harsh for a sipper in my opinion, but goes great with a splash of coke.

This smells like sweet sweet vanilla with a tiny bit of oak, but not much since it did not stay in a barrel a minute longer than 5 years, a little young and harsh but still good, i like a spirit that has bite. The demorara aroma comes along nicely presenting some toffe and a little bit dried grass but in a very nice way. On the taste it has the typical El dorado funk which resembles overripe, nigh rotting bananas, very pleasent fermented flavor. It is a little bit thin, you can definetly tell they dont do much more then just ageing their spirit more, because the 15 is just the more mature expression of the 5y Still very good, especielly that it is very reasonably priced, like all el dorado rums. Definetly would recommend to anyone who would want to spend too much on rum but still wants something nice and flavourfull
