Vanilla, coffee and orange peel jump at you as you take in the nose. Like a fine French latte. The first sip is an explosion of flavors without even a hint of harshness. At this point it moves from a French Latte to a Cuban coffee, with strong brown sugar and cinnamon notes. As you continue, chocolate and citrus come out to play as well. The finish is long and satisfying with a little more coffee and cinnamon. I'm still fairly new to rum in general, but this to me is the Cognac of aged rums. One of the top spirits I've tasted on this tasting journey thus far. I'm probably going to now visit Guyana at some point just to go to the El Dorado distillery. This is world class in a glass.
