By 1670, the foundation of Demerara Rum production was laid down with the establishment of distilling into the new territories by the British. The story of rum in Guyana started in the 1640s with the introduction of sugar cane by the early European settlers. Savour the taste of the Caribbean with El Dorado 12-Year-Old Special Reserve Rum, a smooth, rich blend that's been matured for at least a dozen years in oak barrels. To my mind, this incarnation of El Dorado 12 is better than its predecessor but isn't going to wow the masses in the same way.

Non è un rum superdolce tipo Don Papa, è un rum più classico, però ha un gusto molto rotondo e anche se nei primi momenti percepirai l'alcol, la sua dolcezza si farà via via più seducente man mano che lo tieni in bocca.

Whether you're a seasoned rum enthusiast or just beginning your exploration of this versatile spirit, El Dorado 15 Year Old Special Reserve is a superb choice. The maturation is conducted for at least three years, and then the final blend and bottling takes place. Crafted using primarily spirit produced at Uitvlugt and the Savale stills in Guyana, along with Enmore's wooden Coffey still, this rum encapsulates a harmonious fusion of different distillation methods.

The first bottle I had was that potent it actually filled the room full of the smell on initial opening.

This glorious, full-bodied rum of exquisite taste and character was launched in late 2002 and has quickly established itself as one of the finest on the market. El Dorado exists to create deeper, more richly crafted rum experiences for drinkers to explore and savour longer. The colour also leads you to believe this will be a richer rum (and I believe caramel colouring is still added.They also appreciate the deep, smooth taste and the fact that it's a proper rum, unlike many others. On the nose this rum has strong flavours such as dark coffee, candied orange, almonds and dark chocolate.

Only marginally better than the 12 year old version, so I tend to reserve this for special occasions. Distinctive and different - perhaps it's those wooden stills - this is layers of molasses, a dry but gentle woodiness, and noticable edge of something almost liquorice. By 1780, there were over 300 distilleries producing their own unique rums, each with its own marque identifying its origin. Alles in allem bin ich vom Geruch angetan, geschmacklich ausgewogen und sehr mild sagt mir der 12 Jährige zu.
