El Dorado
21 Year Old Special Reserve Demerara Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted: 3/27/2024

Country: Guyana

Alcohol: 40%

Amber color. Aromas and flavors of bananas foster, leather and cigar box, Banana Boat sun oil, and baking spices and pickled ginger with a velvety, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, engaging, medium-length finish evoking overtones of vanilla caramel corn, cocoa nibs, baking spices with anise, and coconut and wood tannins linger on the finish. Beautifully aged with rich layers of flavor and just a touch tannic and oaky on the finish; once paired with a cigar this tannin will disappear.

About

Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Añejo and Age-Dated Rums are aged Rums from different vintages or batches that are mixed together to insure a continuity of flavor in brands of Rum from year to year. Some aged Rums will give age statements stating the youngest Rum in the blend (e.g., 10-year-old Rum contains a blend of Rums that are at least 10 years old). A small number of French island Rums are Vintage Dated.
