El Dorado
8 Year Old Cask-Aged Demerara Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted: 3/19/2024

Country: Guyana

Alcohol: 40%

Medium golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of warm molasses and maple syrup mixture, very ripe banana and pineapple, toasted baking spices, and cinnamon bark with a round, vibrant, dryish medium body and a warming, intriguing, medium-length finish with nuances of chocolate creme brulee, caramelized plantains, leather and candied bacon, and vanilla and caramel spiced cashews and pecans. Whelp, that is delicious and well balanced between fruit, barrel, and a touch of funk.

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.
