El Dorado 25 years old Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Demerara

“This stunning El Dorado rum is perhaps the best rum I have ever tasted.”

89
El Dorado 25 year
A very, very exciting special edition from El Dorado, a great Demerara rum.

This was distilled in 1980 and, by Jove, it's one of the most fantastic rums you'll ever try, aged for a whopping 25 years.

Perhaps overpriced but definitively an awesome rum. One of the best rum I have had.

This dram has a mahogany-like color.

Nose (85): more than average. molasses, varnish, spices, wood, pepper, floral, hazelnut. It is strange. It smells of old but slightly bad and really good at times.

Palate (93): smooth, oily, creamy. sweet, honey, molasses, brown sugar, sugar cane, spices, cardamom. Awesome! Non plus ultra!

Finish (90): longer than average. honey, molasses, brown sugar, floral, citrus.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this El Dorado 25 year with 89 points over 100.
