El Dorado 15 Year Old Rum

The El Dorado 15 Year Old Special Reserve Rum is a world-renowned, exceptionally complex, and luxurious Demerara rum that stands as a benchmark for long-aged Caribbean spirits. Distilled in Guyana using a combination of historic wooden and metal stills—including the famous Enmore wooden coffey still and Versailles single wooden pot still—it is matured for at least 15 years in selected ex-bourbon oak casks in tropical temperatures. It pours a deep, shimmering amber-topaz color in the glass, lifting with a magnificent, layered bouquet of dark brown sugar, molasses, ripe banana, and candied orange peel, woven with sophisticated notes of tobacco leaf, leather, roasted coffee, and smoky oak. On the palate, this full-bodied rum is remarkably rich, smooth, and velvety, delivering intense and mouth-coating flavors of dark chocolate, rich toffee, grilled pineapple, and macerated stone fruits. Balanced by a warm, refined spirit presence, it glides into a monumental, dry, and exceptionally long finish that leaves lingering traces of exotic baking spices, walnuts, and toasted vanilla.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with rich desserts such as dark chocolate truffles, tiramisu, pecan pie, or bananas Foster, as well as glazed barbecued pork ribs, slow-braised duck leg, and strong, mature cheeses like mature blue cheese or aged Gouda.
