El Dorado 1988 25-Year

Su color denota ajuste con algún colorante o caramelo, en nariz a mi gusto le falta madera. Se degustar y tomar muy bien pero algo similar se puede obtener de otros rones con menor precio y menor añejado de lo que expresan.

The current bottle on my shelf remains unopened at this time. The Rum Bar in Key West (sadly no longer there) used to have it on their Millionaires Flight at $50 for the flight. I purchased this flight ever time I went in. It’s been a while so I won’t go though the tasting notes. I can tell you my memory tells me it’s one of the best I have ever had.

My 1B Top Rum. Exquisite and delicious, nuanced, etc..

While the El Dorado series of rums are good and especially the 15yo, I was disappointing by the 21yo and thus was a bit apprehensive of getting the 25yo, especially in light of its considerable cost. There was no reason to hesitate however as the rum was probably the best I have ever tasted. The flavour was of a sweet oakey syrup with deep toasted notes, in near perfect balance with both the aromas and alcohol. Worth the money for true connoisseurs!

Rich, smooth and mellow with
caramel and heavy fruit cake.

Definitely a treat. Coats your mouth with sweet nectar while still making it’s alcoholic presence known. If you don’t know the price as you sip you want more immediately; if you do know the price, you may think twice before you splurge as to live to sip on another fine day.

Top of the typical El Dorado sweet line of rum. Nice aroma, sweet complex taste, smooth not burning. Longer and sweet aftertaste with fruit and honey tones. Best od the "standard" El Dorado line. Good experience, but whole bottle looks overpriced (500Eur in my country).

Bättre än så här blir det inte. Smakade den på en master class som hölls av Ian Burrell på Birka Cruises romkryssning 2018. Det här är perfektion.

I never thought I would enjoy a glass as much as the 1980 vintage of the 25 year El Dorado, but this one is right up there. If I had the money I would would drink nothing but this.

This is better than the normal 25 year aged rum wow what flavourings , money well spent ..
Honestly flavours cannot comprehend how good of a rum this is ... El Dorado stands for liquid gold and this is the holy grail ... I would own a 1000 bottles if I could
