El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year

Great rum, but for the price I expected it to exceed the flavor of 12 year and it did not

sophisticated rum with notes of caramel, oak, and dried fruits. Velvety texture, long finish.

To me it has a one note type taste. I like to add it to TIKI drinks to add richness. 1 oz of this with other rums.

I haven’t tried so many rums but so far I prefer the British style and this rum amplifies my taste so far. I can taste orange and plums but also some pepper.

This was a nice surprise, although I initially liked it less than I would have otherwise - it was the 6th rum I tried in one sitting. It was sweet and somewhat funky on the nose. This has also translated into the taste - a pleasently sweet sipper with some funk to it. Quite interesting and memorable.

I have to agree with others - for this style of rum, it's hard to beat this for quality or value. If I had to choose only 1 rum to drink all year, it would probably be Centenario 25 - but if I'm paying, it would be this.

Exceptional flavour, however I found the 12 yo more convincing.

Has a vanilla and woody scent and taste.

Nice sipper but not really my thing

the big brother of the 12Y, more refined with a touch of spiciness

7:The nose is largely roasted, so much so that you can almost guess the powdery side of coffee grounds. The rum's core is relatively light, as evidenced by the fruit candy notes that begin to pass between the toasted oak fibers.
With aeration, the profile remains relatively taut, with ethereal flights that seem to clean the surface of the barrel. They carry with them notes of varnish, toasted wood and flame-roasted nuts.
7,5:On the palate, the first impression is of a rather fluid attack. It's like a rum with a toasty woodiness and a slightly diluted maple syrup. The mid-palate then takes us to the heart of the Demerara style, albeit with a great deal of restraint. Toasted, caramelized nuts, ripe exotic fruit, sweet spices and a slightly mineral, powdery edge are all present, again with nuances.
7,5:The finish is slightly sweet, gently spicy, with the rum fading rather quickly from the palate.
Run with a bit lack of smoothiness and roundedness. Otherwise everyday sipper. Nice, but not top.Nose 7, a bit repressed, on palate 7,5, it opens, but it is more agressive than 12 y which is more elegant, 7,5 on finish.
