El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year rum is crafted from 15 to 25 year old rums that are then blended and married together in bourbon oak casks. Prior to blending the original batches are distilled using 4 unique stills - the Enmore and Diamond Coffey stills, the Port Mourant double wooden pot still, and the Versailles single wooden pot still.
The bottle of El Dorado Special Reserve 15-year was inspired by the the old hand-blown flasks used by sugar planters on the banks of the Demerara river.

I received a bottle of this as a Christmas gift and enjoyed it thoroughly over several months.
This was one of the first aged rums I tasted, and it left an impression. Dark molasses flavor, more complexity, slight bitterness, and more of an overt bite compared to others I was drinking at the same time. Frankly, it was probably too good for me at the time, and I'm eager to pick up another bottle of this (or the 12 Year) at some point once I'm more attuned.
Great rum.Very nice aromas of caramel and vanilla.
Best value.
Sweet, fruity and sugary. Dried figs and dates, sultana's, vanilla extract, brown sugar, loads of cinnamon, allspice, mild wood notes. The finish has a treaclish quality to it with sticky caramel and some more pronounced slightly bitter wood notes. It's all very "smooth" though. I'm normally not a fan of these engineered type of rums, but this is dangerously drinkable.
Best rum I have ever had! Tasted great on the rocks. Better than most high dollar bourbons. A stable for your collection
Complex. Maybe too sugary and old to my taste but still a great rum.
Its a slightly more oak tasting rum than the 12, I prefer the 12 for the price difference
This rum is the first one I judge other rums against. I consider this a truly classic offering, and one of the best starting points for getting into the world of "good" rum. Even more so than a similar offering, like the 18 year Flor De Cana (which is smoother but has less character than this IMO). Skip the 12 year and go straight for this imo, the price difference isn't much but the taste here is notably better.
I don’t drink a lot of rum straight, I’m more of a rum and Coke guy, but I tried this neat and then with some ice and I could have it either way. No harsh burn, really I wouldn’t even say it warms the throat. Just a good, smooth rum that isn’t over powering one way or the other.
Full nose packed with dark coffee, candied orange, almonds, dark chocolate...
"El Dorado Special Reserve 15-Year rum review by Mike at Ultimate Rum Guide"
Has more oak and chocolate notes.
"It is initially very sweet, apples, bananas and rum soaked raisins but there are also some bittersweet plum like notes. The finish is spicy and fruity and long lasting."

This is a decent Rum and I can see how many will like this. It is sweet but still has some character and spice. All in all well rounded. Can be a little pricey but well worth having in you collection
