A delicious blend of Caribbean rum, El Dorado 15 Year Old marries spirits from the Enmore and Diamond Coffey stills, the Port Mourant double wooden pot still and the Versailles single wooden pot still. All the tasty spirits are blended and then aged in bourbon oak casks before bottling. This was rated the best rum in the world at the International Wine and Spirit Competition four years running, and for good reason.
Dark brown sugar and thick, gooey toffee, notes of stewed stone fruits, prunes and molasses.
Sweet and syrupy with notes of sweet spices, thick notes of dark brown sugar and molasses, treacle, toffee and prunes.
Long, creamy and thick, dark spices.

El Dorado 15 is a pleasant aged rum however it's not worth the price compared to the El Dorado 12 or even the El Dorado 8. The El Dorado rums from 12 and up could do with a standard abv and a slightly higher abv version, similar to Pusser's, Doorly's and the Real McCoy. El Dorado 15 is slightly weaker and less robust than it's predecessor but is still a decent rum for occasional use.
Nice taste….is it worth the extra money from the 12 yo……probably not. Personally think the Brugal 1888 and plantation xo are a better bet…..IMHO
A really good, smooth and delicious rum. Only marginally better than the 12 year old version, so I tend to reserve this for special occasions. Yes I'll give it 5-stars but for everyday drinking I buy the 12 because of the rather significant price differential.
When I tried the first mouthful I felt that this was a mature nicely rounded and aged rum. However as I have continued to work my way through the bottle I have grown disappointed with it's rude rough fiery notes. Any feeling of mature quality has been lost. Overpriced in my opinion.
Enjoyed it but still to find one as good as Diplomatico rerserva. Trying the Diplomatico familia next.
