The El Dorado 15 Years Old Special Reserve is an exquisite expression of fine rum craftsmanship that comes from the heart of Guyana. Bottled at 43% ABV, this special gift pack not only includes the beautifully aged spirit but also two elegantly designed glasses that complement the drinking experience, making it a perfect choice for gifts or special occasions.
Produced by Demerara Distillers at the renowned Diamond Distillery, this rum shines as a flagship product showcasing the mastery and heritage of one of the oldest names in rum production. Diamond Distillery has a storied history dating back to the 17th century when sugar cane was first introduced to Guyana. The distillery itself is one of the last in the world using the original wooden stills, which contribute to the unique profile of the rums they produce.
The base of this rum is pure molasses, derived from locally grown sugar cane, distilled and aged under the intense tropical climate of Guyana. It’s widely recognized that tropical aging accelerates the maturation process due to the enhanced interaction between the wooden barrels and the rum, driven by the extreme heat and humidity of the region. This results in a depth and complexity of flavor that can be achieved in a shorter period of time compared to temperate climes.
The El Dorado 15 Years Old Special Reserve is not just any rum; it's a skilled blend of select aged rums, each component aged for at least 15 years in oak barrels. The aging process in such a climate imbues the rum with a rich, dark color and a flavor profile that balances spicy, nutty, and sweet notes. Flavors of tropical fruits, spice, and hints of tobacco and dark chocolate create a well-rounded palate that is both sophisticated and intensely satisfying.
Regarding its presentation, the 70cl bottle is elegantly designed, matching the high quality of its contents. It’s presented in a charming gift box along with two beautifully crafted glasses that are specifically designed to enhance the tasting experience. Each sip starts with a complex aroma transitions smoothly into a rich, lingering finish, ensuring that each drinking session is a memorable one.
