Eldorado 21 years 43 °: Description and customer reviews

El Dorado 21 ans is one of the most prestigious rums on offer from Guyana's Demerara Dis tillers Ltd.
Heir to over 300 years of English tradition, this company blends El Dorado 21 ans from rums distilled in wooden columns and stills. These provide the eaux-de-vie they house with their aromatic richness.

Aging in bourbon barrels lasted a minimum of 21 years.

In 2005, El Dorado 21 ans won the gold medal at the Wine & Spirits Competition of San Francisco. In 2006 and 2007, it also won two silver medals.

Nico's tasting notes

The nose offers a lovely concentration of toasted wood, abounding in a very typical powdery character that reminds us of the Navy's heyday. The heart of the rum is ample and generous. It's bursting with concentrated, candied exotic fruits, housed in walnut shells like little aroma bombs.

Aeration reveals a complex, harmonious rum. It rests on a concentrated, elegant woodiness, inhabited by dried and candied fruits with intense pits, as well as by a blend of spices with deep aromas. Its full-bodied, powdery character is always present. It gradually asserts itself with the help of a handful of very ripe exotic fruits, reduced and concentrated into a solid core.

On the palate, the full spectrum of Demerara style is on display from the outset. The toasty, licorice-accented woodiness seizes the palate and coats it with caramel, encrusted with pecan and vanilla. Then its roasted side reveals a few charred nuances, bordering on black coffee. The fruit takes over again, in the form of a jam reduced to the extreme. A good handful of cloves have also been thrown into the copper pan.

The finish is rather round and sweet in the long term, with a licorice and cane sugar syrup that sticks to the lips. The memory of a coppery caramel with hints of pits remains.

"A beautiful concentration that sticks to the palate while being very accessible through its round and fluid side..."

    You need a bit of background to appreciate this rum, so don't start with it.
    But it's all good stuff!
    Add a few friends, a balmy, starry evening and a cigar, and you can stay confined for an eternity! (well, until you run out of rum!)

  3. Frédéric René Roger MAURIN

    One of my favorites, but the price isn't justified by the 15 years of age.

    exceptional rum 2nd bottle

  5. Olivier Besse

    Very good. But disappointing value for money compared with the El Dorado 15 ans.
