El Dorado 15 year old 43%
Tasting Note
Re-Tasted: Apr 2013
A very grapey nose with dark Colombian coffee grains, treacle, dark macerated orange conserve and an almost medicinal, camphor notes. Stunningly deep and mature with maybe more of an apricot/ tangerine conserve rather than orange and some delightfully sweet dried prune and figs. With time the dark chocolate aromas become more prevalent. I really love that medicinal freshness!
Sweet and soft on the palate, opening with some gently smoked molasses, demerara sugar and treacle coated dried prune, raisin and plum. Although it is a big mouth-filling Rum it has a beautiful balancing citrus character which along with the light medicinal note adds freshness. Stunning length of liquid liquorice and treacle along with a lightly herbal finish.
