El Dorado 21 year old 43%
Tasting Note
From Spirits aged between 21 and 25 years. Distilled in wooden Pot and Continuous Stills
Re-Tasted: Apr 2013
Stunningly mature aromas of, dark macerated orange conserve, liquorice, mocha, tobacco, burnt wood and woody spices. Wonderfully balanced just like the 15 year old with the citrus/ medicinal notes adding freshness and giving the nose a lift. Beautiful sawdusty oak underpins all that sun dried raisin, treacle and dark syrup character. With time a touch of iodine and tobacco smoke emerges.
The palate is unbelievably soft, supple and unctuous. A real mouthful of liquorice, dark treacle, dark toffee, citrus peel and Christmas pudding dried fruit. Incredibly deep and mouth-filling with a lovely walnutty, barky spiced middle. Again the combination of alcohol/ citrus and medicinal notes cleanses the palate and balances the sweetness. Exceptionally long with the light, herbal/ medicinal notes lingering and a lovely, softly smoked after-taste.
