El Dorado 15 Year Old Old Special Reserve Rum, 70cl

Product Information

This answer puzzled me a little, but my knowledge level wasn’t where it is now, so I left it at that.

El Dorado 15 starts with a sweet and fruity taste that is followed by a karate chop of funky oak and cognac flavor. When you get your hands on some E150a, which is caramel used for colouring of spirits, you’ll find out that its flavour is very commonly found in DDL rums, but also that it’s not sweet. Savour it neat or on the rocks, and let its rich, harmonious flavours transport you to the heart of the Caribbean. The driver will input your year of birth into their device and may then require an ID check to complete the age verification process. These tests reveal if there has been a density change in the liquid, which could be the result of additives being present.There's definitely more barrel character here which makes this a bolder and oakier rum though still with the same basic flavour profile as the 12 yr old. They also sell a ton of bulk rum which ends up being released by independent bottlers after being aged in Europe.

The thing that’s thrown a bit of a shadow over DDL in enthusiast circles is the rumour that they are adding sugar to their rums.
