About El Dorado 5 Year Aged Rum

El Dorado 5 Year rum is a good choice if you're looking for a solid Demerara Rum for your tiki cocktails.

Years ago there were hundreds of rum distilleries in Demerara. Today there is only one. El Dorado 5 Year Rum is produced by Demerara Distillers, the last remaining distillery in Guyana.

Tasting Notes

Lively with a dried tropical fruit nose with aromas of caramel, butterscotch and molasses. A vibrant spicy entry leads to an evolving palate of fruit, caramel and toasted coconut, fading to a vanilla-tinted glow.

A nicely balanced rum w great flavor
A darker rum w the classic taste of cane sugar. Not sharp and the body serves as a good balance for any drink. Of course, she nice it's darker some of the cocktails may look more "smokey" but that's part of the allure

Great demerara rum for tiki
If you're looking for a demerara rum to mix tiki drinks this is my personal go to. The El Dorado 12 in my opinion is the best sipper of this line, I prefer it over the 15 year. But for cocktails I stick with this every time. It's cheaper, and once you add the citrus it's hard to tell them apart.

Solid gold rum
First off, I prefer this over the 8 year old when it comes to cocktails or simply mixed drinks in general. I would also categorize this rum with Plantation 5 year, if you enjoy that rum then this would be another welcomed addition to your home bar.

Massive bang for buck!
I got this because I love demerara rum and it's difficult to get in Oregon, minimum $40 without a sale. This stuff has the flavor that I seek! My only problem is that it doesn't have the same mouth feel as Hamilton or Lemon Hart. It's also not as proofy as I like, but it gets the job done. Totally worth it!
