El Dorado 15 Year Rum is a Rum from the El Dorado Rum Collection brand hailing from Guyana.

What is El Dorado 15 Year Rum?

El Dorado 15 Year Rum is a Demerara rum from Guyana, known for its rich, complex flavor profile that balances sweet and dry notes. Interestingly, this rum is produced using a unique wooden Coffey still, one of the last of its kind in the world, which imparts distinct character and depth to the spirit that can't be replicated by modern column stills.

Why do we love El Dorado 15 Year Rum?

El Dorado 15 Year Rum stands out for its unique aging process, which utilizes a combination of stills including the world's only wooden Coffey still. This Guyanese treasure offers a complex flavor profile with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and candied orange peel, making it an excellent choice for sipping neat or elevating classic rum cocktails.

How do you drink El Dorado 15 Year Rum?

El Dorado 15 Year Rum shines brightest when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its complex flavors to unfold on the palate. This rich, smooth rum also performs beautifully in spirit-forward cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans, and pairs wonderfully with dark chocolate desserts or spicy Caribbean cuisine on warm summer evenings.

Nose: Rich molasses and toffee notes dominate, backed by vanilla, dried fruits, and a hint of oak. Subtle spices like cinnamon and nutmeg emerge with gentle swirling.

Palate: Smooth and full-bodied. Dark chocolate and coffee flavors mingle with ripe banana and tropical fruit. The oak influence is more pronounced, bringing a pleasant dryness that balances the rum's inherent sweetness. Baking spices and a touch of tobacco add complexity.

Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades to reveal lingering notes of dark cocoa, toasted nuts, and a subtle smokiness. A gentle spice tingle persists, reminiscent of ginger and black pepper.

El Dorado 15 Year Rum is crafted using a unique blend of rums aged in oak barrels for at least 15 years, with some components aged up to 25 years. What sets this rum apart is the use of both column and pot stills during distillation, including the last operating wooden Coffey still in the world, which imparts distinctive flavors and complexity to the final product.

  • El Dorado 15 Year Rum is crafted using a unique combination of stills, including the world's only functioning wooden Coffey still, which dates back to 1832 and imparts a distinctive character to the spirit.
  • The rum's deep amber color comes entirely from natural aging in oak barrels, without any added caramel coloring—a rarity in the rum world and a testament to its long maturation process.
  • In a blind tasting at the International Wine and Spirit Competition, El Dorado 15 Year Rum outscored several well-known cognacs and received a higher rating than many premium single malt scotches, challenging preconceptions about rum's complexity and sophistication.

      Smooth and dangerously rich

      While I bet you could make a killer cocktail with this, it's an exceptional sipping rum all on its own. Deep rich flavors with a gentle bite.
