What is El Dorado High Ester Blend LBI DHE Rum?
El Dorado High Ester Blend LBI DHE Rum is a bold and aromatic spirit that showcases the intense flavors produced by high-ester fermentation.

Why do we love El Dorado High Ester Blend LBI DHE Rum?
El Dorado High Ester Blend LBI DHE Rum is a treasure for cocktail enthusiasts seeking intense, complex flavors. This unique rum combines high-ester distillates from Guyana's historic Port Mourant double wooden pot still and the Uitvlugt Savalle still, resulting in a powerhouse of tropical fruit notes, spice, and funky complexity that can transform classic rum cocktails into unforgettable experiences.
How do you drink El Dorado High Ester Blend LBI DHE Rum?
El Dorado High Ester Blend LBI DHE Rum shines when sipped neat or over a large ice cube, allowing its complex flavors to unfold gradually on the palate. This intense rum also excels in spirit-forward tropical cocktails, particularly those calling for Jamaican-style rums, and pairs wonderfully with rich desserts or spicy Caribbean cuisine on warm summer evenings.
Nose: Sharp banana esters dominate, followed by overripe pineapple and mango. Hints of vanilla and caramel provide a sweet backdrop. Ethyl acetate gives a slight nail polish remover note, typical of high-ester rums.
Palate: Intense tropical fruit flavors burst forth – ripe banana, pineapple, and papaya. Molasses sweetness balances the fruity acidity. Woody spices like cinnamon and nutmeg emerge. The high alcohol content (around 60% ABV) creates a warming sensation.
Finish: Long and complex. The fruit notes linger, gradually giving way to oak tannins and a subtle smokiness. A slight medicinal quality reminiscent of cough drops appears. The warmth from the high proof persists, leaving a tingling sensation on the tongue.
El Dorado High Ester Blend LBI DHE Rum is crafted using a unique double retort pot still, which concentrates esters and congeners to create an intensely aromatic spirit. This special rum is a blend of high-ester distillates aged for at least three years in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and flavorful product that showcases the distinctive Demerara rum style of Guyana.
