El Dorado 21 (Onwards 2020) 21-Year

En rigtig god rom. Efter nogle sip syntes jeg den fortjener et 9 tal. Blød og god eftersmag.

Tasted the new less sweetened El Dorado 21yo after a better dinner at a restaurant downtown Stockholm.
It’s still very tasteful, but drier which suits me better. So they’ve made a good job at DDL to make it such good without much of the sugar.
Picture: Our two poured glasses together with the bottle at the restaurant.

Köstlich , nochmal besser als der 15 Jährige.
Super-Komplex , Süß und Würzig.

Delicious, even better than the 15 year old.
Super-complex, sweet and spicy.

Out of the bottle this rum is delicious. A hint of oak and caramel on the tongue. It is well balanced and makes for a great sipper. Our high taxes in Alberta put this rum at $91.00 Canadian.

El Dorado 21yo by měl být blendem rumů ze Savalle Still a zrát by měl 21 let v sudech po bourbonu.

Aroma: Opálené dřevo, zemitost, koření, vanilka, tabákový kouř. Na pozadí krásně prosvítá ovoce (banány, pomeranče, pomelo).
Chuť: Mix opáleného dřeva, ovoce a velmi hořké čokolády.
Dozvuk: Štavnatě ovocný mísící se se zemitostí, dřevem a slaným karamelem.
Sladkost: 0/3

Novější verze (stejně jako 15yo) je neskutečně komplexní dobrota. Oba jsou si velmi podobné a bodově je hodnotím stejně, ale z hlediska poměru cena/výkon vyhrává 15yo, která se prodává za poloviční cenu.

This rum would be my choice out of various El Dorado rums I tried. On palate: tobaco, coffee notes. Finish is long, oaky.

Rum really aging in barrels for 21 years, not a solera. In taste you filling all this years: rum has heavy body, dry, wood, leather and tobacco. Will be good choice for whiskey lovers.

In the bottle gifted to me by Buck for my birthday. Tasted on 11-25-23. An appropriate rum for my 500th rating. Pours a very dark reddish amber. The aroma fills the room. I get a malty grain aroma with rich notes of toasted caramel and a touch of funk. Up front tartness that quickly melts into citrus tangerines, cloves, leather and oakiness. Spicy finish with a long woody taste lingering. Tannic and astringent. Thinner palate than the previous blue label 21 year and quite different.

Who knew removing sweetness from rum would make it better???

Okay, balanced. Smooth with just the right amount of burn
