El Dorado EHP Single Barrel

Enjoyed this greatly, no residual sugar and astringint sweetness that is in the 12 or 15 yr...a great portion of the higher end eldo blends,,, great on its own

I got a bottle after having a great experience with a different single batch rum. Maybe it was because I had expectations that I found this to be a little underwhelming (especially for the price). Almost no nose and a medium amount of burn. The flavours I tasted were a light caramel and apple.

Great rum, complex. But I still prefer the ED 21.
Très bon et complexe mais je préfère le ED 21.

Regrettably, I can't get this locally (San Francisco/Oakland). Last time I picked up bottles in the duty free shop at Piarco and they didn't last long, let me tell you. You can sometimes snag a shot at Smugglers Cove on Gough Street in SF, but don't even try to ask them where they get their bottles. So smooth, perfect balance of sweet/dry/smoke, cleanest finish of any rum I've tried so far. This stuff comes from one of the oldest wooden stills that is still producing rum in the Caribbean so it's got cache as well as great flavor. A treasured, rare bottle to share with only your very best friends
