Nach dem Skeldon der Beste in der rare Collection Serie,die ersten Abfüllungen waren äusserst schwach ,aber der Skeldon und Albion sind nahe bei ihren grossen Brüdern.Im direkten Vergleich ist der Albion 1994 Velier vielleicht einen Tick besser,der 5 fache Preis(mindestens) ist aber geradezu ein Witz. Den Skeldon 73 und 78 konnte ich leider nicht probieren der El Dorado Skeldon ist aber auf jeden Fall auch eine Wucht.
Empfehlenswert in der rare Collection Serie ist ansonsten noch der Diamond 1998 20 Jahre welcher meines Wissens nach aber nur in den Niederlanden zu bekommen ist.
Da es anscheind genügend Flaschen gibt sollte man bei den verhältnissmässig günstigen Preisen zuschlagen,so ein eleganter leckerer Rum kommt nicht alle Tage.
Bei Excellence Rhum gibt es auch Sampler zu noch angemessenen Preisen.
Nachtrag am 23.12.2020
Wir haben bei einem blind Tasting den Velier Albion 1994 gegen den El Dorado 2004 verkostet und die Teilnehmer hatten grösste Mühe die Rums zu unterscheiden nur knapp konnte der Velier welcher ja letztendlich genauso von El Dorado stammte als einen Tick besser erkannt werden.
Bitte selbst probieren........
I will do a cross tasting with SVW 1996, ElD Skeldon 2000 and Enmore 1996.
4368 bottles of the Skeldon marque and 4500 of the Albion were release.
Compared to the Diamond SVW nose, it’s not that intensive and shaped, but also elegant. Could be related to the SVW 1996 in the nose but has also many differences in the taste.
It’s also very similar to the Skeldon. I couldn’t name a difference in a blind tasting. It’s also a little bit musty at the beginning.
I get caramel, honey, dry fruits (raisins), orange zest, herbs and earthy barrel first (the earth disappers after 45min).
Then wood aroma is also the one from a wooden still, a typical Enmore wood.
I get also a hint of amarena cherries.
It goes in the direction of the SVW. But it’s not that flowery and not that complex.
First you get some bitter tannins. But after some sips you get used to it. The initial taste is a little bit short because this rum is very viscous. It gets warm in the mouth very fast but therefore the body is richer. I get caramel, wood, tannins, orange zest and herbs in the initial taste. In comparison to the Skeldon I get not much dry fruits here and I get the tannins earlier.
In the middle I get bitter oranges, herbs, wood and the orange zest. Then some more intensive notes of some anise and wood varnish. I didn't get any flowery notes here like in the Skeldon.
The finish starts with spice, then honey, wood varnish, some grains and orange zest
.
A mix of sweet mellow notes and heavy aromas.
The aftertaste is quite nice, but not exceptional. Demerara wood, honey, dry fruits and orange zest.
I didn't get any flowery notes or I missed them.
This rum is a little bit different to the Skeldon, but has also many similarities. It’s a different rum compared SVW 1996. I could compare the nose, but the taste is different.
The SVW is more shaped with more heavy aromas and is also more complex.
It's not complex enough between the best Demeraras. I would rate that one with 91 points.
Nose: caramel**, honey**, dry fruits (raisins)**, orange zest**, earth/barrel**, herbs**, grape seeds*, some flowery notes*

Tasting with
Enmore 1996 (9) & Albion 2004 (10) & Skeldon 2000(9) & Port Mourant 1997(8)
I tasted the Albion and the Skeldon together. The Skeldon was slightly better, but only because it had a more powerful taste. The two rums resemble each other very much, and share the wonderful classic Demerara rum notes. Love, LOVE IT.
It is complex and full bodied with sweet notes. Vanilla, toffee, oak. More my style!!!
One of the best I tried so far. Chocolate, caramell, wood, fruits, roasted notes - love it. Very close to the El Dorado Skeldon.
The nose offers few surprises – rich fruity notes of blackcurrants and raisins.
"It’s rich and very fruity. The finish compared to the initial entry and mid palate is quite dry. It is however, an excellent end to a really great rum. It’s long and and full of complex spices."

Ein weiterer Wurf der El Dorado Rare Collection. Da keine Apparaturen der 1968 geschlossenen Albion Destillerie vorhanden sind wurde dieser Albion in der DDL "nachgeahmt".
Sattes Mahagoni im Glas. Für 14 Jahre sehr heftig, daher vermute ich Farbstoffe, schade für einen Rum in dieser Preisklasse.
In der Nase phänomenal, Karamell, Holz, Gewürze, richtig tief und düster. Ich will einen Schluck !
Im Gaumen nix mit tief und düster sondern eher klebriges Karamell. Sorry El Dorado was soll das ? Ist das euer Ernst ? Zucker in einem Rare Collection ? Ist für mich nur begrenzt nachvollziehbar, ein Dessert Rum ok. aber das ist eine andere Liga.
Im Abgang sehr kurz und ein wenig von Nichts.
Im leeren Glas bleibt ein trüber Film wie von schwarz Tee mit Milch. Habe ich so noch nie bei einem Rum gesehen.
Für Süssrum Liebhaber sicher nicht schlecht, aber sicherlich nicht den Preis wert. Sorry Magüs.
Another throw of the El Dorado Rare Collection. Since no equipment of the 1968 closed Albion distillery is available, this Albion was "imitated" in the DDL.
Rich mahogany in the glass. For 14 years very intense, therefore I suspect dyes, too bad for a rum in this price range.
In the nose phenomenal, caramel, wood, spices, really deep and dark. I want a sip !
In the palate nothing with deep and dark but rather sticky caramel. Sorry El Dorado what is this ? Are you serious ? Sugar in a Rare Collection ? Is for me only limited comprehensible, a dessert rum ok. but this is another league.
In the finish very short and a little of nothing.
In the empty glass remains a cloudy film like black tea with milk. I've never seen a rum like this before.
For sweet rum lovers certainly not bad, but certainly not worth the price. Sorry Magüs.
