DDL El Dorado 15

Pretty decent rum that can be used for beginners. Sweet with spices and citrus.

Sehr extrem, spitze im Geschmack, brennt.

Very pleasantly felt. Nice and smoky but not too spicy. I would recommend it to a guest because it tastes very balanced and delicious.

Pepprig. Luktar bra, smakar sämre

Belle découverte, agréablement surpris par sa rondeur, sa douceur et son côté fruité, épicé.

A fine rum that is appreciated even with the presence of added sugars (without it surely would have taken more). Rich with well-balanced aromas of spice, wood, leather and cigar. Too bad it is too sweet. An easy and pleasant rum to taste.

Entgegen vieler Meinungen hier? finde ich diesen Rum recht gelungen. Er ist nicht die hellste Kerze auf dem Kuchen, aber man kann ihn problemlos auch mal eine Abend pur trinken, wenn gerade nichts anderes da ist. Der Abgang lässt danach auch etwas Raum zur Steigerung. Schöner Einsteiger-Rum.

Not as sweet as the 12yo with aromas of caramel, vanilla and fruits. At the palate it’s rather complex and well balanced even if the Demerara sugar dominates. It’s a rum that sets some kind of standard.

Nose is deep and sweet, with brown sugar/caramel notes. The palate is also deep and sweet, with milder warm spices and oakiness. The finish is smooth, caramel-ey and sweet with mild medicinal/herbal notes.

We go up in range and price but the difference in complexity and especially pleasure is not justified compared to the 12 years, which remains my favorite in the El Dorado range.

Edit: I have to revise my opinion a little. For the price, it can really do something. A great starter in the Guyana world. An underdog for me personally. It lacks a little complexity, but that would be almost impossible given the price. That's why it's been adjusted upwards again. But a really fine sipper without being watered down. I now see it as a good rum for beginners, it has become too sweet for me. But it's definitely suitable for an afternoon sip in the sunshine in the garden.

An OK Rum, quite on the sweet side on this earlier version. Can go as a sipper, but is not outstanding.

Nice sipper when you want regular, available sweet rum.

Basically a really nice Demerara flavor profile.It is however completely sunk by massive sugar and limp 43%.Schade ... this profile, no sugar, 60%. Schön wärs...

A powerful and rather well balanced rum. Good product.
