    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise the drier 2020 release for its great nose and smooth spice. Expect caramel, vanilla and raisins on the nose, then woody spice, burnt sugar, dark chocolate and dried fruit on the palate. Often enjoyed neat or on ice, with some mixing well. A popular pick with 74 reviews, it’s a solid choice for fans of classic Demerara character and the reduced-sugar style.

    Ром Эльдорадо 21 ,в базовой своей линейки один из самых удачных позиций.Аромат Рома Медовый и немного фруктовы,чувствуешь очень хорошо ваниль и спецый,вкус очень сладкий много спецый и мёда и сухофруктов. Кто любет сладкие Ромы вам сюда 😎

    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.

    This super round rhum is made from rums of between 21 and 25 years of age and is very well rounded. 8,7:On the nose it is buttery, with chocolatey notes behind it. Ripe banana and fruity Christmas cake. Airing brings hints of tobacco and sandalwood in the nest of coconut, leading into spent match smokiness. 8,8:On the palate there are dry sultanas, dates, blackcurrant and macadamia nuts, a touch of rose water. The wood is toasted. The mid-palate brings dark chocolate and nutmeg too. 8,6:The finish is long and it just keeps going in! There's fried banana and handfuls of raisin notes right through to the end, with just a little hint of spicy cinnamon.. Quite an upgrade from 15y.This is rum with a big R. A super sipper!

    Al naso è intenso e gustevole, con note arrostite e tostate, zucchero bruciato, barile, pelle, vaniglia, prugne e spezie leggere. Non ricordavo un naso così buono. Al palato è corposo e saporito, ritrovo sostanzialmente gli stessi aromi trovati al naso. È meno dolce delle versioni precedenti. Il finale è abbastanza delicato e pecca di profondità.
