DDL El Dorado 5 5yr 40%

Aged for five years, it delivers a sweet and layered flavor profile characterized by brown sugar, vanilla, and a hint of wood. This rum is generally well-received as a versatile mixer but noted for its somewhat hot, sugary finish. It appeals to enthusiasts seeking an affordable yet genuine expression of Demerara rum, with tasting notes frequently mentioning its suitability in cocktails and mixers over sipping neat. While it excels in mixed drinks, some users hint at an alcoholic bite that may not appeal to all palates.

“This one became a favorite with my friends once I made a daiquiri with it. El Dorado 5 year old Fresh lime juice Maple syrup Mix rate 2/1/1 1 Banana 1 Fresh vanilla bean Scrape out the vanilla bean and put everything into a blender with ice cubes. If you have a high ABV demerara you can add one part to add a kick to it.”

“Actually quite okay, had expected worse. Vanilla, toffee and butterscotch on the nose, then vanilla, cookies and cask on the palate. Unfortunately a little too sweet for me personally.”

“Not much smell to it. The aroma is a bit of vanilla and the slightest hint of dried fruit and wood, and it is pretty hot. The taste is fairly alcoholic and muted. There is mostly honey, caramel and vanilla. Letting it sit gives it more of a butterscotch taste and some wood comes through. Finish is short and hot.”
