DDL El Dorado 5

"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."

"Basic and slightly sweet with a bit of wood spice. I bought this to see if DDL's lightly aged rum has an interesting flavor. It's not bad, but it's not interesting. This is a mixer. I won't rebuy. Hamilton 86 is cheaper and more versatile."

"Sugary nose. Nutty, chocolaty, fairly complex but slightly alcoholic flavor. The pleasant flavors give way to astringency rather quickly. Ace mixing rum."

"good as a mixer"

"Great for mixing not really a sipper. Pint glass full of ice, 6oz can of sprite, top up with El do 5, stir."

"Le nez est très agréable "

"Sprawił mi dużą przyjemność. Dardzo fajny, prosty i przyjemny daily dram. Zapowiada się na bardzo porządny mixer Zapach: figi, daktyle, słony karmel, wanilia, lekko metaliczny Smak: słodki, daktyle figi, czekolada, kawa, słony karmel, maślany, pikantny Aftertaste: kawa, butterscotch z solą i cukierki kakaowe, maślany, karmel"

"Very pleasant with a slight burn on the finish. Sugar notes dominate."

"V chuti cítim alkohol (whisky?), vanilku, kokos a dym."

"Tastes like ice cream. Smokey Demerara taste like you’d expect. Kind of dries the inside of your mouth, probably cos it’s not as full of sugar as the older ones. No better or worse than the eight, probably the best value El Dorado, but overall just ok."
