Albion El Dorado Rare Collection AN 2004

Does not fall in the blind direct comparison with the Velier Albions. Classic Albion notes of sweet vanilla, oak and caramel, but with a somewhat too noticeable bitter note on the palate, without which it would go even higher. Serious alternative in the (still) tolerable price range.

super demerara very greedy.exceptional product, I love it! 🤤

Fully meets my taste! Hardly distinguishable with its big brother from 1994.

mega awesome nose of toasted coconut chips, caramel, lots of wood, cocoa, cinnamon, dark chocolate, sour cherries and blackberries with maple syrup, raisins and dates! the taste is then significantly spicier, smokier and woodier. some cocoa, orange peel, sour cherries and toasted oak, cocoa and dark chocolate, some dates and a slight hint of salted caramel... in the finish then astringent like black tea, lots of tannins and bitter roasted flavors and banana with banana and salted caramel and dark chocolate.... Really cool shit!!!🇬🇾💣🤤

Insane quality! At this still(!) good price (2024) a no-brainer. I particularly like the coconut note, paired with fruity berries. However, wood and spicy notes predominate, but that doesn't bother me at all. Heavy Demerara sweetness and alcohol perfectly integrated.

I love it! Chocolate caramel with wood and lots more like tropical fruit. In direct comparison to the ED Skeldon, perhaps less banana in the smell and the Skeldon is roastier in the finish. But the Albion is still wonderful and complex :-) Guyana rum is something great and this rum is a harmonious poem.

Dense and intense nose. Also wonderful on the palate. Not 100 different flavors, but those that are there are wonderfully present and a lot of fun to drink. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Super Demerara rum.

Excellent rum with a high level of complexity; dark chocolate and spices go hand in hand. New facets are discovered with every sip. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, the 60% is present, but seems mild rather than harsh. Admittedly not cheap, but it is also a special rum.

Amazing profile with sweet and some funky candy notes. Exactly what I love from Demerara. Impressive release from El Dorado 😍

Dark is probably the keyword for this rum. Tropical wood, chocolate, coffee, caramel, light sweetness, light bitter notes. There are not so many tropically matured Demeraras at such a good price....

A must for any self-respecting rum lover

Excellent. Superb Albion. Magnificent length. You can't feel the 60 degrees, it's so well done. A real treat. ❤️❤️❤️ Really top after tasting a second sample, I validate my comment and raise my score by 01 point. it's really delicious.

Heavy, dark, oily. For me, the incarnation of completely tropically aged rums from Guyana. The parallel tasted Skeldon (RX122) seems to me a little more "aggressive", edgier, this one against round and pleasing. Update 2022-10-07: Christmas is approaching and that apparently affects my taste perception as well. Now I taste so delicious gingerbread in the finish that the rum promptly gets one point more. 😋

The nose gradually reveals more and more. Wood, caramel, coconut, vanilla, raisin, roasted aromas and also some glue. Pleasantly creamy/oily in the mouth with chocolate, caramel, a slight sweetness, wood and raisin. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. For me, one of the best Diamonds.

A rum that every lover should try times. Nice and strong, a lot of dark chocolate, some raisin and coconut and with proper wood and rusty notes especially in the long finish. And everything nice and round. 👍
