How does this rum taste?
El Dorado Special Cask Finish White Port Casks is a rum crafted in Guyana, distilled from molasses using a pot still at the Versailles distillery. Aged for 16 years, it boasts a complex profile enriched by its unique port cask finish. Users note a prominent blend of port and woody aromas, complemented by hints of plum and vanilla. The palate reveals layers of wood, vanilla, and dried fruits with a noticeable bitter undertone. While appreciated for its innovative cask finish and depth, opinions vary on its balance and bitterness. Some find its dry, oily texture intriguing, while others are less impressed. Ultimately, it's seen as an adventurous yet polarizing choice among El Dorado offerings.

Puhh das ist richtig schwerer Tobak... Unter White Port cask hätte ich mir deutlich mehr helle Früchte erwartet und nicht so eine Wucht aus dunklen Aromen wie sauer pelziger Brombeere, kräftigen Tee Bitternoten, Lakritze, Kaffeesatz und Leder und überraschend trocken mit einer abgefahrenen öligen, Textur die ewig am Gaumen hängen bleibt. Insgesamt ein spannendes Experiment aber leider nicht so Recht mein Fall. Ich gebe auch zabo mit dem Duft nach Knete Recht, sehr irritierend!😆
Another nice interpretation by using port cask finish. The finish is there with a nice fruit addition. Very light dryness on the palate, but overall a nice profile.
Brombeere und Pflaume sind eine leckere Kombi. Das Double Cask Aging gibt dem Rum einen angenehmen Schliff ohne das die Guyana DNA verloren geht.
Actually in of the nicer expressions of those finished DDLs imo. The finish is quite dominating, but playing nicer with the Versailles than in some other bottlings. Still very dry towards the finish, but still enjoyable.
