“As with the EHP and VSG, a great nose that unfortunately - thanks to extreme dilution - cannot deliver on the palate as it actually could. Apart from the dilution, a beautiful PM with sweetness, licorice/aniseed, fruit, wood and without the often disturbing saltiness or too much herbs. It may have been sweetened a little here.”

“Well I was very exited to try those single still releases… this is exactly what I would hope for DDL released on a larger scale (and hopefully at a half reasonable price). All three show the common characteristics you would expect and love about DDL‘s stills. No need for blended in the barrel / finishes / obscure leftover casks. Unfortunately, the reduction to 40% ABV is basically a crime against humanity 🙈 While the noses are surprisingly intense, on the palate all three releases are way to thin to deliver the profile competently. Nevertheless all seem in a good place after 12 years of tropical aging and as there are also limited higher ABV bottles available there is a chance for genuinely amazing OB release from DDL in the future. Fingers crossed.”

“Heute mal im Vergleich drei El Dorado von 2009. Port Mourant RX13844, Enmore RX13123 und Versailles RX14577. Leider sind alle auf 40% runter reduziert, sonst hätte etwas sehr gutes entstehen können. Mir persönlich etwas zu dünn. Ansonsten durchaus gelungene Abfüllungen für den Einstieg ins El Dorado Universum, wobei ich den El Dorado 12,15 oder 21 hier vorziehen würde.”
