    How does this rum taste?

    Bold chocolate flavor
    High ABV enhances character
    Distinct woodiness

    El Dorado The Last Casks (Gold) is a 22-year-old rum from the Diamond distillery in Guyana, distilled in 2000 from molasses using a Coffey still. Bottled at a cask strength of 54.4% ABV, this rum presents a unique profile characterized by intense woody, caramelized, and roasted aromas. On the palate, chocolate and oak dominate, accompanied by bitter and molasses notes. While some users note a well-integrated alcohol strength that enhances its bold character, others feel its complexity could be more pronounced. Despite generally positive feedback, some criticism targets its high price point relative to its perceived value compared to other El Dorado offerings. This rum is available for review and purchase on the RumX platform.

     Beautiful varnish and polish notes, balanced demerara profile. Plenty of caramel. Warm and powerful as only tropical maturation can produce. Very spicy, lots of caramel in the mouth. Furry finish. Very good Demerara sipper, simply too simple to be awarded higher honors. This is how one imagines ED 12 at cask strength. And therefore far too expensive.

     First off, I think the price tag is far too high compared to what you get. That being said this is still a pretty good Diamond. Lightly fruity with roasted wood and some notes of polish/varnish. Es and spicy on the palate and a medium to long finish.

     Viel bitter zitrus Abrieb trifft auf dunkle Schokolade und leicht medizinische Noten. Insgesamt spannendes Profil wenn auch lang nicht so harmonisch wie die anderen beiden Last casks im direkten Vergleich. Alkohol könnte deutlich besser integriert sein... etwas biestig. Aber dafür endlich Mal kräftig, dreckig und würziges Guyana Profil. Dennoch aber genauso wie die anderen 3 nicht ansatzweise 300€ knapp wert meiner Meinung nach...
