DDL El Dorado High Ester Blend LBI/DHE 2012 11yr 57%
The El Dorado High Ester Blend LBI/DHE is a distinctive Guyanese rum produced by Demerara Distillers Ltd. Distilled in 2012 using a John Dore Pot Still, it ages for 11 years, reaching an ABV of 57%. This rum offers a complex aroma of caramel, vanilla, chocolate, and woody notes. On the palate, it presents pronounced chocolate, vanilla, and fruity flavors.

Overall, it provides a rich, aromatic experience enjoyed by many for its chocolate and caramel profiles, though the alcohol integration may be slightly overpowering for some.

“Finally we have a convincing El Dorado OB again! On the nose the LBI is in the focus with coconut, vanilla, caramel and some chocolate. The DHE adds some glue-y notes and fresh fruits. The blend works very nice on the nose providing a nice and (more) complex twist on a nice Guyana column still nose. On the palate the DHE is more present - some funk and fruit notes alongside vanilla, chocolate and some wood. Nice creamy texture.”

“Nice extension of the El Dorado series. The only thing I don't really understand is the high ester. The label and the description don't deliver what is promised. Apart from that, it's a very successful rum. But it needs a little time in the glass. I think it's very good. As @Basti has already mentioned, there is a slight New Yarmouth parallel. Maybe that's why I like it so much 😉.”
