El Dorado
21 Year Old Special Reserve Demerara Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted:
Country: Guyana
Alcohol: 40%
Amber color. Aromas and flavors of bananas foster, leather and cigar box, Banana Boat sun oil, and baking spices and pickled ginger with a velvety, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, engaging, medium-length finish evoking overtones of vanilla caramel corn, cocoa nibs, baking spices with anise, and coconut and wood tannins linger on the finish. Beautifully aged with rich layers of flavor and just a touch tannic and oaky on the finish; once paired with a cigar this tannin will disappear.
