El Dorado 12 Year Old Ron Rum

Each year in London, England a competition is held. Caribbean Rums are taste tested by some of the worlds leading spirits experts. During the first decade of this most prestigious competition El Dorado 12 Year Rum proudly took home the gold medal on no less than 7 occasions.

El Dorado, the fabled city of riches is embodied in this gold award winning rum, which is a special blend of hand selected demerara rums, the youngest of which is no less than 12 years old. Skillfully combining rums from the Enmore and Diamond Coffey stills, then adding rum from the Port Mourant double wooden still, Eldorado 12 Year is blended to exquisite perfection, then carefully aged in casks that once held premium bourbon.

With a golden character this multi-award winner delivers a nose that is abundant. Lush tropical fruits and spices and entwined around dark brown sugar and sweet honey. Full bodied, it coats the mouth. It is smooth and mellow, its rich flavors envelope the senses. Papaya, Guava and passion fruit. Exotic spices like star anise and vanilla twist around the woody oak tannins. All this comes together magnificently making El Dorado 12 Year a luxurious and hedonistic tasting experience. Then comes the finish; dry, and sweet, captivating you in its sultry elegance.
