Rum Nook: Overview R3 – El Dorado 25 12 months previous (1986)

Yesterday, I went face to face with the El Dorado 25 12 months previous from 1980.
That is its brother from 1986. Not a lot else to say.

When the 1980 was accomplished, they made a brand new one, and that is it.
Hopefully will probably be higher that the 1980.

It begins out in another way, however not higher. There may be merely lacking lots.
Truly the nostril could be very week and never almost typical Demerara.

It comes off approach much less wealthy and full bodied than the 1980, and looks like it’s lacking lots. Simply barely some molasses and dried fruits. Respectable oak and tobacco.

Then quite a lot of oily notes, earlier than barely reaching for pencil shavings.
And in the long run slightly piece of buttered toast.

*sigh* Even worse than the 1980.
Extra sugar, however not skinny watery syrup. It is extra like condensed, macerated black grapes and black berry marmelade. There’s a little liquorice beneath together with some fairly current oaks.

Additionally a little bit of candy oranges and moist tobacco.

After which, on the far again, the juice, dried fruits which are so acquainted to Demeraras. However approach too distant to truly make an affect and even matter.

Quick. Aside from delicate oaken notes, some tannins, and the goddamn sugar bowl.
Probably not one thing to write down dwelling about.

Score and closing ideas

Jesus Christ DDL, you have accomplished it once more. One other approach to spoil historic rums, which may presumably have been nice, had they only been bottled sugar free and at cask power.

I ponder if anyone will each do a factor like that … oh wait … someone (plural) did. And made a few of the most superior rums on the planet. Go determine DDL…
