A Rum of supreme quality. El Dorado 21 year old is an exquisite rum. In this blend of select aged rums, each of the constituent rums is at least 21 years old. Some are much older and can be as old as 25 years. To achieve the superb colour, smooth taste and full fragrant aroma, the rums are matured in 45 gallon oak casks in an ideal natural climate for ageing - within six degrees of the equator on the tropical north coast of South America, blended to perfection by master blenders. This rum is described as having an inviting, rich yet caramel hue. A nose with a degree of complexity allowing one to appreciate the subtle confectioned nuances to linger. The first taste is warm yet silky with a full bodied rich mouth feel. The warmth of alcohol is supported by fine, smooth yet integrated oak allowing the tropical flavours to permeate and take you to a long pleasurable finish. This is designed for the connoisseur of rums who has the time to indulge and appreciate the wonders of this creation. This drink is best savoured on its own. 21 years in the making it deserves time and indulgence. This glorious, full bodied rum of exquisite taste and character is specially and carefully packaged in a gift box and in a bottle inspired by the flasks used by the sugar planters many centuries ago on the banks of the Demerara river, ABV 43%. The El Dorado 21 Year Old rum was awarded the silver medal at the 2003 Internationally Wine and Spirit Competition in London. International Rum Festival 2003, Newfoudland, Canada - Gold Award.
