Rum Nook: Evaluate R3 – El Dorado 25 yr previous (1986)

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

When the 1980 was performed, 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’s merely lacking loads.
Really the nostril could be very week and never practically typical Demerara.

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

Then lots of oily notes, earlier than barely reaching for pencil shavings.
And in the long run somewhat 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 manner too far-off to truly make an impression and even matter.

Quick. Aside from gentle oaken notes, some tannins, and the goddamn sugar bowl.
Probably not one thing to put in writing residence about.

Score and last ideas

Jesus Christ DDL, you’ve got performed it once more. One other option to spoil historical rums, which may probably have been nice, had they only been bottled sugar free and at cask energy.

I’m wondering if anyone will each do a factor like that … oh wait … any person (plural) did. And made among the most superior rums on the earth. Go determine DDL…
