How does this rum taste?
The El Dorado Special Cask Finish Madeira Sweet Casks rum is distilled at Guyana's Uitvlugt distillery, undergoing a 15-year maturation in double casks, originating from molasses via a pot still. Bottled at 57.3% ABV, it features a robust woody and caramel aroma complemented by notes of vanilla and dried fruit. On the palate, it exhibits a diverse profile dominated by woody and caramel flavors with an oily texture and hints of raisin. While the Madeira cask enhances the rum’s complexity, some users feel it overshadows the original essence. This cask-strength rum is reminiscent of the bold character of vintage 1970s rums, offering a layered and aromatic experience for adventurous palates. Perfect for those seeking embedded fruitiness with potent aromatics.

"Retasting at the German Rum Fest 2023. ----- I like drinking Madeira as well and it's definitely in the profile and a bit too dominant in my opinion. Fruity with roasted wood and nicely oily on the palate. Draws really nice curtains in the glass."

"A nose of varnished, encaustic wood, cracked old leather and tropical fruit. The palate hesitates between brown sugar/caramel and old wood, which takes over and you have to look for the fruit. The finish is rather long but monolithic (woody). The empty glass is more balanced and finally brings to mind a great Demerara, but alas, it's a long way off."

"I just don't understand all the finishes. The base fabric would probably be pretty good! You can guess it. But the finish rather slays the rum."

"Guyana and DDL are among the rum producers that have a certain recognizability / DNA. This usually works very well with El Dorado, even with alternative cask maturations. Here, however, the Madeira Sweet Cask flattens the original product somewhat, which is a shame. The "original" comes through again slightly after some time in the glass, but Guyana fans may not really enjoy it. Incidentally, I wouldn't call this a finish, as the rum has been in both casks for roughly the same length of time, so it's more like double cask ageing."
