DDL El Dorado High Ester Blend LBI/DHE 2012 11yr 57%
The El Dorado High Ester Blend LBI/DHE is a distinctive rum crafted in Guyana at the Demerara Distillers Ltd. Distilled in 2012 using a John Dore Pot Still and aged for 11 years, it features a 57% ABV. Users note its complex aroma of caramel, vanilla, and dark chocolate, melded with woody and leathery undertones. The flavors linger with rich dark chocolate, vanilla, and caramel, complemented by fruity and cream toffee notes. While some expected a stronger ester presence akin to Jamaican rums, its nuanced profile is likened to Guyanese classics, offering a subtle twist of complexity and depth.

“Finally we have a convincing El Dorado OB again! On the nose the LBI is in the focus with coconut, vanilla, caramel and some chocolate. The DHE adds some glue-y notes and fresh fruits. The blend works very nice on the nose providing a nice and (more) complex twist on a nice Guyana column still nose. On the palate the DHE is more present - some funk and fruit notes alongside vanilla, chocolate and some wood. Nice creamy texture.”

“Nice extension of the El Dorado series. The only thing I don't really understand is the high ester. The label and the description don't deliver what is promised. Apart from that, it's a very successful rum. But it needs a little time in the glass. I think it's very good. As @Basti has already mentioned, there is a slight New Yarmouth parallel. Maybe that's why I like it so much 😉.”
