El Dorado 21 Year Old Special Reserve Rum Tasting Notes
Nose: Buttery, with chocolatey notes of Rolos behind it. Ripe banana and fruity Christmas cake. Hints of tobacco and sandalwood, leading into spent match smokiness.
Palate: Sultanas, dates, blackcurrant and macadamia nuts. A touch of rosewater, too. The mid-palate brings dark chocolate and nutmeg too.
Finish: It just keeps going! There’s fried banana and handfuls of raisin notes right through to the end, with just a little hint of spicy cinnamon.
