Georgetown: El Dorado 8 Year Old Rum has “surprised” its competitors by winning the “Best Rum Trophy” at the annual International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC), in London, according to Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL.)
El Dorado Special Reserve 15 Year Old Rum and the El Dorado 12 Year Old both won Gold Outstanding Trophies.
The judges described the El Dorado 15 Year Old as “Deep bronze amber colour. Crêpe Suzette aromas waft, sprinkled with dots of barley sugar and dried pineapple, coconut and papaya. This is a sipping rum, a thinking not drinking glass, pensive, pervasive and ultimately satisfying.”
The El Dorado 21 Year Old evoked the following from the judges: “Dark bronze amber colour. Molasses, smoke, syrup and mocha on the nose. There is a quite pronounced oak influence evident both on the nose and in the mouth but this does not detract from the wonderful character of this product. Enjoy.”
