2013 El Dorado, BBR Exclusive Cask, 9-Year-Old, Rum, Guyana (60%)
About this SPIRIT
El Dorado
El Dorado Rum is a Rum produced at Diamond Distillery, the only extant distillery in Guyana. The distillery is located on the outskirts of the capital, Georgetown, just a few yards from the Demerara River.
Once the molasses arrives, everything takes place on the sprawling site, from fermentation (with commendable carbon-capture technology being employed) to final bottling. Within the still house are a veritable cornucopia of stills, ranging from highly efficient multi-column apparatus for producing light-bodied white rums; through to the unique jewels of the ancient wooden stills Versailles (a single wooden pot still), Port Morant (a double wooden pot still) and Enmore (a wooden Coffey still). This irreplaceable range of stills and the skill of the men and women operating them mean that Diamond can produce arguably the broadest range of rums on the planet.

Description
The 9-year-old Single Barrel Rum truly warms the soul. On the nose, all of my favourite creamy and rich desserts come to mind in the form of sticky toffee pudding, Banana foster, crème caramel and everything one might laden with demerara sugar for that matter. On the palate a lovely freshness from fresh mango, orange rind and prunes that move into tropical trail mix and juicy raisins. There is an earthy spiced undertone that lingers on the long finish.
