El Dorado 21 Year Old Special Reserve is an award-winning aged rum from Demerara Distillers in Guyana. Crafted from a blend of traditional rums distilled in antique wooden stills and aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 21 years, it showcases the rich heritage and depth that Guyanese rums are known for. Each component is selected for its structure, aroma, and complexity, creating a spirit that rivals the finest aged whiskies and Cognacs.
Bouquet A deeply aromatic nose full of rich toffee, dark dried fruit and roasted coffee bean. Notes of tobacco, polished wood and spice unfurl alongside molasses, candied orange peel, and warm vanilla.
Palate Opulent and velvety. Layers of dark chocolate, spiced fruitcake, baked fig and caramel lead into a backbone of leather, oak, nutmeg and espresso. The texture is luxuriously smooth, with exceptional depth and a warming, endlessly long finish that evolves with every sip.
Food Pairing A contemplative sipper best enjoyed neat or with a single cube of ice. Pairs beautifully with fine dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or a rich cigar. Also perfect as a luxurious after-dinner drink.
Cellaring Already beautifully matured, this rum will hold its grace for years if stored upright and sealed. A bottle to treasure, gift or savour slowly.
Interesting Fact El Dorado is one of the only rum producers in the world still using heritage wooden stills—some over 200 years old—which impart a unique depth and character that modern stills simply can’t replicate.
