Overview

Lively with a dried tropical fruit nose with aromas of caramel, butterscotch and molasses. A vibrant spicy entry leads to an evolving palate of fruit, caramel and toasted coconut, fading to a vanilla-tinted glow.

This remarkably developed and complex medium-aged rum has a distinctive delicate taste and is aged for a minimum of 5 years in bourbon oak barrels. Its unique character comes from the skillful blending of traditional aged rums from the Uitvlugt Savalle Still and the Enmore wooden Coffey Still. Exceptionally versatile, it can be enjoyed straight, on the rocks or for creating premium cocktails.

Reviews

A truly wonderful rum.

"I searched far and wide for a good demerrera rum from Guyana, and this one is ideal. I don't drink rum straight; instead, I like to mix it with Gosling's Ginger Beer, which is my preferred brand. It creates a beautiful and delicious dark and stormy. really cooling on a hot afternoon."

— Idris. B. (5/5)

Superb Value for Money

"My friends and family commented that when I put this up against other rums in a cocktail (The "Lost Lake" - house beverage from Chicago bar of the same name), this consistently won. Guyana rums, which are made near the Demerara River, are quite distinct and tasty because they have a certain depth and funkiness. Most people tend to purchase other "popular" rums, but this one is unquestionably WAY BETTER. I now use this rum exclusively to make Lost Lakes, and I'm also going to give it a shot in a Painkiller."

— Arrran D. (5/5)

Superior Quality for a Steal

"Compare this to Captain Morgan or Bacardi to see what swill those brands are. So many upscale cocktail bars utilize this as their house rum. No reason why you can't follow suit."

A Decent, Affordable A Rum

""It has aromas of vanilla and caramel, traces of fruit, and just a slight alcohol burn on the finish. El Dorado 5 is a fantastic aged rum, at a relatively low price point. It's far better than Bacardi Anejo, and definitely the greatest aged rum at its price point. Though 5 is simply very good, I think 5 sit in somewhat strange place between excellent 3 (which is white rum)) and excellent 8 (which is considerably more), but it is still very good. It is still very good. It is still very good. It is still very good. I think 5 sit in somewhat strange place between excellent 3 (which is white rum) but considerably more. but 5 but excellent I've yet to compare it to the Plantation 5, which might be superior but costs a little more money. ""

Fantastic, Affordable Rum

"For the price, this is an excellent rum. sugar and Unlike standard rum, this one has a ton more flavor. Though it will cost you roughly 50% more, their 8-year-old is even better."
