As if the 1980 wasn’t flawed sufficient!


Information

Yesterday, I went face to face with the El Dorado 25 yr previous from 1980.
That is its brother from 1986. Not a lot else to say.

When the 1980 was carried out, they made a brand new one, and that is it.
Hopefully it is going to be higher that the 1980.

It begins out otherwise, however not higher. There may be merely lacking loads.
Truly the nostril could be very week and never practically typical Demerara.

It comes off method much less wealthy and full bodied than the 1980, and looks like it’s lacking loads. Simply barely some molasses and dried fruits. Respectable oak and tobacco.

Then a variety of oily notes, earlier than barely reaching for pencil shavings.
And in the long run a bit of piece of buttered toast.

*sigh* Even worse than the 1980.
Extra sugar, however not skinny watery syrup. It is extra like condensed, macerated black grapes and black berry marmelade. There’s a little liquorice beneath together with some fairly current oaks.

Additionally a little bit of candy oranges and moist tobacco.

After which, on the far again, the juice, dried fruits which might be so acquainted to Demeraras. However method too far-off to truly make an affect and even matter.

Quick. Aside from gentle oaken notes, some tannins, and the goddamn sugar bowl.
Probably not one thing to put in writing residence about.
Ranking and remaining ideas
Jesus Christ DDL, you have carried out it once more. One other method to spoil historic rums, which might probably have been nice, had they simply been bottled sugar free and at cask energy.

I ponder if anyone will each do a factor like that … oh wait … someone (plural) did. And made a few of the most superior rums on the planet. Go determine DDL…

Ranking: 62/100
