Uitvlugt & Enmore El Dorado Blended In The Barrel ICBU & EHP 2008
Caramel, honey and burnt sugar lead, with vanilla, wood and a whiff of glue behind them — a soft blend of the Enmore and Uitvlugt stills. Tasters find it rounded and easy to like, with dark chocolate, molasses and dried fruit. The catch comes up again and again: it reads noticeably sweet and turns thin and short on the finish.
The community says- Soft and rounded
- Caramel and honey
- But: Reads very sweet

How does Uitvlugt & Enmore El Dorado Blended In The Barrel ICBU & EHP 2008 taste?
Aggregated from 51 community reviews.
Soft, sweet Demerara with a thin finish Well-liked and pleasantly rounded, with classic Demerara caramel and wood. But most agree it's on the sweet side and fades thin and short — good, not deep.

Review by Frank
Von El Dorado kommen echt gute Abfüllungen, wie die Rare Casks. Mal sehen, was dieser blended in the Barrel aus der Uitvlugt und der Enmore Still kann: Nase: oh ja, vollmundig, weich, würzig und honigsüß. Die Würze ist ein Potpourri aus Holz, süßem Klebstoff, Vanille, Pfeifentabak und Muskat. Viel überwiegender ist allerdings die Süße von Nougat, Honig, gebranntem Zucker und Sahnetoffee. Daneben kommt noch eine feine Fruchtigkeit von Orange und Chirimoya. Total lecker. 8,6 Gaumen: vollmundig und weich auch hier. Würzig-Süß mit Honig, Nougat und Toffee. Deutlich Melasse mit süßer, weicher Lakritze und Tonkabohne. Getrocknete Dattel und Orange neben malziger Milchschokolade und würzigem Sandelholz. Auch echt lecker. Die knapp 48% reichen schon, mehr wie wahrscheinlich noch ein bisschen besser. 8,4
Review by Rodolphe
Rumfest finally gave me the chance to taste these much-maligned bottles. Yes, it's (very) expensive for ten-year-old rum, despite the tropical aging, and that's my biggest complaint. It's quite full-bodied, perhaps a little too much so, given El Dorado's usual caramel character. But in the end, it's good, like El Dorado 21 (2020 version) only a little better. The bottles are pretty close to each other, but they're blends, so that explains it too. All in all, I think these bottles, priced at around €100, would be a good deal for discovering some nice Guyanese blends that are pleasant and accessible, without going for something very specific. Maybe that was the idea, but unfortunately it's too expensive. I place it after the violet.
Review by cigares
Beautiful fruit nose in harmony with scents of old English club, varnished wood, old leather and cold smoke. The palate is smooth and all the aromas arrive at once. They quickly dissolve, leaving elegant wood, candy sugar and ripe banana on the finish. A fine rum with depth and elegance, but with a somewhat hollow finish.
Review by Henry Davies
Caramel and fruit on the nose, delicate with some honey and brown sugar. The mouth is sweet, wood and caramel again hits hard, and immediately feels a tad thin. Wood and spicy earth comes slightly later. The finish is short and too thin to be memorable but brings toffee and vanilla. It’s a good rum but a little too simple and thin to be more than that
Review by w00tAN
Brussels Rhum Festival 2024: In der Nase Honig und Schoko mit schöner Komplexität. Im Mund dann Würzig und süß. Mild aber komplex mit langem Abgang. Am Ende leicht bitter mit Kräuternoten. Schönes Teil
Review by Giorgio Garotti
Sovrasta più enmore rispetto a uitvlugt con sentori molto più marcati di zucchero e legno. Potrebbe essere più interessante ma manca di complessità e di intensità!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very nice blend of sweeter blends of uitvlugt and enmore with a nice fruit and herbal blend. Prune, cocoa, honey, bitter orange etc.... Unfortunately just a bit thin and short on the finish. 🤷🏼♂️
