DDL El Dorado El Dorado Single Barrel Finest Demerara Rum Special Hand Selection The Whisky Exchange 2012
What catches people here is how dark and dessert-like it runs: oak, dark chocolate, tobacco and burnt sugar over a fuller-than-expected mouthfeel, with coffee and dried plum underneath. Several tasters tie it straight to the 2012 LHI/DHE and Pusser's 50th, calling it a touch drier with a coconut note. One member sums it up plainly: "Nice drinkable rum for evening."
- Rich dark chocolate
- Full mouthfeel
- Easy to drink

Dark, sweet Demerara evening sipper A heavy, sweet Demerara that fans of the Guyana style enjoy neat. Most call it refined and easy-drinking; a few note it tastes lightly sweetened and isn't the most complex.

Review by Skyfly
Nach dem 2012er LHI/ DHE ein weiterer Klasse El Dorado. Sehr viel dunkle und süße Aromen mit Dunkler Schokolade, Tabak, Holz, Kaffee und einer Mischung aus braunem Karamell und gebranntem Zucker. Dörrpflaume sorgt für die dezenten Fruchtaromen.
Review by Jakob
In der Nase geprägt von Eichenholz, Schokolade, Tabak und dunklen Gewürzen. Am Gaumen dasselbe Spektrum, erkennbare Würzaromatik gepaart mit schwerer Süsse. Sehr gefälliges Demerara-Profil, dem aber die Komplexität fehlt. Für Liebhaber der schweren, süssen Guyana-Profile ein prima Rum.
Review by David Sharman
Tasted a freshly opened bottle side by side with the Pussers 50th Anniverary and the El Dorado 2012 LHE/DHI, two personal favorites that I previously rated 8.5 and 8.7. This TWE store pick shares a lot of DNA with both of those bottles, so if you enjoy those you'll definitely enjoy this. More refined and complex than the Pussers 50th. Fuller mouthfeel, slightly drier less acidic sweetness than the LBI/DHE with the addition of a coconut note - although nowhere near as coconut forward as most Foursquares. Nice!
