El Dorado 18 Year Bourbon and Oloroso Cask Finish Rum

The 18 Year Bourbon & Oloroso finish is El Dorado meeting Jerez — a Special Reserve release that gives eighteen-year Demerara rum a second maturation in sherry wood. Demerara Distillers Limited makes it at the last distillery in Guyana, at Plantation Diamond on the Demerara River, where the country's heritage stills were consolidated: rum from the Enmore wooden Coffey still, the Port Mourant double wooden pot still, and the Versailles single wooden pot still, tropically aged eighteen years in ex-bourbon oak, then finished in Oloroso sherry casks from Spain before bottling at around 43% ABV in a limited release; check your label. Since 2020 DDL has reformulated its range with the added sugar removed. Eighteen tropical years already puts this deep into dried-fruit, tobacco, and oak territory, and the Oloroso cask leans into it: expect a nose of raisin, fig, walnut, dark chocolate, and the nutty oxidation of sherry over molasses and heavily toasted wood, opening into a dense, layered palate where the Port Mourant funk has mellowed into something savory and smoky, the sherry adding dried fruit and a faint saline dryness, finishing very long. Honest note: a collector's Special Reserve, priced between the 15 and the 21, for drinkers who love the 15 and want the sherry-cask angle. In a snifter, neat, with a cigar or a slow evening.
