El Dorado Single Still 2009 Enmore 40%

The Doorly's 12 years, an iconic product of the Foursquare distillery in Barbados, embodies the art of rum distillation and blending. This exceptional rum is the result of careful twelve-year maturation in the tropics, in barrels that previously contained Kentucky bourbon and Madeira.
This double distillation, using both pot still and column still, gives this rum unmatched aromatic complexity and finesse.

Yerba mate tea is an iconic beverage of Argentina, which is why we wanted to include it in our Gran Chaco Argentina rum. For this version of the rum, we drew inspiration from the nature and lush landscapes of Argentina. The patterns on our bottle trace the path of nature, at the heart and source of our production: from the earth, where the rich flora of the Gran Chaco is rooted, to the sky. The design also evokes serenity and the call of the night: through the deep blue of the bottle, it reflects the sun setting behind the mountains and the phases of the moon and sun.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE Stewed plums and poached pears with a hint of Christmas spices.

PALATE Very rich and mouth-coating, with layers of flavour. Opening with initial plum fruitiness and a caramel sweetness married with figs and dates and a touch of nuttiness.

FINISH Full bodied with an explosion of banana bread and a lingering hint of spice.
