L'El Dorado Port Mourant Uitvlugt 2010 is an aged rum that embodies the very essence of the legendary distillations of Guyana. This 2010 vintage, cask strength, is a testament to the expertise preserved by the Diamond distillery, the only one still operating in the former British Guiana. Thanks to the legendary wooden stills of Port Mourant and the columns of Uitvlugt, this rum develops a character shaped by history and tradition. Aged for 9 years in casks, it offers a rich aromatic palette.
TASTING NOTES :
NOSE: Upon opening, deep and roasted aromas immediately emerge. After a few moments of aeration, notes of roasted nuts appear, enhanced by hints of coconut, bringing a gourmet and subtly woody touch. A background of licorice and soft spices completes this intensely expressive olfactory profile.
PALATE: The attack is smooth and fluid, gradually unveiling increasing complexity. A rise in intensity occurs, giving way to roasted and woody flavors, with notes of strong coffee, melting vanilla, and coated dried fruits. The toasted woodiness provides a balanced structure, revealing a rum of great depth and harmony.
FINISH: Long and persistent, marked by spicy touches and a beautiful roundness. The oak expresses itself elegantly, with a silky, almost syrupy texture, leaving a delicately smoky trail.
