El Dorado Port Mourant Uitvlugt Diamond 2010 Blended in the Barrel Demerara Rum

Part of the ‘Blended in the Barrel’ series from El Dorado Rum, this Limited Edition is the Port Mourant Uitvlugt Diamond release.
The traditional way of blending at Demerara Distillers is ‘blending after aging’, the rum being first ripens in the barrel, before being mixed. In contrast to this traditional way, the ‘Blended in the Barrel’ range offers a unique opportunity to experience a non-traditional way of blending. The individual marques are in fact mixed immediately after distillation and matured as a blend. All four different expressions are aged in ex-bourbon barrels under tropical conditions in the Demerara warehouses in Guyana.
Port Mourant Uitvlugt Diamond was distilled in 2010, placed in ex-bourbon barrels and matured for over nine years before being bottled in 2019 at cask strength.

    Nose:    Honey, molasses, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg, with hints of liquorice, walnuts and hazelnuts.

    Taste:    Sweet notes of rich molasses, honey and caramel, vanilla and roasted nuts.

    Finish:   Sweet with exotic fruits and endless molasses.
