As if the 1980 wasn’t fallacious sufficient!


Information

Yesterday, I went face to face with the El Dorado 25 12 months outdated from 1980.
That is its brother from 1986. Not a lot else to say.

When the 1980 was accomplished, they made a brand new one, and that is it.
Hopefully it will likely be higher that the 1980.

It begins out in another way, however not higher. There may be merely lacking loads.
Truly the nostril may be very week and never almost typical Demerara.

It comes off means much less wealthy and full bodied than the 1980, and seems like it’s lacking loads. Simply barely some molasses and dried fruits. Respectable oak and tobacco.

Then lots of oily notes, earlier than barely reaching for pencil shavings.
And in the long run a bit of piece of buttered toast.

*sigh* Even worse than the 1980.
Extra sugar, however not skinny watery syrup. It is extra like condensed, macerated black grapes and black berry marmelade. There’s a little liquorice beneath together with some fairly current oaks.

Additionally a little bit of candy oranges and moist tobacco.

After which, on the far again, the juice, dried fruits which are so acquainted to Demeraras. However means too far-off to truly make an affect and even matter.

Brief. Aside from gentle oaken notes, some tannins, and the goddamn sugar bowl.
Not likely one thing to jot down house about.
Score and remaining ideas
Jesus Christ DDL, you have accomplished it once more. One other solution to spoil historic rums, which may presumably have been nice, had they only been bottled sugar free and at cask power.

I ponder if anyone will each do a factor like that … oh wait … any person (plural) did. And made among the most superior rums on the earth. Go determine DDL…

Score: 62/100
