Distiller Notes
The El Dorado Single Still Port Mourant Rum is produced from the Double Wooden Pot Still which is the only one of its kind in use today. Constructed in 1732 on the Port Mourant Estate, this still was later moved to the Uitvlugt Estate and then to Diamond Estate in 2000.
Since then, the Double Wooden Pot Still has been producing small batches of this El Dorado Heritage Rum. This rum was laid down in oak barrels for 12 years.
Experience its robust flavours with aromas of sweet baked apples mixed with slight vanilla and cinnamon, flambée banana and coconut with hints of peaty aromas.
Often referred to as a Gold Rum, an Aged Rum is one that has been aged in barrels, often Ex-Bourbon or White Oak before bottling. As the Rum continues to age, it draws more and more color and flavor from the wood, adding both body and complexity to the finished product. Aged Rums can be sipped neat or added to cocktails. They fall somewhere in between White and Dark Rums in terms of their respective strength of flavor.
