I would be absolutely blind here with a Foursquare or NY. I can taste little to no Guyana, not at all from Uitvlugt. Only slightly Demerara in the finish. But that doesn't affect the taste. I find it delicious and very good.

Un nez de bois verni et encaustiqué, vieux cuir craquelé, caramel et fruits tropicaux. La bouche, un peu creuse, diluée, hésite entre le sucre brun/caramel et le vieux bois qui prend le dessus et il faut chercher les fruits. La finale est plutôt longue mais monolithique (boisé). Le verre vide est plus équilibré et fait enfin penser à un grand Demerara, mais on en est hélas, pour le reste, bien loin. Regoûté et ce n’est vraiment pas un rhum qui me plaît.

Retasting at the German Rum Fest 2023. ----- I like drinking Madeira as well and it's definitely in the profile and a bit too dominant in my opinion. Fruity with roasted wood and nicely oily on the palate. Draws really nice curtains in the glass.

Surprisingly delicious on the nose with lots of vanilla, dried & candied fruits, leather, oak, caramel in various degrees of roast as well as some varnish and polish. Then a little more Madeira influence on the palate - but not as bad/sweet as I had feared. As the first in the series, it tastes quite good to me. But it would probably have been even better without the finish.

I just don't understand all the finishes. The base fabric would probably be pretty good! You can guess it. But the finish rather slays the rum.

8,5:On the nose, roasted wood notes, brown, like nuts, pastry, caramel, toffee, sweet Madeira wine fruits with raisins, prunes, dried apricots and cherries, nail polish, solvents, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, citrus and candied fruits, dried figs join, leather, dark chocolate, Demerara sugar and vanilla, molasses is dark with licorice, black tea, earthy with tobacco, flowery. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is oily and dry with Madeira barrel impact, roasted wood notes like caramel, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, Demerara sugar, pastry, spicy with vanilla, allspice and hints of umami, fruity with raisins, dried apricots, orange and grapes, when well aired, red fruits, dried figs, candied fruits, as molasses is dark with licorice, black tea, earthy, musty. 8,4:The finish is long, dry&tannic, slightly sulphurous, Madeira barrel impact is complementing Demerara Rum nicely.

Im Test heute die Last Cask Serie von El Dorado RX6784 RX13225 RX13396 RX5449 RX3456 und RX6785. Zusammen gefasst alles recht solide Abfüllungen die aber leider nicht unbedingt die Erwartungen erfüllt haben. Die Preisgestaltung meines Erachtens ein wenig zu hoch.

Guyana and DDL are among the rum producers that have a certain recognizability / DNA. This usually works very well with El Dorado, even with alternative cask maturations. Here, however, the Madeira Sweet Cask flattens the original product somewhat, which is a shame. The "original" comes through again slightly after some time in the glass, but Guyana fans may not really enjoy it. Incidentally, I wouldn't call this a finish, as the rum has been in both casks for roughly the same length of time, so it's more like double cask ageing.
