Uitvlugt & Enmore El Dorado Blended In The Barrel ICBU & EHP 2008
Caramel, honey and burnt sugar lead, with vanilla, wood and a whiff of glue behind them — a soft blend of the Enmore and Uitvlugt stills. Tasters find it rounded and easy to like, with dark chocolate, molasses and dried fruit. The catch comes up again and again: it reads noticeably sweet and turns thin and short on the finish.
The community says- Soft and rounded
- Caramel and honey
- But: Reads very sweet

How does Uitvlugt & Enmore El Dorado Blended In The Barrel ICBU & EHP 2008 taste?
Aggregated from 51 community reviews.
Soft, sweet Demerara with a thin finish Well-liked and pleasantly rounded, with classic Demerara caramel and wood. But most agree it's on the sweet side and fades thin and short — good, not deep.

Bau nez de fruits en harmonie avec des senteurs de vieux club anglais, bois verni, vieux cuir et fumée froide. De la vanille et un côté caramel. La bouche est douce et tous les arômes débarquent en même temps. Rapidement ils se dissolvent en reste en finale du boisé élégant, du sucre candi et de la banane mûre. Un beau rhum avec de la profondeur et de l’élégance desservi par une finale un peu creuse.

Very nice blend of sweeter blends of uitvlugt and enmore with a nice fruit and herbal blend. Prune, cocoa, honey, bitter orange etc.... Unfortunately just a bit thin and short on the finish. 🤷🏼♂️
Review by BTHHo 🥃
A very balanced rum with a deep, soft spicy and slightly sweet taste 😋
Review by Rodolphe
Rumfest finally gave me the chance to taste these much-maligned bottles. Yes, it's (very) expensive for ten-year-old rum, despite the tropical aging, and that's my biggest complaint. It's quite full-bodied, perhaps a little too much so, given El Dorado's usual caramel character. But in the end, it's good, like El Dorado 21 (2020 version) only a little better. The bottles are pretty close to each other, but they're blends, so that explains it too. All in all, I think these bottles, priced at around €100, would be a good deal for discovering some nice Guyanese blends that are pleasant and accessible, without going for something very specific. Maybe that was the idea, but unfortunately it's too expensive. I place it after the violet.

Brussels Rhum Festival 2024: Honey and chocolate on the nose with beautiful complexity. Spicy and sweet in the mouth. Mild but complex with a long finish. Slightly bitter at the end with herbal notes. Beautiful piece
Review by Frank
El Dorado produces really good bottlings, like the rare casks. Let's see what this blended in the barrel from the Uitvlugt and the Enmore still can do: Nose: oh yes, full-bodied, smooth, spicy and honeyed. The spice is a potpourri of wood, sweet glue, vanilla, pipe tobacco and nutmeg. However, the sweetness of nougat, honey, burnt sugar and cream toffee is much more predominant. There is also a subtle fruitiness of orange and chirimoya. Totally delicious. 8.6 Palate: full-bodied and soft here too. Spicy-sweet with honey, nougat and toffee. Clearly molasses with sweet, soft liquorice and tonka bean. Dried dates and orange alongside malty milk chocolate and spicy sandalwood. Also really tasty. The almost 48% is enough, more is probably a bit better. 8,4
Review by Henry Davies
Caramel and fruit on the nose, delicate with some honey and brown sugar. The mouth is sweet, wood and caramel again hits hard, and immediately feels a tad thin. Wood and spicy earth comes slightly later. The finish is short and too thin to be memorable but brings toffee and vanilla. It’s a good rum but a little too simple and thin to be more than that
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow, also Enmore und Uitvlugt in eins gefällt mir :) Die Modrigkeit des Uitvlugt ist nur leicht vorhanden, daher ist er eher leicht süßlich, vor allem Vanille und Karamell sind erkennbar, etwas Holz allerdings auch.
Review by Motvind
Doft och smak från trä, vanilj, läder, mogen frukt och kryddor..
Review by Stefan L
Too sweet and too weak for my taste, but not a bad rum.
Review by Oliver
Remarkably sweet. Has sugar been added here?
Review by Giorgio Garotti
It overpowers more enmore than uitvlugt with much more pronounced hints of sugar and wood. Could be more interesting but lacks complexity and intensity!
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
🥃 Retour sur un sample que le poto Boris m'a gentiment partagé ! El Dorado Uitvlugt / Enmore 2008 – 47,4 % Ce n'est pas un embouteillage récent, mais je n'avais encore jamais eu l'occasion de le découvrir. Il faut dire que cette série n'a jamais vraiment suscité l'enthousiasme qu'avait provoqué la très réussie Rare Collection, avec des références devenues cultes comme les Skeldon ou Albion. Pour cette gamme, El Dorado a tenté une approche différente : assembler les distillats avant leur vieillissement. Les différents rhums sont donc élevés ensemble dans le même fût, une philosophie qui rappelle certains assemblages de Velier, comme le superbe Enmore & Port Mourant 1998. Pour ce millésime 2008, on retrouve un mariage entre une colonne française Savalle (Uitvlugt) et la célèbre colonne Coffey en bois d'Enmore. Ici, pas de pot still : 100 % colonne. 👃 Nez De la noix de coco, de la noix fraîche et cette trame gourmande qui évoque certains rhums du Belize. 👅 Bouche Très ronde, presque crémeuse. On pense immédiatement au caramel au lait, avec des raisins secs qui apportent une belle gourmandise. 🏁 Finale Douce, sur la mélasse et le caramel, avec une texture toujours très soyeuse. On retrouve sans difficulté la signature typique des Demerara... mais aussi cette sensation persistante de sucre ajouté qui tapisse la langue. Cela rend le rhum particulièrement accessible, mais gomme aussi une bonne partie de son relief et de sa personnalité. Au final, c'est un rhum agréable, facile à boire et sans véritable défaut... mais il ne m'a jamais réellement fait vibrer. À un tarif qui tourne autour de 170 €, j'en attendais clairement davantage. À ce niveau de prix, il existe selon moi des Demerara bien plus marquants.
Review by Александр Иванов
Two legendary stills: Enmore + Uitvlught. Nose: sweet. Dominate of the dark chocolate, woody, molasses, caramel, burnt sugar. After, you can find walnut, cigars, citrus marmalade and dark honey. Palate: first one, it's looking like simple rum – sweet, molasses, caramel, burnt sugar, nutmeg & woody notes. Then, you can feel the dark honey, cinnamon, licorice & tobacco. Aftertaste: long, dark chocolate, woody, demerara sugar.

Very tasty, but a bit on the expensive side
