EL DORADO 21 YR. RUM
SKU: 730868
- Country of Origin: Guyana, specifically the Demerara region.
- Alcohol Volume (ABV): 43% ABV, though some markets carry a 40% ABV version.
- Sugar Content (g/L): Lab and hydrometer tests typically show between 16 g/L and 33 g/L
Pairing & Mixing Recommendations: - Savory: The rum's bold, woody character pairs exceptionally well with grilled steak or other fatty red meats, which balance the tannins.
- Cheese: Creamy and complex cheeses like Brie, Blue cheese, and Aged Gouda offer a rich contrast.
- Sweet: It is a natural companion for dark chocolate (ideally 60%+ cocoa) and desserts like Bananas Foster, pecan pie, or Christmas black cake.
- Fruits: Dried fruit platters featuring apricots, figs, and raisins harmonize with the rum's natural profile.
Mixing Recommendations:
Given its age and price point, this is primarily a sipping rum. However, if used in cocktails, stick to spirit-forward recipes: - Rum Old Fashioned: Use minimal sweetener (like a bar spoon of demerara syrup) to avoid overpowering the rum's existing sweetness.
- Negroni Dominicana: The fruitiness of the rum can act as a sophisticated base for a rum-based Negroni variant.
