The El Dorado Rum Blended in the Barrel 2008 Uitvlugt Enmore Limited Edition is a unique and fascinating rum from Guyana, produced by Demerara Distillers Ltd. This 11-year-old rum is a blend of two distinct distillates: one from the Continuous Savalle Still of the former Uitvlugt Distillery and the other from the Continuous Wooden Coffey Still of the now-closed Enmore Distillery. Distilled separately in 2008, these components were aged for eleven years in American bourbon barrels under tropical conditions in Guyana before being combined and bottled in 2019 as a limited edition with a relatively high alcohol content of 47.4%. The rum underwent no chill filtration, preserving its rich and authentic flavor.
The aroma and flavor profile of this dark rum are complex and multifaceted. On the nose, it offers sweet notes of honey, molasses, and tropical fruits, complemented by spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, as well as the bitter charm of licorice and dark chocolate. The palate mirrors these characteristics, presenting a warm, slightly sweet, and bitter taste that is both elegant and powerful. The finish is characterized by notes of wood, molasses, and a hint of feinherb cocoa.
This rum is a product of a unique blending process that took place directly in the barrel, followed by a shared aging period. The best qualities of the Uitvlugt and Enmore distilleries are harmoniously brought together in this intriguing blend, resulting in a pleasant and accessible taste profile.
The El Dorado Uitvlugt Enmore 2008 Blue is a molasses-based rum distilled at Diamond in Guyana, featuring soft, toasty American oak and typical vanilla flavors. The pronounced nut notes are coated with caramel and molasses, resulting in a smooth and slightly round texture. The Enmore column's heyday is evoked in this expression, with a handful of nuts coated in still-steaming caramel, igniting the white wood and making it vibrant.
This exceptional rum was created by selecting specific rum marques from the Uitvlugt Continuous Savalle Still and the Enmore Wooden Continuous Coffey Still in 2008. The ICBU, GS/20, and EHP marques were blended in the barrel directly after distillation and then aged for 11 years in ex-bourbon barrels. The result is a beautifully balanced rum that showcases the distinct flavors of both the Uitvlugt and Enmore distilleries.

Overall: The El Dorado 2008 Uitvlugt Enmore offers a layered and complex flavor profile with a sweet and spicy character but lacks a prolonged finish.
This rum has received mixed reviews. Some appreciate its balanced blend of fruit and herb flavors, such as dried plum, cocoa, honey, and bitter orange. The pronounced sweetness and caramel notes are characteristic of El Dorado, making it comparable to the El Dorado 21 (2020 version), but slightly better. However, some reviewers feel that the rum could benefit from more complexity and intensity, noting a somewhat thin and short finish. Despite its high price, it is considered a pleasant and accessible blend, ideal for those looking to explore Guyanese rums.
