The El Dorado 2010 Port Mourant Uitvlugt Diamond, also known as "Blended in the Barrel," is a remarkable molasses rum hailing from the legendary Demerara region of Guyana. This unique rum is a blend of spirits from various renowned stills, including the Port Mourant Wooden Double Pot Still, Uitvlugt Continuous Savalle Still, and Diamond Continuous Coffey Still. These distillates were combined immediately after distillation and then aged together for nine years in ex-bourbon casks, resulting in a harmonious and complex flavor profile.
Crafted by Demerara Distillers Ltd, this rum is characterized by its mineral, copper, and fruity notes, attributes typical of the Port Mourant still. The aroma is marked by toasty, rounded notes such as well-roasted, caramel-coated pecans, complemented by a hint of vegetal and resinous freshness. As the rum aerates, the smoke and roast notes become more pronounced, creating a rich caramelization character while the fruit tones take a backseat.
The taste experience is intricate and full-bodied, featuring a delightful blend of caramel, honey, vanilla, and molasses, accented by a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg spice. The finish is long-lasting and memorable, with a subtle bitterness from walnuts, hazelnuts, and licorice, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
This limited edition rum is bottled at cask strength without chill filtration, showcasing the traditional styles of the now-closed distilleries preserved by the Diamond Distillery. Presented in a 700 ml bottle with an ABV of 49.6%, this premium rum is a testament to the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the El Dorado brand.

This rum has received mixed reviews. Some highlight its exciting blend, with Diamond contributing sweetness and caramel, Port Mourant adding herbs and spice, and Uitvlugt bringing a distinctive bitter and woody pencil shaving note. It’s considered a good entry rum into the Guyana world, praised for its balance and complexity, making it the best of the "Blended in the Barrel" editions for some.
However, others feel it is a step back from previous editions, noting that while it captures the essence of Demerara, the blend may have been improved if the distillates were matured individually. The price is also a point of contention, with some reviewers considering it too high for a rum of this age, despite its tropical aging and unique blend.
Overall, while it may not completely satisfy those looking for a singularly distinct experience, it remains a well-crafted rum that combines the best elements of its constituent stills into a pleasing and accessible blend.
