Production of the Special 15 Years from El Dorado

The Special 15 Years - El Dorado is made from carefully selected raw materials. The base consists of high-quality, fermented, and distilled sugarcane juice cultivated in the Caribbean. In traditional copper pot stills, the master distillers achieve a precise distillation that gives the rum its depth. After the distillation process, the rum ages for at least 15 years in oak barrels that were previously filled with bourbon whiskey. This special aging imparts the Special 15 Years - El Dorado its unique smoothness and variety of aromas, as the rum wonderfully gains character from contact with the wood.
