A White Rum with Three Years Behind It
Most white rums are unaged; El Dorado's 3 Year Old is aged in small ex-bourbon casks and only turned white afterward, filtered twice through natural charcoal to strip the color while keeping the character. That gives a mixing rum with real depth — citrus and vanilla on the nose, coconut and tropical fruit on the palate — rather than a neutral blank slate. It is the white entry point of the El Dorado range, "Rum with soul" from Guyana's sole rum distiller. Shop the rum collection at Del Mesa Liquor, compare white rums, or explore El Dorado.
Tasting Notes
Fresh and lightly sweet on the nose — vanilla, cane sugar, honey, soft citrus, green apple and gentle spice, with chocolate and raisin depth. The palate is smooth and clean: light caramel, vanilla, sugarcane, fresh citrus and subtle oak, with coconut and tropical fruit. A short-to-medium clean, refreshing finish with gentle sweetness and a light dry close.
How to Enjoy
This is your upgrade bottle for Daiquiris, Mojitos and Rum Punch — aged character that unaged whites can't match. Sip it over ice if you want the oak to show.
