Unfortunately my local Cadenhead's shop doesn't stock the Classic rum or the 1824 cask :( Perhaps I should have a chat with them about it.Henrik K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18075077518260303764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615309077301236639.post-91274645128723817822015-08-20T17:20:12.469+02:002015-08-20T17:20:12.469+02:00Probably didn't realise Lance my taste has cha...Probably didn't realise Lance my taste has changed in just over a year! What I once thought as not so sweet is no like a sugar rush! I echo Lance's sentiments though this is one of the few Rum Review blogs I read.<br /><br />Anyway the point of me posting.......ahhh yes. If you can get a hold of Cadenheads Classic Rum and/or the 1824 cask Henrik (and Lance) then give them a spin. At 50% and 68% respectively they have more kick. Surprisngly both are pretty "sweet" as well. I really enjoy both and have championed them to a few people who have agreed with me. They are really good.<br /><br />I haven't published the 1824 review yet but here is the Classic Rum Review<br /><br />http://thefatrumpirate.com/cadenheads-classic-rumfatrumpiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923752498932457092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615309077301236639.post-52972660328174178912015-08-20T15:24:54.604+02:002015-08-20T15:24:54.604+02:00The ED15 has better value for money than the ED21 ...The ED15 has better value for money than the ED21 in my book.<br /><br />Perhaps the ED15 is even a bit more casual to drink - possibly because of the increase in added sugar (the ED15 has more than twice the added sugar).<br /><br />But if money weren't an issue, I think I would prefer the ED21 :)Henrik K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18075077518260303764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615309077301236639.post-11562953880823671252015-08-20T15:22:16.016+02:002015-08-20T15:22:16.016+02:00Thank you for the compliments, Lance.
My review h...Thank you for the compliments, Lance.<br /><br />My review has been a long time underway with many revisits before the conclusion was made.<br /><br />I remember my first encounter with it at a time when I was in a sweeter fase. The thing which stood out the most was the dryness, and at that time it didn't feel sweet compared to the other products I enjoyed.<br /><br />However as time went by, it seemed to become more and more sweet, as my personal preference moved away from the sweetened products and in to cask strength territory.<br /><br />So I guess the broader spectrum of reference has made it seem more sweet.Henrik K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18075077518260303764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615309077301236639.post-81209666962801005592015-08-20T15:02:09.648+02:002015-08-20T15:02:09.648+02:00Great write up.

I'm beginning to wonder if the recipe has been mucked around with over the five years since then. Of course, I was just starting out then too, so what do I know?<br /><br />Also: many West Indian rums are bottled at 40% for the American market, and 43% for Europe. If you think the ED21 at 43% could have been more torqued up, don't ever go neat the 40% variation. Still annoys me every time I think about it.Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373839198988093912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615309077301236639.post-13185614094498037502015-08-20T05:33:53.469+02:002015-08-20T05:33:53.469+02:00If I'm being honest, I think I prefer the tast...If I'm being honest, I think I prefer the taste of the ElDo 15. The smaller price tag is icing on the cake. :) Nice write up!Mike Czyzewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149261987980890652noreply@blogger.com
