El Dorado 12-Year

Bought this as the same time as Diplomatico and though both are definitely good rums this was slightly behind the Venezuelan rum.

Good for taking the edge off after a long day. Great straight or for a fancy mixer.

A solid thicker more involving rum. Sweeter and a bit lighter (but more vibrant) on the nose than the 15, but with less oak, more fruit and a bit of an aftertaste. N: thicker molasses, sweet. T/F: sweeter, mid-spicy, ends sweet if a tad bit flat

This was great so easy to drink . I nearly could just drink straight from the bottle

Surprised to find this better than the 15. Suspiciously smooth, but I didn’t look into that - like what you like. Fruit and honey. Minimal punch. Light heat. More complex than just barrel notes.

Quality rum. Goes down smooth. My fav to drink when in Guyana

Nice color and smell, fruit and spices, taste really good, nice and smooth, sweetnes in the middle, not high not low, fruit, psices and barrel at the end. Good drink for good value, recomended

No crazy flavors here, no spice or fruit. Only a full molasses flavor with a hint of sweetness. I've had many whiskeys sweeter than this. This is exactly what I would recommend to someone wanting to try rum for the first time. Simple, yet refined. A good base to compare others to.

First bottle of proper rum I ever bought. A little heat, a little caramel, some tropical fruit as well, hard to put it down for the price.

This is one of my all time favorites and go to rums! Never disappoints!! A lovely rum to sip neat or a little ice!
