So, I finally purchased this instead of my go to 15yr old seeing quite few reviews rave about this. After trying several glasses of this in my opinion it just isn't quite there. It needs the extra 3yrs of aging that makes the 15yr old stand out. The price was right at $30 but I will be back to the 15yr old immediately for the extra $15. You get what you pay for!
This rum is a pleasure for the taste buds.
I highly recommend it.

Strong Oak. Not a sweet Kindergartener sipping rum (which I enjoy). Great dark sugar Demerara flavor. Can't wait to try 15+++

It's very intelligent on the nose, well balanced on palate. Best for me at this moment
Very smooth, with great notes, but boy it's sweet. For me definitely too much. If someone likes things that sweet, definitely should try.

This is my favourite of El Dorado's offerings. I have had a bottle of the 21 more recently but found it nice but not as interesting. The 12 has notes of cinnamon, banana and other spices that blend very nicely together. It could come across as strongly flavoured and not as refined, but I think it has definite character.

Good darker rum with sweet smell. It does not have strong alcohol taste but strong sugarry and a bit smoky smell.

This rum is one of if not the best rums I've had, and has amazingly sweet notes of fruits, vanilla and molasses. It's also fairly cheap, at $45CAD per bottle. It easily rivals rums at double its price point.

Too much sugar for me, but if your into the smooth and sweet your going to like it. Think the opposite of funky dry Jamaican. If your idea of rum is a mixed cocktail but would like to have a sipping neat rum this is probably a safe bet.
Once was enough for me, I'll never buy it again.
