There are better rums. There are cheaper rums. But for the price (<$30), this is the finest rum you can buy. Great starter, delicious sipper. Neat, or on ice. Wonderful. Light taste, slightly sweet, smooth. Delicious aroma. Magnificent nose. There's always a bottle of ED12 in my cupboard.

A downgraded El Dorado 15, a definite upgrade from its 8 year old brother. The alcohol is much more emphasized than in the 15 but still what I could qualify as ok for sipping. Sweet enough to not be confused with random moonshine branded as rum, but not one of those perfectly engineered blends, not that I personally have any problems with a good blend.

For as strong as the sherry nose it has, it is not as sweet as I expected, which is a good thing. There is some nice oak and spice on the tongue and a smooth, enjoyable finish. But it definitely does have its sweet moments, but nothing too strong. I especially love the bottle. It looks like something that would wash up on the beach from a pirate ship wreck. Have only drank it neat, but would love to try it in my Mai Tai recipe and in an old fashioned. Good staple bottle for a rum collection.

Ár/érték arányban az egyik legjobb ital.
Harmónikus,hosszú lecsengésű.
Nem a legszofisztikáltabb rum a piacon,de nagyon kellemes az íze.

Initial thoughts include spicy, with notes of cinnamon and vanilla. This was a Christmas sale purchase that has delighted me over and over.

I managed to find this rum for$24.99 at Christmas, and took a shot on it due to its low price. I was very surprised with the wonderful flavors and complex eww city of this drink, and enjoy it both neat and with mix.

While not as complex as some others (see my review on Lemon Hart 1804), it has a delightful flavor and very pleasant nose. Notes of pepper and cinnamon, as well as vanilla and a not overpowering sweetness make this one another staple in my cabinet.

Certainly appreciable neat, it has a wonderful complexity and is also simple at the same time. The flavors present are not overly deep or complex, but rather they are solid and pleasant in their balance. Truly one of the first really high quality rums that I stumbled upon with a terrific experience to price ratio.

If you are new to rums and are looking to elevate your experience, this is a wonderful way to grow your experience and enjoy some truly great flavor at the same time.

A very interesting complicated rum, with heavy oak taste and strong aftertaste. Pricey otherwise definitely a 8/10

Very respectable Rum but too sweet to be a favorite. I would serve it to my friends, but not my best friends.
