This one was a disappointment.. The taste of oak trashed this one for me.. Strong taste of the rum but i´ll stick with the 15 years in my cabinet.

I had heard so much good about this rum, so my expectations were very high. It is indeed a quality sipper, but for me it just isn't up there with the best. I prefer more heavy and thick rums like the Abuelo Centuria.

A more refined, mellow and complex version of the 12 and 15 combined sans the smokiness from the 15. Mixed fruits and spicy oak, dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee and a long fruity finish. Unfortunately, as with the 12 and 15 is has sugar added, and lots of it.... I hope DDL changes that and stop adding sweetener to their rums! not counting in the special cask varieties here because they are pure rums and the best DDL have made in the El Dorado range in my opinion.

A really nice, complex demerara rum. Though, pretty pricey compared to its younger brother totally worth it. For me a must have if you enjoy heavy dark rums and especially for those who liked the 12 or 15y El Dorado.

For me, one of the best rum that I've tried!

Nekem ez már túl száraz, jérge öntve még durvább. Aki a száraz rumokat szereti, annak nagyon ajánlom!

In a good way. I was afraid they ruined it with too much sugar, but they did not and it is a pleasant sipper. Not worth the price maybe, but can't deny this one an 8.

The 21 seems to have a heavier taste than the 15 and is a little more complex but for me the sweetness is not doing it any favors as I think it takes away from what could be a truly fantastic rum. I like it but I sure am glad I did not spend the $$$$ on a bottle and instead had a large glass at the KB Pub in Longyearbyen, Norway. Sorry for poor photo but the pub is fashioned after a coal mine and is quite dark. On top of that I had a few rums so that might not have helped either

It's a bit sharper then my usual preferred rum. The smell is a bit harsh with alcohol, wood and citrus, some vanilla.

The first sipp is also a bit harsh with a slight burn down the throat. Tastes a bit oaky with some smoke.

A bit disappointing, at this price I would expect something more exciting.
