Rich and smooth with a woody influenced finish. Lots of vanilla and Demerara notes.

Sampled at the Laka Lono Rum Club Tasting on 6/30/21. Pours brown in color. Pronounced molasses and caramel and brown sugar. All jumps out in the aroma. Thick as pancake syrup. The flavor is absolute single malt whiskey. Big dollop of demerara sugar. Mint flavors and spruce. Damn.

WOW- I have tried the 12 year old El Dorado in the past, but this is on another level, quite simply the smoothest rum i have ever tasted, not at all overly sweet, amazing aroma and a burst of flavour before sliding effortlessly down the gullet with no appreciable alcohol burn before warming the stomach, lovely stuff.

($70 CAD) I was super pumped to finally grab a bottle of this once it went on sale. El Dorado 12 was my first real rum and the 15 was fantastic. I've had my eye on the 21 ever since.

It smells like loads of ripe fruit and a bit of leather or pepper. It definitely has some layers, even just from the smell.

The taste seems to come through opposite with more leather or tobacco upfront, then the rush of fruit comes shortly after: bananas, melons and citrus. No bite, just great flavour.

Referring to the fat rum pirate's hydrometer tests, the 12 has 39g/L sugar added, 15 has 31 and the 21 has 22. The 21still has quite a bit of sugar added, but it is not nearly as sweet as the 12 which, in my opinion, allows the rum to come through more. It is most definitely a favourite of mine and confirms my thought that El Dorado is my favourite brand.

All in all, if you liked the 12 & 15, you'll love the 21. It's super fun and easy to drink. Watch yourself with this one, it could be dangerous.

Superb, I like this rum the best of the the 12, 15 and 21. The thing that puts it in front of the 12 and 15 is the smoky finish and slightly drier body. I love cigars and this rum with a nice cigar is a match made in heaven. A very smooth and very well made rum. The only downside is the price.

Tento rum , mě byl doporučen v baru v Praze a byl jsem z něho ohromen, pro jeho komplexnost chutí Pro mě velmi úžasný a vynikající rum. Vrchol, který vás nebaví každý den, protože zde pijete něco velmi zvláštního. Intenzivní a slibná vůně v nose slibuje hodně a tento slib je překonán požitkem z patra. Směs chuti tropického ovoce s mírně dřevitým pozadím nabízí plnou a silnou chuť se spoustou těla, která v cíli také dlouho vydrží. Neobyčejné potěšení pro velmi zvláštní příležitosti, perfektní všude!které od začátku až do konce mě bavili.

This is the best rum I've come across so far. It was so smooth in its taste that it almost felt off. Definitely a case where you get what you pay for.

Not because of the price-tag, but this stuff is REALLY freakin' good, people! Near perfect rum. Another solid entry from El~Dorado. Richness competes with oakiness, providing a taste-profile that has a nicely balanced sweet & smoky quality - buttery toffee and brown-sugar flavors intermingle with oak to rightly satisfy any pure rum-drinker's discerning palate! If not, well, then, I don't know what to tell you. Drink what you like, but I'm sticking to this.
