El Dorado 21 is produced near the equator in Guyana by Demerara distillery. The final product is a blend of rums, aged between 21 and 25 years and crafted using 100% locally sourced Demerara sugar. Traditional tools are used in the distilling processes including three unique wooden stills. The rums rest until maturity in 45 gallon oak casks.

It is really good but honestly not that much better than the 12 year.

Title says it all. Not as sweet as its 15 year old younger brother - and that's no bad thing! Absolutely amazing rum!

Best rum I've tried so far. Not cheap and I keep it reserved for special occasions and special people.

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.

Absolutely disappointing, I found that the 21-year-old which is easily twice the price of the 12-year-old is simply no worth it. It just ok in my books, the 12 is better. So sad, I was expecting to fall out of my chair. Nope, not worth it.

I ordered an El Dorado 15 at a bar once, but they didn't have it. I bought few drinks before (plus tipped them for great service) and they "treated" me to it, for 15's price. I was a little tipsy already, but i remember the taste; sweet, like honey and caramel, with a slightly numbing aftertaste. To be honest, if the waitress hadn't explained all of that to me in detail, i would think it was the 15 that i was drinking. I know the specifics about this distillery, the tradition and old technology used, but their rums are too sweet, too mild and according to my humble opinion, too overpriced, as well. Seems to be ideal for a dessert though, but for that purpose, i would certainly prefer Dictador Insolent XO much better. Decent choice, still. Rum drinkers with a sweet tooth for sweet rum, just add 2 points to my score. Still, not a top shelf ace, in my cabinet.

8.75/10, this is a phenomenal offering that I've only been able to try at bars, bottles have eluded me but I would definitely buy one if found. It's oaky and so very smooth and easy sipping, I usually lean towards cask strength stuff but this certainly isn't bad!

El Dorado is interesting. It smells very bland and boring in the bottle/glass, typical stuff you smell from any non-commercial rum. However drinking it straight is very unique. I would not recommend straight, it is quite the harsh sipper and I always find myself scratching my head at how some people sip somethings straight. It needs a tad of cola to tame it. But wow what a nice body. Thin entry, huge body in the middle that is super blent together to make this wonderful unique taste and a typical rum ending, silky is a way to describe it. Its a good blend of sweetness and dry. It's good but not worth the price honestly. Comparable to Mount Gay XO quality and price range. It would be more enjoyable too if their was less heat but that's okay can't win them all but it's a very good thing to sample. I picked mine up in a thing call a "connoisseurs choice" pack where it had the 12, 15 and 21 year for 10$ at the duty free. Which if you're like me and just like to buy to sample it's a very economic way to sample!
