This is a great sipping rum and it’s very smooth. So smooth that if you drink it on the rocks it has zero burn in the finish. Tastes like a delicious caramel treat. You’d be hard pressed to find a 21 year old that costs less than this one, so it’s actually a good value despite being around $90-$100 Canadian. I highly recommend this if you’re in the market for your first 20+ year old rum.

Avast! By the time you be readin' this, I've had the 12, the 15, and finally, the 21. All three be decent sippin' rums in their own regard, and for different reasons, but all rated the same. Now this particular rum smells amazin' - but not too sweet! There be a bit of caramel, a bit of smoke, a bit of spices, and just a hint of funk. On deck, she be very smooth. You be hit with a light, but unexpected, camphor taste at first... and then the sweetness comes aboard with all of the other flavors, including a bit of fruit on the back side. She be bit on the dry side, but this be the kind of dry a sailor could learn to love. On MY ship, I'll be stockin' the 12-year, but if you get the chance to try this lovely lass, don't let her pass on by...

($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.

Very good rum, aromatic, medium or even less sugar, strong alcohol at the beginning, very clean on palate with long and rich aftertaste, caramel, dry orange, vanilla, herbs. Like it.

This is smooth and flavorful. Don’t need the price tag, but undeniably good.

Kellemes ital de a 12 és e köztt én nem éreztem hatalmas különbséget. Ezt is és azt is simán tudom kortyolgatni! Ajánlom kipróbálásra!

I had high hopes for this based on how good the 15 yr is, but it’s not as good. The price isn’t worth it...

This rum is the most complex rum i have ever tried. Its all the 15 has to offer but adds some fresh fruits and a bit of acidity. This is also the reason i like the 15 year more. The fresh fruits and acidity makes the rum allot more complex but for me it travels to far from what i like about el dorado so thats why i prefer the 15.

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.
