Demerara Distillers of Guyana produces El Dorado 12-year rum and is the country's last remaining distillery, with origins tracing back to 1670. The name ""El Dorado"" references the legendary city of gold that is said to be in the country's Rupununi region.

The initial smell resembles petrol and leaves me with mixed feelings.
Afterwards I detect coconuts and sugar and oak.
Taste is very sweet and you get the coconut again.
When compared to Diplomatico RE, this rum is perhaps on the same level of sweetness, but because the alcohol is way more present in here, the spirit seems more firey, but still smooth enough.

One of the most interesting flavour profiles on the rum market.

This was the first rum I got for the purpose of drinking it straight.
It is a rum that always will be in my collection.
I still enjoy et straight but also in drinks, coffee and hot chocolate.

It's a great all round rum and a great starter rum.

En af mine første rom. Den var knap så sød som forventet. Udmærket til prisen.

Not quite the 'zing'
of the 15 years old El Dorado, but this affordable venue is good on its own, as well as in cocktails of course...

Very nice but if you've tried the 15 year you can get a real application for what that extra 3 years does for the quality.

Her får du meget rom for pengene. Lækker smag.
Absolut genkøb.

A wonderful blend of sweet, burn, and wood flavors. This is a rum to measure others by.
