i have an affinity to sweet rums, and this just appeals a bit more to me over the 15-year. It feels a bit more lively and fresh.

Not tasting the fruitiness other reviewers noted. Nice and smooth with a little oak and caramel. Good price for the sipping.

El Dorado 12y je samozřejmě skvělá a chutná záležitost. Není mu moc co vytknout. Asi jsem mimo hlavní proud, ale když je vše téměř dokonalé, uhlazené a jemné, tak tam postrádám nějakou tu rošťárnu v chutích, kdy bych si mohl říct: "to je mi ale zajímavé". Takto je to pro mě bohužel jen "téměř dokonalé"

I pick up a vanilla front, follow by a fruitiness and ending with brown sugar on the nose. A little heat followed by the same Vanilla and fruity flavors afterward.

Vůně: dřevo, ovoce, karamel, tabák
Chuť: velice výrazný dubový sud, tropické ovoce, kůže a pomerančová kůra.
Trošku štípne na konci. Suchý pořádný rum. Ulpně se vidím na pirátské lodi :D
7,5!

En nariz tiene matices a madera en boca sigue la madera podría extenderme en sabores pero lo que me ha llamado la atención es que a mi modo de ver le falta el toque de dulzor, eso para mí es un defecto m, hasta los más secos tienen ese punto aquí hay una ausencia total, no creo que repita, tampoco es barato 24,50€ y como siempre nunca lo mezclaría......

A great introduction to premium rum. This rum was my introduction to premium rums and it did a perfect job. It's quite sweet (you can tell sugar was added), but not too sweet that you'll want to have another glass. You'll taste vanilla, brown sugar, hints of banana or orange peel with the slightest taste of oak and wood spices. Great on the deck with a cigar.

I won't bother with the tasting notes as the many reviews here have covered better than i could. Suffice to say, it's fantastic rum, great for mixing or drinking straight.
If you're looking for an example of demerara rum - look no further.

Enjoyable with a decent finish. Full bodied with woody tones. Good sipping rum over ice.

Most of the reviews here are quite old.
Thought I would revisit for an update.
For the money, this rum is a hit. It offers balance and structure. Molasses, vanilla, cinnamon- it’s all in there.

I do like sweet rums, and this one is like a spicy brown sugar rum happiness. It’s woodsy with some oak. Relatively heavy weight - not syrup but in that direction. Short slightly sour finish isn’t the best but Ok. Not overly complex but easy sipper. Would be great for someone just getting started on rum.
