Rich taste with a wonderful color and full spicy aroma with hints of fruit and toast, with a full body again with the power of fruit, tobacco and orange peel, with the taste of oak.
Unfortunately I can only describe a rum, while Im drinking it, and I haven't drank this one for a while now. The 12 years old El Dorado was my second rum discovery after the Pampero Aaniversario and it definitely topped the former one in quality and taste, but kinda similar too to the Pampero. I wouldnt say its a very complex rum, but it is a great rum nevertheless. If you are just getting familiar with real rums I would recommend this or the Pampero to start with.

This is an awesome rum for sipping and mixing a high quality cocktail. For sipping I prefer it with an ice cube. I give it a 9 for it's versatility of being a solid sipper and high quality mixing rum.

Great Demerara sipper!!!
This rum is really nice. It taste really good, not too complex and easy to sip.
On the nose, it is very tasty. We have aromas of stewed fruit, caramelized vanilla and woody. The whole is well balanced.
On the palate, the attack is soft and sweet. We find almost all of the aromas found on the nose: caramel, tobacco, vanilla, wood ...
The finish is relatively long. It is mainly wood and vanilla that dominate and the sweet impression remains.
I hightly recommend this great rum from Guyana. Easy to sip and for that price !!
Wonderful 12 year old rum at a very reasonable price

Tento výrazný rum zrál v dubových sudech 12 let a mícháním dosáhl jemné síly a bohatosti, s nádhernou barvou a plnou kořeněnou vůní s náznaky svěžího jižního ovoce a opečených toastů, s kulatým, měkkým, plným tělem opět se sílou ovoce, tabáku a pomerančové kůry, s příchutí dubu.
I enjoy this rum, but it is far too sweet. It's a shame there is so much sugar added because it really throws off the taste

Un petit a priori sur ce rum guyannais mais c'est une très belle découverte. très bien équilibré
Perfect rum! My favorite rum now. Absolutely balanced. Not sweet but sweetness is barely caught. The taste of the barrel is hardly noticeable in the smell, too. Fabulous. Must drink to all -)))
Its my best rum till now. Nice fruity citrus smell and taste.

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.
