Cadeautje voor onze spelletjesenrumavondvriend, aangeraden door de slijter. Lekker zoet, fruitig en kruidig. Weer een aanrader erbij!

Highly underrated. Maybe one of the wet runs for the price point. Especially $50 and under bottles. While the 15 year is excellent, save the $20 and get the 12.

At least my country, this 12year is actually cheap and can deliver a lot for the price.
Fruity, but not so overly sweet as some others.
Amazing. Really loved this. Decent price too. Nice presentation box

right off the bat, you get a very oaky aroma with fruitiness and spice. it’s very mellow and went down real smooth for me. you can easily sip on the rocks , but also mixes greatly with cola, you can still taste the flavor heavily in it!
Nice to have this with some ice and let it rest a while. I prefer sweeter liquors, but i think this is better than Zacapa 23

The smell is fruity and alcoholic...last goes away a bit after letting it breathe...but still sensable...
The taste is good with a burn at the end...the taste sticks a while around...
I tried after the 12 year old the older brother, the elderly dorado 15. Did not like it too much...it kinda stinks compared to the 12. I am surprised as well that they differ so much from each other...the taste is Ok from the 15, but the smell and taste is in my opinion way better with the younger 12.
I give the 12 a solid 7...but there are better rums out there...for example the Plantation 20th Anniversary...from the price range closer to the 15. In the same price range of the 12 ist the Ron Barco de Vargas which tastes better than the 12.
I will keep the 12 in my bar stock though.
