i live in a place where restaurants rarely have great rum selections. I was surprised to find a 12 year old El Dorado. With so many positive reviews I looked forward to trying it. This one was a major disappointment to me. The taste was heavy on the Carmel. Sweet but not too sweet and a hint of vanallia But the overwhelming characteristic is the medicinal smell and taste. It smells and tastes like NyQuil - and that's being polite. After a couple it becomes more drinkable but I cannot recommend this rum. It says 12 year old run but it has the smoothness of 12 hour hootch.

One of my favorite so far. Really smooth, bit sweet with a hint of vanilla.

En rigtig god rom. Denne rom er absolut værd at drikke, og prisen er så alle kan være med.

Good sipping rum, a little oaky for my taste but a nicely flavoured rum all the same.

Velmi slusny rum, vyvazena chut, je menej aromaticky ako jeho rafinovanejsi a o nieco jemnejsi 15 rocny variant. Ladeny je viac do ovocnej citrusovej aromy, zatial co 15r je viac cokoladovejsi a jemne horkejsi. Celkovo vyborny pomer cena/kvalita, ale preferujem chut a komplexnost jeho hladsieho 15 rocneho kolegu.

Sweet but good. Nice sipping rum with oak flavors throughout

This is something that did not bother me at the beginning, but was becoming a nuisance pretty fast: Added sugar. This has lovely flavors, but the sugar spoils it for me. A pity, really. Still a competent rum, even a great one for those who are not put off by the artificial sweetness.

loved the El Dorado 2. The 12 is good, and cheaper, if you can't find the 21.

I rate the 12 year highly because it reminds me of the one experience I had tasting the 30 year.

The 12 year is still an incredibly tasty drop and I personally find that El Dorado is the flavour I think of when I am craving a rum.

30 year is better but the 12 year will still hit the spot.

Poměr cena výkon to nejlepší co sem měl. Klasický demerara rum velmi těžký
a hutný. Minimálně vyzkoušet doporučuju každému. Standart klasických rumů. Za mě 8.5.
