El Dorado 21-Year

Goût boisé et fumé. Bien équilibré. Expressif. N’a pas été conçu pour plaire à un large public. Ce rhum affirme son identité. S’approche du scotch dans ses flaveurs. On est bien loin du rhum doux avec des parfums fruités. C’est du straight qui laisse transparaître un savoir faire indéniable!
J’ai dégusté 3 verres en même temps. Le 12 ans, le 15 ans et le 21 ans. On sent des traits de famille entre les 3, dans les parfums et au goût. Pour comparer, je dirai que le 12 ans est commercial, le 15 ans in between, et le 21 ans pour les vrais de vrais ! ☺️ Cheers !

Sampled at the Laka Lono Rum Club Tasting on 6/30/21. Pours brown in color. Pronounced molasses and caramel and brown sugar. All jumps out in the aroma. Thick as pancake syrup. The flavor is absolute single malt whiskey. Big dollop of demerara sugar. Mint flavors and spruce. Damn.

Bright label, not dark, hate that taste, maby I'm not an old fisherman to like that as peated whyskey and drum tabacco

It is really good but honestly not that much better than the 12 year.

Title says it all. Not as sweet as its 15 year old younger brother - and that's no bad thing! Absolutely amazing rum!

This rum definitely impressed me. Very rich in nose - chocolate, caramel, vanilla and coffee. The body is full of a long finish. Perfect cigar rum.

Lots of people will say that they prefer the 12 or the 15, and I get that as for the money they are both fantastic choices however, the 21 is just better in my mind. Dried fruit, honey, cigar tobacco, and a rich nuttiness that the younger bottles lack.

Best rum I've tried so far. Not cheap and I keep it reserved for special occasions and special people.

WOW- I have tried the 12 year old El Dorado in the past, but this is on another level, quite simply the smoothest rum i have ever tasted, not at all overly sweet, amazing aroma and a burst of flavour before sliding effortlessly down the gullet with no appreciable alcohol burn before warming the stomach, lovely stuff.

Absolutely disappointing, I found that the 21-year-old which is easily twice the price of the 12-year-old is simply no worth it. It just ok in my books, the 12 is better. So sad, I was expecting to fall out of my chair. Nope, not worth it.
