El Dorado 3-Year

This rum is pretty decent for its price point. Obviously, it's far from a premium (which is why I am giving it a 7 for what it is at its own level rather than what it is compared to the really good stuff) but all things considered I think this white rum actually holds up pretty well when stacked against many of its competitiors around the same price. It's reasonably smooth and not nearly as nasty when you take a whiff as some of the other sugar water white rums are out there that smell like they could be combustable if near a naked flame.

It has a fair amount of vanilla (but not too much) and when you blend it into mojito's or other classic white rum beverages it blends really well.

It also doesn't give you nearly as much of a nasty hangover as lesser white rums such as Malibu or Bacardi

Usually priced around 40 AUD I'd say if your blending cocktails for a party and you want something above bacardi this is a good candidate. Bottle looks nice and everyone knows El Dorado make quite a respectable range of rums.

Definitely worth a buy at your local bottle store the next time you're doing cocktails.

This rum lacks the freshness you would expect from a white rum and replaces it with an odd vanilla-cream aroma.

I gave it 6/10 considering this forum is about all rums but if talking about white rums I could give it even 7 or 8! it is a great mixer but you can sip it easily, bit sweet, quite smooth with a point in direction to good rums in its family, comparing e. g. to white bacardi it is like heaven and hell :)

Really interesting flavors that linger. Aftertaste was a little much but a great rum.

This one neat is ok. It has a little bit of an after taste, but it doesn’t linger long.
Had this with a cold Stevia Coke mixed 50/50 today, and it is excellent. Change my rating from 7 to 8 as it is a great mixer. Will be buying more at the next sale.

A nicely aged white (actually filtered) rum. A pleasant fruitiness in nose and taste and a sugar coated aftertaste, but nothing too sweet. Comparable to the Plantation 3 stars (which remains the clear favourite).

Nice body for a young rum. For $14 it has a lot of bang for the buck.

This is a flavorful but delicate white rum, need to be mixed in cocktails with few other ingredients such as the daiquiri. Most likely it has a fair amount of added sugar.

This rum is great in price 20/750ml, and is well distributed. I get a rounded vanilla and Christmas spice on the nose. It has a wonderful mouthfeel and is heavy on a butterscotch flavor with a clean rounded finish. If you can get it at your local Costco it's 100% worth a try.

Пивал это ром много раз, его вкус запоминается сразу и забыть его невозможно! Очень чувствуется бочка бурбона и аромат ванили. Очень легко пьётся в чистом виде и очень хорош в коктейлях. И цена вообще супер 👍
