El Dorado 12-Year

For as strong as the sherry nose it has, it is not as sweet as I expected, which is a good thing. There is some nice oak and spice on the tongue and a smooth, enjoyable finish. But it definitely does have its sweet moments, but nothing too strong. I especially love the bottle. It looks like something that would wash up on the beach from a pirate ship wreck. Have only drank it neat, but would love to try it in my Mai Tai recipe and in an old fashioned. Good staple bottle for a rum collection.

This is one off my first rums. And I think it's great, overall a smooth rum

I had read reviews online which made me believe that this rum is partly aged in sherry casks. Like, nuances of dried fruits and nuts. However, in my opinion there's nothing really suggestive of sherry casks about this one. The nose screams "bourbon". It has plenty of vanilla and even that luscious note of sun cream typical of some bourbon whiskeys. Full bodied and aromatic, it's an excellent choice whenever cocktail recipes call for Demerara rum.

Beautiful sipper, it enjoyable for every penny, gourmet

Very nice smooth great with ice and a slice of orange. reminds me of the diplomatico rum.

Ár/érték arányban az egyik legjobb ital.
Harmónikus,hosszú lecsengésű.
Nem a legszofisztikáltabb rum a piacon,de nagyon kellemes az íze.

Udemærket men ikke noget helt vildt...............

Initial thoughts include spicy, with notes of cinnamon and vanilla. This was a Christmas sale purchase that has delighted me over and over.

I managed to find this rum for$24.99 at Christmas, and took a shot on it due to its low price. I was very surprised with the wonderful flavors and complex eww city of this drink, and enjoy it both neat and with mix.

While not as complex as some others (see my review on Lemon Hart 1804), it has a delightful flavor and very pleasant nose. Notes of pepper and cinnamon, as well as vanilla and a not overpowering sweetness make this one another staple in my cabinet.

Certainly appreciable neat, it has a wonderful complexity and is also simple at the same time. The flavors present are not overly deep or complex, but rather they are solid and pleasant in their balance. Truly one of the first really high quality rums that I stumbled upon with a terrific experience to price ratio.

If you are new to rums and are looking to elevate your experience, this is a wonderful way to grow your experience and enjoy some truly great flavor at the same time.

A very interesting complicated rum, with heavy oak taste and strong aftertaste. Pricey otherwise definitely a 8/10

My wife and I experimented with this rum a bit during the lockdown. At first we liked it. It is clearly on the very sweet side, but so are a few others we have enjoyed at times, Diplomatico Reserva and Papa's Pilar come to mind. The price point is reasonable. The flavor palette is alright, reasonably complex with some notes of burnt sugar, dark fruit and citrus. the finish and overall effect is just too sweet. My wife could tolerate the sweetness, but I eventually found it rather cloying. The other big problem I have with sweeter rums is that it seems to take a bit more of them to get you where you want to go. Also, if you indulge a bit more the harsh after effects seem worse.
Anyway, if you are a fan of very sweet rums and don't get any negative effects from the sugar this might be a good choice, but for us, not so much.
