El Dorado 12-Year

For the price is excellent.. Aroma.. Taste.. After taste

It's a soft sweet ride. Holds on the palate and the sugercane loviness lingers

Decent sipping rum, quite sweet and smooth but not boring. Could probably serve nicely as a mixer as well!

Sweet.. ..

Nice bottle with rich fill. This rum is for me very drinkable

When the bottle was first opened it was the caramel like smell I noticed, some bottles of rum the alcohol smell is more intense, this one medium with a little bite to the nose. On the rock after it chilled the rum was smooth and had a nice taste. I would like likely buy again.

Great but not special one. Not offensive, but my cup of tea

For the sweet toothed a certain winner
A respectable guyana demerara rum

So, I finally purchased this instead of my go to 15yr old seeing quite few reviews rave about this. After trying several glasses of this in my opinion it just isn't quite there. It needs the extra 3yrs of aging that makes the 15yr old stand out. The price was right at $30 but I will be back to the 15yr old immediately for the extra $15. You get what you pay for!

Sweet and smooth, a good entry level to understand superior rums. Negative note is the enormous amount of sugar added, very annoying, leaving a residue also at the bottom of each bottle. Is not a secret that oak barrels are covered in molasses and ~35/45 g/l sugar is added to this release, making this drink for the most purists more a rum-based spirit than a real rum. Apart from that, it’s sweet, smooth and well rounded, with hints of vanilla, banana, tropical flowers to the nose. Afterburn is pleasant and overall a favourable sipping rum!
