First sniff gives a nice citrus scent with hints of oak barrel bourbon nose. The taste definitely gives out the barrel aging, but the smoothness is lacking from an 8-year aged rum. If not for the "burn" I would probably have made this an 8.
Some sweetness in the aftertaste with a hint of caramel and vanilla. I prefer sipping rum so never mix so I can only say, a decent sipper with decent taste. I will buy again.

Fruit, caramel and leather with a slight smoky finish. Excellent both neat and on the rocks

Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.

Would have given it an 8 a couple years back but having tried stuff that really blew me away in the meantime, I just can't. Don't get me wrong however, this is a real nice sipper. One of the cornerstones of rum drinking, so to speak. So it's a mandatory experience.

This is a great everyday sipper. It comes with some caramel, butter scotch, vanilla and oak. As with all El Dorados I've tasted the typical demerara taste is well present.

One of my favorites, especially for the price. With a bit of ice or water and it opens up very nicely.

Quite a bite. Blended with a softer rum, easier to drink

Tenhle rum si na nic nehraje. Láhev jé pěkná, ale s jinými kousky se srovnat nedá, chuť do výborná, ale ne výjimečná. Lze doporučit každému. Kdo už ale má něco rumů ochutnáno, žádné El dorado neobjeví.

En nariz tiene matices a madera en boca sigue la madera podría extenderme en sabores pero lo que me ha llamado la atención es que a mi modo de ver le falta el toque de dulzor, eso para mí es un defecto m, hasta los más secos tienen ese punto aquí hay una ausencia total, no creo que repita, tampoco es barato 24,50€ y como siempre nunca lo mezclaría......
