Of all their aged runs this is my favourite. Sweet, complex and delicious.

Super dark color, a bit of a bit initially but it mellows out after the first sip. Great texture, smooth. It's got a number of flavors, very sweet and a bit dry. Definitely a go-to sipping rum, an easy one to enjoy over and over.

One of my favourites by a mile. Can't think of many more I'd prefer to be sipping on for the same price.

Michael from the US is way off. The El Dorado 15 is not good. This is up there with the best of them, regardless of price. Far better than the 15.

The best rum I've tasted so far. Great taste and quality. Vanilla and caramel notes. Smooth from beginning to end. Drink it on the rocks or add a splash of vanilla or cherry coke.
