Prior to purchasing the 12-year old El Dorado I have bought the 15-year old. Having read many reviews with some people saying they prefer the 12 to the 15 I thought the two rums were at least en par.

The ED 12 tastes sweeter compared to the ED15, even though the ED 15 is supposed to have quite a bit more added sugar. The ED 12 is a pleasant rum on its own and given that it's reasonably priced, I can recommend trying it. You won't like it if you're not into sweet rums thoug

Compared to the ED 15, it's hands down just not as nice. The 15 is much more complex and has a lot more body to it.

Edit: It's best on the rocks.

God rom, der næsten altid bliver drukket mere end et glas af.

C'est un rhum corsé en bouche qui laisse place à des saveurs de fruits et épice.

This is my go to rum and for good reason at $32-35 a bottle CDN you can't go wrong, I have turned a lot of friends onto this rum and most of them whisky drinkers. It's good mixed or straight personally I pour some into my Glencairn at room temperature let it breathe for a few mins.

Nose: fruity, oak and baking spices
Taste : heavy on the brown sugar, oak, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg
Throat: sweet and spicy and quite smooth

Nepříliš výrazná nebo specifická vůně. Chuť pouze sladká. Trochu fádní.

I bit harsh to sip but with a touch of Sprite is has a smooth woody taste with a caramel finish. Very nice.

I may be a bit of a hard grader, but this didn't impress. A bit spicier than I had expected.

A lot of fruit in the nose, smooth taste of caramel, a good choice for this price.
