Mon nouveau préféré dans la game abordable. Très smooth, fruité et épicé. Possède quand même une bonne épaisseur et reste longtemps en bouche pour un rhum de ce prix. Certainement à essayer pour les gens du Québec (36$ à la SAQ et disponible presque partout).
Really good product for the range of price. Fruity smooth and a touch of spice. The taste remain in mouth just like a good pricey sipper. Definitly worth trying.

Sweet, cheap, easy drinkable and you can drink it as an everyday rum
It took me enough time to rate this rum.. Because of it's quality and the glorious sense of sipping satisfaction ..
Till today that I decided to directly blind compare it with Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva that I have rated with 9..
So the story started, two liquor glasses, marked behind the base with the two competitors.. I Served, I asked from my wife to rotate and I tasted.. Then something strange was happened.. the first rum in turn was much upper in the nose, the spices and the aromas, a fantastic combination with vanilla, chocolate, molases, butter, a trully aroma paradisso!!
But, when I tasted the second one was greater in mouth, smoothness, and aftertaste.. I tried again and again till both glasses became empty, then I raised them to see the labels.. To my surprise, the first was the El Dorado 12-Year, I was really fooled, I strongly believed that was Diplomatico!! So, there was no winner from the blind comparison, both rums were great in some points, with the one greater from the other in some different areas..
So, I refilled the El Dorado 12-Year glass, I put a Verve original black vinyl record of the master Oscar Peterson on my turntable, I lighted a cigar and I started to write those lines..
As a conclusion I would like to say that El Dorado 12-Year is a great rum with excellent combination of aromas, aged quality, with body and richness of taste.. It is rated 9 from me as succeded to compete equally with the master of this gategory, Diplomatico..
My previous expensive rums had been some variations of Bacardi but this very dark rum is just way too sweet.
It is easy to drink and most people would probably like it, I find it far too sugary though.

Verstehe die hohen Ratings nicht. Irgendwie langweilig.

Oaky, I think it tastes a lot like it's younger brother (8y), just a little more refined. Don't know if the higher price is justified compared to the 8y old, especially when mixed. I guess I need to have some more tasting sessions.
8/10

This rum as lots of added sugar but tastes excellent. Awesome straight or as a mix. Great bargain for the price.

Op zich een goede smaak maar veel te zoet. Beter Neem je de 8 jaar of 15 jaar.

Just brilliant. This is the rum that officially got me deep into the rabbit hole of delicious rum. Admittedly I've had better in the years since, but this isn't a rating based on nostalgia as it's a fantastic rum in its own right (a bit too sweet for some though). However the price point at just over $30 for me easily cinches its deserved rating.
