El Dorado is a good one for sipping. It's quite strong (alcohol) for me. When there is no Diplomatico left in my cabinet this is a good substitution.

Value for money rum, would not consider to buy his 15 year older brother. This one is not too sweet and has a gentle aftertaste. One of my standards to have in the basket. All day sipper.

Your review – you could include things like color, aroma, body, taste, finish, spice, smoothness… really anything you want! You can also share an optional picture of the drink (or better still - you enjoying it!) by attaching a photo below.

One of my first rum, nothing special about it. I dont quite remember anything about the taste after almost a year, so it speaks for itself.

I prefer the 1t for smoothness but this is still really nice. With the fruit the 15 has just starting to come out. Not as much toasted molassas and a bit more of a bite

Nice copper color. Aroma is vanilla and kind of alcohol-y but not unforgivably so. Sweet spice / cinnamon at first sip, with brown sugar turning to nuts, caramel, and the faintest hint of burnt wood on the fade. Deliciously complex. One of my favorites straight, and will make a rum-n-coke that will make your eyes roll back in your head.

Love this rum, I am new to the rum segment, and can drink this with or without ice, depends how I'm feeling. Will always have this on my shelf. So happy, I am willing to try the entire El Dorado line up, I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

I have to say the first couple of glasses of this reminded me of the wedding rums I was use to so a lot like Lambs navy but after letting the rum breathe in the glass a few minutes before mixing brought out the best in this rum .....let it breath !!' And enjoy this one
