Smooth and delicious aged rum. You can easily sip this neat. Love using this in a daiquiri for a more full bodied drink.

This rum has a smooth nose. It's quite sweet. But still very nice sipping rum.

Kategorie: Hnědý rum spíše do sladka 40%

Hodnocení: Zde bohužel musím jít proti proudu, jelikož rum mě moc nezaujal. Ano, má výrazné dubové aroma, ano, stojí méně než ostatní lepší rumy a ano, může se s nimi chuťově srovnávat, ale ani přes to všechno si mě nezískal. Asi jsem od něj čekal po všech pochvalných recenzích až moc. Mívám rozpito několik rumů najednou, ale po tomto jsem sáhl málodky (rozuměj obsah ostatních flašek mizel rychleji). Během pití jsem ho vždy podvědomě srovnával se Zacapou, jelikož vůně tohoto rumu mi ji připomněla, a Zacapa je holt někde jinde. Jde o dobrý chutný rum, který ale nemá nic, co by mohl nabídnout jako bonus.

Really nice, sweet rum. Apperently a lot of added sugar, but doesn't stop me from liking it.

So up until today my favorite fine sipping rum had been Montecristo, that all changed when I had a glass of El Dorado 12-year. This rum is a very smooth rum with fantastic tropical notes and a hint of honey. The rum is very smooth and I mean very smooth with an alcohol content of 40%. It has barely any burn and tons of flavor. It doesn't have a sharp alcohol taste so this rum allows you to savor each and every flavor. It has light notes of bourbon but not so much that it overpowers the rum. You can taste the oak but it's a very subtle flavor, the oak flavor complements the tropical flavors quite well. This is one of those rums that takes forever to drink because every sip gives a different experience. On one sip I tasted oranges and on another I tasted hints of some citrus and even some pineapple. This rum is truly an amazing choice and definitely worth having a bottle of. I did find that drinking it neat was great but adding one ice cube actually opened up the flavors even more without watering the rum down.

For 36$ in Québec,CA it is Worth every penny, on ice or to mix!

Taková zvláštní příchuť jakoby kůže. Opravdu celkem něco jiného než co jsem doposud měl. Sladkost jsem tam příliš necítil. Je to kouřové a možná ta kůže s karamelem bych řekl že převažuje a dohromady to podává opravdu silně specifickou chuť. Jde to pít, ale přímo jsem si to nevychutnával.

This is the first rum that I have ever been able to drink neat. Actially it's my first taste of aged rum so I couldn't spoil it with a chaser.
Sweet but smooth then the after taste of caramel.
Dont know how much it is worth in price as I got it as a present from GT. Would difinately buy another bottle if I could get my hands on one.

A very good rum for the price. Good straight up or fantastic mixed. Well worth the price, very tasty.
