I just revisited this and at first sip- wow it's really good. After that it's just kinda a sweet mess of semi burnt caramel n oak w syrupy sugar body. It's worth trying if u never had it but I didn't like it as much my second time around. My opinion has changed and I think ED 8 year might b their best I've had at this point. Mind you my preferences fluctuate from sweet to dry, back and forth.

Although the flavour is good, both the nose and the taste are not strong enough to really enjoy it. I'd say it is very drinkable, but not even close to be special.

The taste is good and fine. Little sweet. But the aftertaste is strange. It looks à little chemic.

Un rhum de réellement 12 ans et intéressant, avec des notes de fruits secs, de praliné, de caramel, de vanille et de chocolat noir.
Mais qu'est ce que ce rhum est sucré ! Ce rhum a été trafiqué et fait en réalité 28-29%. Nous avons donc affaire à une liqueur...
Dommage car le rendu initial devait être intéressant.

It's worth the cost. Take it straight up or on the rocks to really taste some different flavors. Real nice quality rum!

Ganz in Ordnung. Nicht zu süß. Sehr schön in der Nase.

it is a bit more men, than woman, if you have a comparing look to the diplomatico 12. dense, bold, some smoke, caramell, and some bitter elements. although a good rum for starting purpose.

Finally tried the ED12 and not dissapointed as I expected. Nice balanced rum, smells delicious and drinks a way easy. Drank the 15y a while ago and must say,,It's better, but if your wallet can't afford more expensive rums, the 12y comes damn close. For that reason,like for example the abuelo 12y also,,,,an easy 8!
