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!

I enjoyed a glass of this at a restaurant simply to try it out. I always keep a bottle of the 15 year or 2 on my shelf. It was quite good as one might expect if your at all familiar with this line of rums. Granted I will probably only buy this bottle if my store happens to be out of the 15 year.

To match the depth and quality of the El Dorado 12 yr you will have to spend a lot more. This rum is everything it set out to be and more and is a basic pillar of a good rum collection.

A very good rum for a decent price. Smooth & full. No "bite" and a good starter rum.
