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!

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!

Let's start by saying that I am a real fan of Demerara Rums. The bottle presentation and the tie-in to the "City of Gold" only enhanced my desire to try this rum.
It is a nice dark amber pour in the glass. The nose is subdued with no over powering alcohol.
What hits the mouth is a fairly simple rum, however give it a few seconds and the flavor palette expands noticeably. This rum is smooth so there is very little alcohol burn post swallow, however the tastes linger on for a significant period.
I normally take my drinks neat, however I also sample new rums both on ice and with cola. Usually I feel that either option is at best neutral and seldom an improvement, provided that I am testing decent rum.
Personally, I would leave the ice out of ED12, however I find it to be quite enjoyable with Coke.
This is a very reasonable price point rum given that it is a bona fide sipper plus you won't cringe when your visitors add Coke. In fact you may well add Coke yourself some days.
Excellent rum to have in your cabinet as an all rounder
