Darl Caramel colour, chocolate and vanilla tones with a spicy feel and sweet enduring aftertaste, a very pleasant experience.
A truly superb choice, must have in your cellar !!!!

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.

Der El Dorado 12 trifft leider nicht meinen Geschmack. Der Rum ist nicht sehr süss, dafür sehr scharf und würzig, der Alkoholgeschmack steht zu sehr im Vordergrund. Vor dem Trinken umbedingt ein paar Minuten stehen lassen, dann kommen auch die Geschmacksnuancen besser zur Geltung.

When I drank 7-y El dorado I looked forward to this one. And I am certainly not dissapointed. Great sipping rum.

C’est un rhum qui a une bonne odeur. En bouche c’est un délice, avec un gout très raffiné même s’il est moins riche en saveur que le 15. Il est aussi moins fort que son grand frère, plus doux et subtil mais il est difficile de les mettre en compétition, je dirais plutôt qu’ils sont complémentaire. Il est rare que je boive l’un sans me servir un verre de l’autre aussi.
It’s a rum that has a good smell. In the mouth it is a delight, with a very refined taste, even if it’s less rich in flavor than the 15. It is also less strong than its big brother, more sweet and subtle but it’s difficult to put them into competition, I would say they are complementary. It is rare that I drink one of them without having a glass of the other one as well.
