loved the El Dorado 2. The 12 is good, and cheaper, if you can't find the 21.

Honey, fruit and spice with a dry finish. Very drinkable.

In der Nase leichte Citrusfrüchte, geschmacklich sehr caramelig mit leicht scharfem Alkohol. Lang anhaltender Abgang.

The smoothest of the 3 (12, 15, 21).
A simple rum, not complex but very tasty. To small bottle, runs out quick!

I have a bottle of this at home, feels more like an after dinner drink than a sipping rum. Still quite nice and would recommend.

This one is my favorite rum at the moment. It is a sweet woody spicy rum with fruits which has a mild to medium alcohol warmth to it when you swallow. It is very flavorful and sweet which is what I like and the alcohol warmth keeps the rum lively. Excellent!

Har kun smagt 12 års, som også altid skal være i en rom samling. Har hørt at 15 og 21 hører lige så meget til i en romsamling. Skal på ønske listen.

A very oaky rich and blended aged Rum Far better than the 15

I got this on recommendation. I can see why it has won awards. Very smooth, nice sweet flavours and goes down well. The only thing keeping me from giving it a higher rating is the fruity, and slightly licorice notes that don't agree with my personal palate. When I compare it to the Plantation Grande Reserve from Barbados, it is a smoother version of that for my purposes at double the price. Glad I tried it, but unfortunately, my search for the perfect rum continues....

This was the first sipping rum I ever purchased... I have not had a glass of whisky since this hit my tongue. It is fantastic. As I try more rums I may come back Nd adjust the score accordingly.
