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 !!!!

There is nothing wrong in this rum... only that there are better ones out there... But it's a very good sipping rum. No need for ice.

This really is a great rum to nose (brown sugar and orange peel). As the rum breathes i got moka aroma. This rum enters the mouth with a sweet spice explosion. Dark brown sugar, and hints of orange peel is the flavours that i discover. The overall flavour is mild sweet and soft at the end there is some bitterness or smoke which offsets that sweetness nicely. At the end has a warm spicy finish and leaves the mouth and throat heated. No alcohol burn at all. For me it is a very good quality rum.

The darkened glass bottle makes this look richer than it is. It seems strong at first, so I let it breathe...that's the key to tasting it now. Decanter a must. Now the flavor makes me want to take my time. It is now one of my top affordable sippers with Appleton 12 yr.

This bottle was my first non-mixed rum I tried. Certainely, it wasn't my last ! A very good one with a good sugar taste but not too much ! I recommand it to everyone one and the price is pretty good for the quality !

It has nice fruity aroma, sweet taste and smoothly slides down the throat. Perfect for straight sipping.
When I tried this one for the first time it was instant love :-). A friend of mine gave me a chance to choose between El Dorado and Diplomatico. There was something disturbing in Diplomatico so I choosed El Dorado and did not regret that. I am rum newbie so I probably change my preferences after some time and experience, but this is my etalon now.

Christmas/fruit cake, raisins, treacle, caramel with faint notes of clove, nutmeg and vanilla. A truly rich rum full of character, amazing straight, amazing mixed, amazing used for cooking... the downside is, it can be a little sickly which I have been lead to believe is because of the use of artificial sweeteners used :(

This rum is excellent is not too costly and is a well sweet sipping rum, with hit of fruits and wood.

This on the rocks is amazing a delicate smooth rum that's very amazing... Not got the depth of the 21 but still rocks my world.... Let the ice melt a hit for a devone flavour

On reconnait bien au nez de ce très bon rhum les notes miellées,douces et presque maltées de l'alambic diamond pot still en cuivre ainsi que les notes épicées de l' alambic enmore en bois. Doux et envoutant, ce rhum ne peut que séduire. Un peu trop sucré et avec un boisé un peu trop discret malheureusement,ce qui ne lui vaut qu'un 7.

Like it with good flavor on first drink.But flavor is not taking upperhand.
But burns a bit too much for me.
But still very nice on ice.
