Nice copper color. Aroma is vanilla and kind of alcohol-y but not unforgivably so. Sweet spice / cinnamon at first sip, with brown sugar turning to nuts, caramel, and the faintest hint of burnt wood on the fade. Deliciously complex. One of my favorites straight, and will make a rum-n-coke that will make your eyes roll back in your head.

Very good for 12-year. I got it as a gift from friend - finished same night ;)
Good strait or with cola.

This rum was awful and I was barely able to finish it. On the rocks it tasted like drinking rubbing alcohol with a hint of rum, and that weird abrasive flavor punched through any mixer I tried. I was really disappointed in this, especially for the price I paid. I'm now hesitant to try anything else from El Dorado. Even with the help of some friends I struggled to finish this bottle in a year.

Heerlijk om puur te drinken. Smaak. Caramel, vanille, cacao. Lekker met een sigaar

This stuff is just fan-freakin'-tastic! Even while it is sweeter and different than its 15-y.o. counterpart, this rum never fails to make me smile, straight-up, just as it is! Some oak spice heats the palate, still, (but, rest assured, in a good way, not burning at all) and the finish gives off the usual hints of brown sugar and caramel, with some toffee, vanilla, and nutty flavors briefly making their way in, too. Super smooth and very enjoyable.

It was good but nothing special, good taste but for the price I'd get the diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva instead.

Great sipping rum although not as smooth as the 15 yr old. However for the price point for this (in the UK) it is better value then the 15 yr old and ended up to be my go to rum.

easy to find, easy to drink, the 15 is a tad smoother.

Absolutely taste-worthy and a very nice quality rum, and extremely good value for money.

Ottimo rum. Lieve nota barricata con nota di caffè. Alcool poco persistente nel retrogusto, sapore dolcuastro finale. Consigliato.
