I really like the syrupy smoothness of this one, along with a strong character that lasts in mouth. Truly great.

Sugar: 35 gpl. Updated August 24, 2017.
This is a very good entry level sipper. It's sweetness, spice and smoothness is well balanced, and the strong oak and whisky-bourbon taste has grown on me in subsequent tastings. In comparison to the other aged El Dorado rums, I think the 12 year old has a better taste than the 15 year, but the 21 is their best so far for me. Keep in mind that the 21 Year old version is sweeter and you can buy 3 bottles of the 12 year old for the price of one bottle of the 21 year old, which makes the 12 Year Old a great value.

At the beginning the taste is very soft and you can feel the honey, it gradually changes to the taste of fruit, overall it is a good rum, sometimes dry but the fruit balances it out, for this price it is an excellent choice

On the advice of another post, I began my courtship with rum tentatively and warily - with Diplomatico Reserva Exclusive - but found a new best friend and possibly weekend lover. Completely content with that smoky green bottle of joy, and decided to test the waters for something new, and chose El Dorado 12-year. I began drinking rum 3 weeks ago, so I won't try and impress you with hints of this and aftertastes of that (not that I could anyways), but it is a smooth drink, very or too easy to drink, a slight pleasant burn on the 1st sip, and I feel great the next morning. My complaint with it is the taste isn't to my liking. The Diplomatico is sweeter, and if I was to pick a rum to take with me to Mars, it would be the Diplomatico...for now. On to rum #3...
