I am a big fan of the Molasses / Caramel type flavoring in a Rum. Not too sweet, but the flavors are there. This Rum doesn't disappoint on those flavor notes! This one is definitely in my rotation.

Strong Oak. Not a sweet Kindergartener sipping rum (which I enjoy). Great dark sugar Demerara flavor. Can't wait to try 15+++

It's very intelligent on the nose, well balanced on palate. Best for me at this moment

Very smooth, with great notes, but boy it's sweet. For me definitely too much. If someone likes things that sweet, definitely should try.

This is my favourite of El Dorado's offerings. I have had a bottle of the 21 more recently but found it nice but not as interesting. The 12 has notes of cinnamon, banana and other spices that blend very nicely together. It could come across as strongly flavoured and not as refined, but I think it has definite character.

Good darker rum with sweet smell. It does not have strong alcohol taste but strong sugarry and a bit smoky smell.

This rum is one of if not the best rums I've had, and has amazingly sweet notes of fruits, vanilla and molasses. It's also fairly cheap, at $45CAD per bottle. It easily rivals rums at double its price point.

Acest rom emana in miros o combinatie de rasina cu iz dulceag si condimente.

La degustare se simte siropos cu gust fructat intrun echilibru de fructe rosii si negre si cu alcool bine integrat. Gustul e usor atipic in ideea ca gusturile clasice ale romului cum ar fi caramelul sau vanilia se simt cumva pitite prin arome ) poate doar un gust de cacao sa fie mai tradat de vaurile ce ti inunda papilele undeva mai spre postgust care este destul de persistent .

Cred ca este un rom cu mult zahar adaugat dar care incearca in popstgust sa ti aduca o senzatie de sec )) deci daca esti un militant mentru romul fara zahar adaugat dar ai momente in care nu te mai intelegi cu tine insuti si vrei sa incerci ceva dulce acesta este romul potrivit pt ca aduce cumva cate putin din toate si este departe de starea in care te aduc celelalte bombe de zahar cum ar fi diplomatico sau zacapa , romuri carora chiar daca poate reusesti sa le apreciezi adancimile nu mai poti sorbi si al doilea pahar fiind deja in zona de mult prea dulce..

... in rest , mai bine bei un rom fara zahar adaugat ))))))
