Much like Don Julio to Tequila, El Dorado offers a high quality introduction to rum and is truly superb when you reach the top of their line. This 12 year is a perfect intro to their world that only gets better as you go further in.

I believe there is still some sugar added to this rum but they've reduced the amount significantly. This is a decent sipping rum with plenty of molasses, brown sugar, and a touch of barrel char going on. A nice rum to use as an intro to sipping rum for the uninitiated.

j'ai payé 26€ la bouteille. A ce prix c'est le numéro 1.
Des bouteilles bien plus chères mais moins bonne .
Pas trop sucré donc ne vous dégoute pas à force.

Almost drinkable. Bought at 31.00 based on 7.7 rating here.

Smell is heavy, dark rum, hints of alcohol and caramel. Nothing interesting here. The taste is sweet-ish, with immediate alcohol burn. So it tastes bit bitter, like burned caramel. Finish is kind of toffee taste, but bland with leftovers of that alcoholic burn. Overall, not really my taste and the amount of added sugar doesn't suit me too.

Vanila and fruit aroma. Sweeter taste. Very good quality for the price.

Cadeautje voor onze spelletjesenrumavondvriend, aangeraden door de slijter. Lekker zoet, fruitig en kruidig. Weer een aanrader erbij!

Highly underrated. Maybe one of the wet runs for the price point. Especially $50 and under bottles. While the 15 year is excellent, save the $20 and get the 12.

Slavná, skvělá, přesvědčivá a sladká brána do světa rumů.
Kdo slušný rum nikdy nepil, bude překvapen, ohromen a nejspíše i lapen.

This is my go to whenever I am settling in for a relaxing evening. The nose on this one is very smooth with a nice finish on the back of the palate. Savor every taste!
