Bon rapport qualité prix. Un rhum de cette âge pour le prix, wow! Un goût de vanille et très épicé. Très boisé. Couleur très foncé j aime bien.

had a tasting after dinner with the plantation gran anejo, anejo has more flavour but El Dorado is smoother on the tongue and nose

For the price about 25 EUR, I didn´t find any better rum with so complexity. It took a while for me to enjoy it, but then it was worth of it. I´am looking forward to older versions.

Nagyon kellemes selymes rum. Illatában és ízében is hozza amit ígér. Nálam elmaradt a wow faktor,de ez nyilván ízlés kérdése is! De bátran ajánlom egy beszélgetős estére!

Wow unbelivable value for money. Distinct and balanced. Will buy much more.

Slightly spicy up front that mellows to reveal a buttery banana flavor. Great for sipping.

I prefer this to the more expensive 15yr and for the price ($30 in Chicago) I haven’t found a better value for a rum to sip on. I think it has a nice initial flavor and there is definitely a bit of a burn afterwards but overall I think this is a great stock rum to keep around. Medium dark color, very smooth for the price point, well balanced.

I think it's a good rum to start with. It lets you experience multiple dimensions of flavours within a few seconds. After every sip you immediately get a little alcohol burn in combination with the typical taste of rum, but nevertheless it still runs smooth on your throat. Then you'll enjoy the vanilla aroma wich will be followed up with a strong but enjoyable aroma of Orange

Quite a bite. Blended with a softer rum, easier to drink

In nose and taste you can find sugar, honey and touch of tropical fruits.
