Lots of banana and fruit. Quite sweet, but still a decent sipper.

El Dorado 12-year is probably one of the best sipping rums I know. Perfectly balanced with a slight kick and delicious notes. Would recommend this one to anyone.

On the nose:
Alcohol, coffee, banana, coconut, and vanilla.

Taste:
Hints of vanilla, caramel, roasted banana, and coconut, and a soothing sweet and alcohol finish.

Summary:
Great rum for sipping.
Great for more premium drinks or cocktails.

flavors of vanilla and oak, great balance on the notes compared to simular types of rum. Less sugar and more mature flavor than for example, Zacapa Centenario 23

This is my current favorite sipping rum that I always keep on hand. It is sweet, and this is another rum that has sugar added, but the flavors and balance are still so good that I don't mind the extra sweetness. That can be cut with ice as well. Overall this rum is very smooth, has a beautiful warmth and flavor that opens up as you sip it. It has a very caramel forward nose, and subtle citrus accents on the palate, with a long smooth finish - no burn. I have also tried the 15 year and I don't like it as much. There is some after-taste, or underlying flavor I haven't been able to put my finger on in the 15 year that I don't like. I'd rather drink the 12, and for the price-point, this is my favorite rum in my bar.

Top shelf quality - very drinkable neat - particularly smooth with a great balance and medium length. Nice colour too. Would recommend.

Smooth rum that has an excellent flavour and just a touch of smoke and very little burn. I always have multiple bottles on hand!
