My failsafe bottle of choice! It is the cheapest one in my cabinet, and I prefer it or regard it as an equal to most of the rest.
I base my reviews on what I previously purchased, this is a nice rum but not so sweet. I would say it scores slightly less than zacapa solero 23 and the average score of 7.6 I'd about where I would put it.

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.

Can be used as a sipper or in more premium cocktails.
Love the vintage bottle, very Smokey smell with amazing taste! My best rum so far

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

..and I am very pleased to have tasted it. Great experience, looking forward to more!
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.

There are better rums. There are cheaper rums. But for the price (<$30), this is the finest rum you can buy. Great starter, delicious sipper. Neat, or on ice. Wonderful. Light taste, slightly sweet, smooth. Delicious aroma. Magnificent nose. There's always a bottle of ED12 in my cupboard.
