I have to say i prefer 8yo Eldo as this one is a bit sweeter than I like. But still overall great rum for great price.
Very smooth and silky sipping rum. The only reason I didn't give 10 is because there is a possibility that there might exist even better rum.

I received this rum as a birthday present and it is a gift that has kept on giving. I occasional pick up another bottle and enjoy it more every time. Sweet and smooth!
A hint of vanille.. great taste . .

I used to love the Diplomatico Exclusiva rum, but as you delve deeper... it is after some time just sweet and otherwise a little bland. This rum is similar, but apart from the smoothness and sweetness it gives such a lot of various tones and flavors... mainly almonds (slighty bitter) and the barrel-taste (woodish tones).
Try and compare ;)
EDIT: Moved to 8/10 once I tried El Dorado 15 (9/10) and letting an open 10/10 once I taste 21-year old ;)

Av dessa tre är den 12-åriga kanske förvånansvärt nog den bästa. Helt enkelt en suveränt god rom! Bra med tanke på att den kostar minst av dem:-D! Den är ju då dessutom oerhört prisvärd! Bland mina top-tre just nu.

Sans le recommander à tous les repas, ce rhum est de loin le couteau suisse des rhum. Il saura plaire à tous. Un petit rhum abordable qui saura dépanner sans vous ruiner.
Great expectations for this rum only to get an overly sweet sugary alcohol drink. Not to complex flavors (black sugar - fruits and a bit of tofee) leaving behind just the taste of water washed sugar.
If you want to know how it tastes without buying it try this: put a candy or a lollipop in your mouth for two minutes. Now add a drop of alcohol and wash out with water. There you have it! El Dorado 12 years!
This is not the way a rum should taste. A big disappointment...
For those who want to enjoy a cigar with a rum this is not the right option.

This rum offers some of the best value for money rum out there. It works fine as a sipper, and is inexpensive enough to be used in cocktails.

My favourite sipper. I'm out right now and I'm missing not having a bottle.
I tried the 5, 8, 12, 15 & 23 at the UK rumfest the 12 was the most enjoyable ..... But that was a lot of rum in one hit and without drinking a whole bottle of the 15 and not being able to afford the 23 it's hard to be sure...
