Tää rommi on kyllä ehdottomasti parasta luokkaa. Kova kisa esim. Plantation XOn kanssa.

I love the Navy bottle, and what it holds. Initially I found 12 years in oak casks had invaded the aroma but only momentarily, then Irish whiskey and bourbon took over as the first flavors. Why Irish whiskey? Well it was St. Patty's and I had been at a little bit of the bottle of good Irish, but really that had been earlier and only the memory of that taste remained. This was good rum, well balanced with hints of fruit and honey. Yes it is sweet but not overly so, I highly recommend it neat.

This is my go to rum that I've been drinking for ages and considering the price compared to the ED 15 you just can't beat it. I mostly drink it straight up but also add it to mixers when I want to add something special to a drink. My only complaint is like most of the other ED rums is the added sugar but I think the 12 isn't as bad as the 15 or the 21 but do realize that this rum does lean toward the sweet side.

Very smooth over one ice cube. Has an odd after taste that is hard to place. My palate isn't as refined as it could be and others could probably pick out that taste. Not my favorite so far but not bad.

In der Nase angenehme Ausgewogenheit von Süße, Frucht und etwas holzig-vanillige Würze. Angenehmeres Aroma als der 15jährige. Im Mund leicht, mild und süß mit dezenten Fruchtanklängen und sehr zurückhaltender Würze. Kaum Holz, keine Ecken, keine Kanten, ausgewogen -- oder eben langweilig.

Dejlig mild rom, i den søde ende. En rigtig fin starter rom, som vil falde i manges smag.
