El Dorado 21 is produced near the equator in Guyana by Demerara distillery. The final product is a blend of rums, aged between 21 and 25 years and crafted using 100% locally sourced Demerara sugar. Traditional tools are used in the distilling processes including three unique wooden stills. The rums rest until maturity in 45 gallon oak casks.

Un rhum à l'anglaise avec un petit côté whisky. Avec une belle profondeur et une persistance en bouche appréciable. J'aime beaucoup.

Nose: The aromas are very similar to Cognac. The front is sweet and oily, reminiscent of a Chinese medicine, made with honey and herbs, that I often came across before. Lindt chocolate with liqueur in it. There's also oyster sauce, pepper, and dusty wooden chairs from my grandma's storage room. Sporadic hints of light mocha cake.
Palate: Distinctly sweet and has very much the same notes as in the nose. This time, through, the mocha takes a step forward, accompanied by warm cappuccino. Glazed bananas, pancake syrup, and lots of tannins. There's a slight bitterness near the end.
Finish: Medium finish and still sweet. Lingering wood.

Very smooth, but not as flavorful as the 15 year. I won’t buy this again, too expensive for the taste.

This is a very pleasant rum, and very well made. It just isn't that interesting. A refined and drinkable rum, I can't find any fault in it except that it just lacks... Something I just can't put my finger on.

Great rum for whiskey drinkers. Features notes of vanilla, fruit and molasses, like the 12-year and 15-year, with powerful notes of oak and an incredibly smooth finish. The only thing that deters me from buying this again is the $120 price point.

Very hard notes of oak, for me it is very similar to some kind of whiskey. El Dorado 12 is more to my toungue. El Dorado 15 is next to be tasted.
Edit: After few weeks, when i have tryed this rum again I have completely changed my mind, hard oak whiskey notes are gone, only perfection left in the bottle now !

Po dnešním srovnání rumů El Dorado 12, 15 a 21 neví co si mám myslet. Budu muset srovnání nejspíše opakovat. :-) 12 je pro mne TOP rum i přes svoji sladkou chuť nebo možná pro ni. 15 je dobrá a chuťově malinko i lepší, tedy podle mojí chutě. U 21 pak dochází prozatím ke zklamání. Vůně téměř žádná a i když mám čich hodně slabý, tak jsem čekal aspoň něco více. Chuť dosti lihová a to jsem se musel přesvědčit na láhvi kolik má %, Má stejně 43% jako El Dorado 15. To například u Foursquare 2008, které mi chutná hodně a má 60% cítím sladkost a ne líh. Uvidíme po druhém pokusu a případném pití tohoto rumu samostatně.
Druhý pokus proběhl ve znamení pití tohoto rumu samostatně po několika dnech. Z rumu jsou najednou cítit daleko více sladké tóny peckovitého ovoce a jemný náznak vůně vlašských ořechů s hořkou čokoládou. Chuť je daleko intenzívnější, nebo aspoň její vjemy. Je nasládlý s chuťově hodně podobný svým mladším sourozencům i když ne tak intenzivně. Nevím zda cenový rozdíl mezi jednotlivými rumy EL Dorado 12-15-21za to stojí, to si musí zodpovědět každý sám. Já jsem rád, že jsem jej mohl ochutnat.

This is good (really a 7.5), would happy drink again, and it's a nice sipper, but given the choice I'd take the 15-Year Old any time - just seemed a little unbalanced in comparison.

It's good

El Dorado is interesting. It smells very bland and boring in the bottle/glass, typical stuff you smell from any non-commercial rum. However drinking it straight is very unique. I would not recommend straight, it is quite the harsh sipper and I always find myself scratching my head at how some people sip somethings straight. It needs a tad of cola to tame it. But wow what a nice body. Thin entry, huge body in the middle that is super blent together to make this wonderful unique taste and a typical rum ending, silky is a way to describe it. Its a good blend of sweetness and dry. It's good but not worth the price honestly. Comparable to Mount Gay XO quality and price range. It would be more enjoyable too if their was less heat but that's okay can't win them all but it's a very good thing to sample. I picked mine up in a thing call a "connoisseurs choice" pack where it had the 12, 15 and 21 year for 10$ at the duty free. Which if you're like me and just like to buy to sample it's a very economic way to sample!
