Just started a new job and my wife bought me this as a gift. The El Dorado 12 is my go to rum. This is so much more complex a rum. This is not as sweet as the 12 but is just as thick in the mouth. Definitely let it sit in your glass before sipping let it breath a little . You will not be disappointed.

BIen que je recommande le ED 12 pour l'amateur de rhum de tous les jours, le ED21 saura sans aucun doute vous plaire. Son coût 3x plus élevé que le ED12 et son goût ne justifie p-ê pas un achat. Goutez-y quand vous en aurez la chance. Mais je ne suis pas certain que sur un test à l'aveugle le commun des mortels différencie le ED12, ED15 ou le ED21 bien que le dernier ait des notes un peu plus subtils et une arôme qui se développe doucement.

This is a heavy, sweet, lovely balanced, yet often challenging rum.

It is however, quite expensive, and thus, the 15 yo is the better value for money in my opinion.

Lidt overraskende her lige smagt på en El 12 og 15 og jeg syntes at el 15 var den bedste . Der var en smule bitterhed i den, og jeg syntes at smagen forsvinder for hurtig for en Rom i den prisklasse lidt skuffet 😞

The nose is quite dry and the alcohol is maybe a little bit too much present. The palate is quite spicy, with notes of coffee, grilled bread and vanilla. The finish is long and elegant.

It's a well-matured ultra-mellow South American molasses rum. I love a Zacapa 23, this is IMO marginally better. Nice bottle, cork stopper.
Glass: Dark amber
Nose: Full aroma of dried fruit and nuts, hint of spice
Mouth: VERY mellow, all the fruit and toffee you need, restrained sweetness with a hint of wood. Excellent balance, that lingers.
Burn: Gentle, subtle - leaves you wanting more.

It is a clear cut above the El Dorado 12 and in fact all the other demeraras I've tried.

Bought this one for my brother and had the opportunity to taste it.... "Wow" is the only thing I can say.

Alert reading reviews on this rum i decided to give it a go. Totally happy with the choice. Super smooth with a great aroma and a silkyness that makes drinking it a pleasure.

Tried this rum recently and it is one of the few that can match the original zacapa 23

Klasse Eldorado mit passendem Preis,auch der 12 und 15 jährige sind Klasse und ich habe mir einige Flaschen auf die Seite gelegt,Wer weiss wie sich die Qualitäten entwickeln bei den weltweit stark steigenden Rum Absätzen.Zum regelmässigen Genuss absolut geeignet da mit 70-80 Euro der Preis absolut in Ordnung geht ,nur beim Centenario 20 oder 25 aus Costa Rica ist das PLV noch besser.
Die 25 jährigen Abfüllungen mit 5 -10 fachem Preis sind nur unwesentlich besser und den Mehrpreis nicht wert
