This is truly a premium rum. The packaging and the rum itself are fantastic. This is an exceptionally smooth rum, tasty with no after burn. It's sweet with rich chocolate taste balanced with the demerara sugar taste too.

Its something that you treat yourself to once in your life time as at this price its a costly thing to buy.

I'd not buy it again due to the price. I think for value to money I'd rather have its younger brother or the English Harbour 25.

Picked it up duty free at Piarco Airport in Trinidad. Extremely smooth, very easy to drink. At $300 US it is definitely not something I will buy often, but every now and again you must indulge. Here are rums out there that cost 50,000 a bottle, and I can't imagine they taste any better than this.

This is the first El Dorado rum that i had tasted and it pretty much ruined me for any other rum.
I have now been gifted with a 25 Year Limited Edition and i am savoring every drop.I had to rate it as a 10, because i have ranted about this rum for years.

Like the millennium edition, the 1980 is as close to rum perfection as you can get. Smooth and balanced, rich and complex. The price is commensurate with the experience.

Smooth, tasty, hint of vanilla. It is the ideal rum to demonstrate what a rum should taste like neat.

The bottle, the smell, the taste. All amazing. Only down side is I only have one bottle of it.

Sugar: Estimated at 45 GPL which makes for a very sweet rum, but it's so good! The El Dorado flavour profile of Oak, Vanilla, caramel, spice, and smoke are all present and accounted for, and on a side note, I also tasted a bit of orange and chocolate. Overall this rum has the complexity of flavour you expect from high end and high cost rums.
There is no harshness to this rum, and it goes down far too smooth but the good thing is that the flavours linger on your palate for a long time after. Savour this rum and take your time, or the flavour train will be gone too soon. One of the smoothest rums I have had the pleasure to taste. Put this rum on your bucket list as it is a top shelf rum.

I think I just had a rumgasm. Normally I prefer the more powerful rums, but there is no denying that this just tastes fantastic.

I have been drinking Rum for 30 years. This is in my top two without a doubt. The flavours are super subtle, there is really no after burn or harshness. I tasted flavours of sultanas, figs sand mild oak. Best to enjoy this with friends and straight up - no ice. As others have said, only downside is just one in my collection.

The best rum I have ever tried! I was lucky to try it at the uk rumfest 2014 and it was exceptional! So smooth and full of flavour! Still very tempted to buy a bottle!
