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

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!
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.

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.

I feel priviliged that I had the opportunity to have 1 sip of this nectar. the oak taste stuck with me for 24 hours and I can't get it out of my mind ever since. 600 eur for a bottle, if you can find it at all, is slightly over my budget unfortunately.

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.
It's a perfect blend of rums aged at least 25 years.The alcohol is well balanced.Intense and enveloping

I have had a bottle of the 1980 distilled El Dorado for a couple years now. It is unique and a little complicated. We still have a difficult time isolating all the flavours but it so enjoyable we don't worry about it too much. Undoubtedly this is something you do not mix with. As I do with most drinks, I prefer it on the rocks but straight up is fine as well. Smooth going down but try to savour it before it does. I don't drink it too often as it price tag is steep but for a special occasion I reach for this every time.
