El Dorado 3-Year

Did not expect a lot and got nothing.
Just an alcohol, with touch of demerara sugar. Charcoal taste, which I don't like.
Hope it will be ok for cocktails.

I'm largely basing this rating as a comparison to other whites in the under $20.00 range - this one just does it for me. I find it outstanding in the Daiquiri - it's my top so far. I find it to have nice, buttery notes, and a light, creamy texture that ups the level of the cocktail. Nice sweetness, but not overly done, and decently smooth overall with some seriously mild alcohol burn that doesn't last. Also worth mixing with other whites to shift the flavor profiles around in your cocktails. Yes - this is a great mixing rum; I'm not rating it as a sipper (while not the best in that role, it's better than many...). I strongly recommend this one.

If this is the base Rum that matures and become the El Dorado 12 i can understand why my impression of this juice is so high on my tongue. it is definitely a sipper, and a very good one. the approach for sipping white rums should be more forgiving and less judging them compared to dark rums. i had a very positive experience with the El Dorado 3 bottle and once i find it offered for the same price i got the first i will surely buy more. this is surely one of the better rums which also convinced me not to be afraid of sipping white rums, that's after long ago i had some negative experience with cheap rums. on the nose it's very pleasant, like knowing that your'e soon gotta get some candy. on the tongue it's pleasantly rich while not burning of youthness as expected in such cases. 3 years seems to be quite enough to make a solid tasty run even compared to very young single malts and Cognacs. this means that there is much room in the rum industry to offer wide high quality sipping white rums. my verdict, in a white rum scale, is 8/10 only the Plantation 3 Stars scores more in this category. i will be happy to drink more of both. and if there is a better white, so please bring it to me!

Good work horse for a tiki bar but a definite keep under the bar bottle.

Dejlig Rum til at mixe med, jeg kan ikke anbefale den som Sipper

No character, they must have filtered the hell out of it. At least there is a bit of age detectable. Good for mixing though.

White colour, nice taste. Typical white rum but nothing special

I mean I shouldnt have expected much from a young white rum, but once you get past the sting its not bad. Probably on par with a bacardi white however with less funk.

This rum has no smell whatsoever. Tasting it neat at first tastes like vodka, then come some subtle rum flavors. When mixing it you won't even know it's there.

It's good but there's better choices out there!!!!
