Vanilla and sweet notes. Very pleasing, sweet taste. A bit harsh on the nose and palate while neat. Give it time to breathe, drop an ice cube or use this for cocktails. Affordable and versatile. Keep this bottle on your shelves.

Aroma: butternut lifesaver, yum! The taste is more like vanilla.
I think this would be good with cinnamon simple syrup and some peach juice, although that would likely not qualify as a tiki drink.

Not the best I’ve had, but far from the worst. Made a batch of Coquito using this and it seemed to do the trick.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 6/3/19. Grain aroma. Incredibly smooth and delicate. Has a lot of agricole-like notes. Good stuff for a demerara mixer.

Re-tasted on 6/30/21. Bread dough aroma. Acetyl. Butterscotch and vanilla. Mild pepper and spice mid-way. Muted sweetness finishes clean. Less impressed and move my score from a 6 to a 5.

($25CAD) - Got this one to make some vanilla extract but figured I'd give it a shot straight up.
Not too much going on aroma-wise; A bit of butterscotch maybe.

Taste has upfront sticky carmel with a hint of those coconut candies and some butterscotch. No depth though, as the flavour quickly fades into heat.

Not a great sipping rum but could be fun in mixed drinks.

Got this as an alternative to standard Bacardi to try something new. More harsh alcohol taste than expected but mixes well as anticipated.

I first encountered El Dorado 3 year on a trip to visit family where I was asked to make cocktails. My go to rum from this category has been Plantation 3 Star. I find this to be a decent substitute. Has a bit more of an earthy tone to it that Plantation does not. I feel like 6 really hits where this is. It is fine for mixed drinks but I would go with Plantation 3 star if a store had both.

This is a good choice for a light rum for mixing cocktails. No off flavors, tastes young but doesn't have that alcohol burn associated with some of the cheaper light rum brands. Mixes well with other rums.

Good price point ($19) for a solid mixing silver rum. I had a few glasses on rocks and it comes off unsurprisingly piney and boozy but there are some nice oak and chocolate notes here. Would buy again in a pinch, but more importantly this seems like a decent starting point to discovery the other finery of El Dorado. πŸ™πŸ‡¬πŸ‡Ύ

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.
