Strong demerara rum and excellent mixer. While this rum is decent neat, its price point makes it a great mixer for quality cocktails. It has a delightfully sweet and full bodied flavor that does not linger very long. Well balanced and not overpowering flavor.

A cheaper option to the ED12. Still has a strong molasses flavour, with a little char from the barrel. I buy this all the time.

Mir ist dieser Rum zu „scharf“, besonders im Hals. Er hat eine angenehme Nase ist aber zum trinken eher durchschnittlich.

I'm not a sipper. Mix it with coke and twist of lime. El Dorado 5 is great. 8 is even better. Haven't tried the others like 12. Almost afraid too. El Dorado 8 is so perfect, why spoil it?

Une belle entrée en matière avec les rhums de Demerara ! Nez typique, bouche puissante, aussi bon pur qu’en cocktails !

Nice rum it’s smooth with good aroma. I prefer it more than the Appleton Estate.

El Dorado 8-years was my first Demerara Rum. And for the price (24€), this rum presents already a nice quality. I think a 7 suits perfect, and is recommendable for most, as a sipping or cocktails mixing rum.
Caramel and Molasses flavour, brings a lot of oak too. Rich.
Medium-bodied, good balance, sweet caramel aftertaste.
Looking forward to try the 12 and 15-Years, and for sure more Guyana Rums.

This is solid stuff, perfect for mixing and making exceptional cocktails. In some ways it's actually better than the 12, less added sugar, more complex. Unfortunately it's just way too expensive in Australia.

I like all the El Dorado series. This is the best. A tad bit pricey. But well worth it.

Mixed with Coca-cola, twist of lime.

I love Myer's Rum. Also like Sailor Jerry's. But it's a bit strong.

El Dorado and Myer's, all time best. Just right amount of sweetness.
