El Dorado 8-Year

At first, I was rather dissapointed by the bottle, but after having a few sips, I was intrigued enough to empty the bottle with several friends over night. Honestly, the taste is quite smooth but not sweet as is the case with many rums, but still delivers a very distinct rum flavour, with vanilla oak and maybe hints of tobacco hitting my palate. It lacks greater some depth, but as it is, this 8-year rum doesn't really need it and given the age and the price, to me this is as good as it gets. Really very close to perfect in the category, as it is a quality sipping experience and tastes great in cocktails (Tried a few basic ones, including Daiquiri, A rum old fashioned, Mojito and Mary Pickford, although they all call for a white rum)

No bite, just right. Very smooth sippin' rum, a little sweet, drinking it as write. A very little alcohol taste on the back end but not to much at all- very easy going, nice. I drink import rum as my go to drink other than beer and figured I'd give this one a try for the price since I read a lot of reviews. Three filtered water ice cubes and a just a little extra filtered water as I like my rum somewhat watery rather than straight on the rocks as others might like it. Smells delicious, maybe a little honey nose initially, a sweet somewhat cask smell as well, would pair well with a nice bowl of Captain Black White Pouch tobacco pipe if I still smoked but I don't smoke the pipe anymore. On the tongue again- smooth, no real bite like some others I've tried. I don't think you could go wrong picking this up if you like a smooth sippin' rum.

My number one go to aged rum. And for the price, there is little else that compares. Rum is my drink of choice, but I have not yet learned to review and distinguish all the nuances and subtleties. I just know what I like. And I like this one very much. I have tried nearly every El Dorado rum that I have had the opportunity to purchase.

Beautiful golden color. Sweet spicy taste with a good aftertaste.

Velice dobry rum s bajecnym pomerem cena/vykon. Vune je krasne nasladla a ovocna, chut opet sladsi, rum je jemny, ale je citit trochu alkoholovy ocas. Vyborne piti, doporucuji.

Som titel siger, lyder som et eventyr og glæder mig vildt til at få denne flaske åbnet også :)

I really liked this rum. It has hints of caramel and brown sugar. Can be enjoyed on its on or with your favorite mix.

Typical demerara flavour. Strong, molases rum like taste. Caramel and woody flavour are in nice balance. Like it.

Pour le prix, il est excellent à boire seul ou avec une glace.

El dorado 8 is een prima rum om puur te drinken. Een complexe smaak, banaan, tabak en fruit.

Edit:
Kon wel eens de beste El Dorado zijn. Met 'maar' 8-15 gr/L suiker.
