Le rhum eldorado 8 ans est bon et goûte le bon demerara mais pour quelque sous de plus le 12 ans est a mon avis meilleur.

I can sip it forever but I get the slightly extra amount of chocolate & whisky like flavors as too much.
Definitely a high level rum though.
For certain tiki drinks, it’s the ish

On the nose I get notes of treacle from this 8 year old El Dorado Rum, which inevitability makes my mind think of Christmas Pudding. Drank neat, the sweet fruity flavour of this rum is clearly evident, because that’s immediately what you experience on your palate. However, although this rum is sugary, which I love in all rums, (got a sweet tooth what can I say) it’s a thumbs down from me, for three reasons. Firstly, the burn is very harsh. Secondly, it tastes like Christmas Pudding which I can’t stand! And finally, there is zero taste in the finish. In El Dorado’s defence, it does mix well with full fat Coca-Cola and improves some what. But even with the dark fizzy pop coming to its aid, this rum still ends up tasting smoky and heavy with a very strange aftertaste. In that regards, I feel it’s very similar to the entry level offering from Don papa.

Fantastic mixer. The best ginger beer and rum cocktail I have ever had.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 7/2/19. Delightful aroma of molasses and honey. a slight upfront bite on the palate that smooths out with sweet maple and has a whopping sweet finish. Big banana sweetness with some bourbon notes. Not as good as the 12 year.

Sans être mauvais, pour la différence de prix avec le 12ans, aucune raison d’acheter ce produit. Rhum sans grande particularité, assez sec sur des arômes de cerise. Contrairement au 12 ans qui se boit seul, ce rhum est plus fait pour les drinks.

I like this one a lot. Sweeter than the 12 but with a bit more tang, and lighter wood notes. It is pretty easy to drink; makes for a good sipper, with character that some might prefer over the more aged ones (not me, but...). Definitely more mature and refined than the 5, and it really wants to be its older brother. Good for mixing too, and in my opinion, worth the price difference from the 5 year to just stick with this one.
