Hi.

I'm noticing that most people reviewing El Dorado rums are doing so under the previous version threads rather than the new 2020 versions threads.

I imagine that there's not much of the old stuff about now, so would it be possible to change the titles from, e.g. El Dorado 12 and El Dorado 12 (2020 Version) to El Dorado 12 and El Dorado 12 (Pre 2020 Version), or something along those lines? 

That way I reckon the new reviews will attach to the new rums (12, 15 etc).

Cheers

In theory there should not be specific 'versions' for rums if there isn't a particular year noted on the bottle. In these cases I don't think the year is listed... is that right? If so then I'd merge them with the overall 'general' bottles so typical users don't get confused what they should rate.

We've had a few threads over the years if this is the right approach not differentiating between different 'liquids' if the bottles are the same. I take the approach that if a pretty well-informed RR user wouldn't know of a liquid change and if the bottle doesn't indicate a change, then basically to treat the rum as the same. Also I've found it's hard to actually know when the liquid change happens and it's more of a guess which bottles has which liquid.
