El Dorado (2020 Onwards) 12-Year

It surprises me that it took regulations to bring this to market. I've recently had their 8, 12 & 15yr old. The 12 stand out from them all. Right smack in the middle and the best of the the three. Lots of flavor like the 8yr and less bite with a tad more oak and a more realistic rum than the seemed to be watered down 15yr old. No need to try the 21yr old. That's just a cash grab at more than triple the price. Well done!

At first it's a bit harsh but if you give it some time it becomes well balanced. Great rum!

Good pirate rum delivered from Guyana.............

Seriously a fantastic rum for the price. This is a sipper that is a great mixer for the price. Huge value with this rum - can't go wrong.

Well balanced, not dry and no sweet, wood, leather,vanilla.

Lets say you have a friend that does not necessarily enjoy rum. This is a perfect gift. Inexpensive and perfect beginner rum.
You wont feel bad if it gets mixed, and its delicious on its own.
Worst case, your friend does not use it and that way, when you visit, you know he/she has this bottle on standby for you! So i spread these babies around!

I put a 10 up there because of the cost vs value factor. The average score of 7.5 is too low. This should be a solid 8.0 based on taste alone and not cost.

I am not an experienced rum drinker. The man in the liquor store could highly recommend the Eldorado. I had no expectations but I was pleasantly surprised. Rounder, sweeter and less sharp than what I'm used to from whiskey, for example. I will definitely try more rums in the future.

Not sure what the fuss is about, tried it multiple times as a sipping as well as with mixer, but couldn't find anything good about it.

Not sweet, a lot of taste perfect rum for party evening

Exceptionally smooth mouth and throat feel with a nice warming finish. Not tons of complexity, but carmel, raisin, and oak come through nicely for me. Perfect sweetness throughout. A good go-to neat sipper.
