Verstehe die hohen Ratings nicht. Irgendwie langweilig.

Oaky, I think it tastes a lot like it's younger brother (8y), just a little more refined. Don't know if the higher price is justified compared to the 8y old, especially when mixed. I guess I need to have some more tasting sessions.

This rum as lots of added sugar but tastes excellent. Awesome straight or as a mix. Great bargain for the price.

Op zich een goede smaak maar veel te zoet. Beter Neem je de 8 jaar of 15 jaar.

El Dorado is a good one for sipping. It's quite strong (alcohol) for me. When there is no Diplomatico left in my cabinet this is a good substitution.

Value for money rum, would not consider to buy his 15 year older brother. This one is not too sweet and has a gentle aftertaste. One of my standards to have in the basket. All day sipper.

I used to think this rum is fairly decent but now it seems to me like the absurd amount of sugar added to it ruins it. I don't enjoy it any more neat because it is way too sweet. For cocktails it is still reasonably useful when you adjust the sugar level of the recipe down considerably.
