Love this rum, I am new to the rum segment, and can drink this with or without ice, depends how I'm feeling. Will always have this on my shelf. So happy, I am willing to try the entire El Dorado line up, I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

I have to say the first couple of glasses of this reminded me of the wedding rums I was use to so a lot like Lambs navy but after letting the rum breathe in the glass a few minutes before mixing brought out the best in this rum .....let it breath !!' And enjoy this one

warm and sophisticated. It did not want to drink a lot, but I want him to never ended.
Very nice and smooth rum. Not too sweet and not to strong. Bottle is more mainstream.

Not as good as the 15 year but that is setting an unfair standard. Still this stands well as a very enjoyable sipper. An added bonus is the price point.

This rum is very good for sipping straight. It's super sweet and smells like caramel.

El Dorado 15 was the first good rum I ever tried and remained my favourite for years. I never sought out the 12 assuming it would be inferior. I was wrong, the 12 has a depth that the banana smash in the 15 kills a little. Absolutely delicious, can't give it a ten because of what else is out there to try but it's amazing.

Suger dominates the profile. Its similar to Diplomatico Exclusiva with maybe a slightly better over flavor. There is some maple syrup, vanilla, oak, and pepper on the finish with everything playing second fiddle to the sweetness.
