It's a soft sweet ride. Holds on the palate and the sugercane loviness lingers

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.

Nezklamal a neprekvapil. Konzumni lepsi rum. Jemnesi chuti s pocatecnim silnejsim alkoholovym oderem ale jemnou chuti avsak nijak vyranou ci specifickou chuti. Vypit lahev bych nepovazoval za problem.

edit. po přechutnání přidávám bod za příjmenou komplexnost a pitelnost této láhve

A very balanced rum, has the smell that instantly bring a smile to your face. The colour and taste do not disappoint. High recommendation.

I have just started to try different rums. Was primarily drinking Appleton 12 year, and really enjoyed. I found this site and investigated different rums, and also affordable. I have just picked up the El Dorado 12 year, and found the Kirk and Sweeney 18 on sale, so bought that as well. I must say, I really enjoyed the El Dorado better. I am not the type of person who can pick out different flavors from a rum. I just know it has a wonderful taste, and was very smooth. I think this will become my new favorite rum
