it is a bit more men, than woman, if you have a comparing look to the diplomatico 12. dense, bold, some smoke, caramell, and some bitter elements. although a good rum for starting purpose.

Finally tried the ED12 and not dissapointed as I expected. Nice balanced rum, smells delicious and drinks a way easy. Drank the 15y a while ago and must say,,It's better, but if your wallet can't afford more expensive rums, the 12y comes damn close. For that reason,like for example the abuelo 12y also,,,,an easy 8!

I enjoyed a glass of this at a restaurant simply to try it out. I always keep a bottle of the 15 year or 2 on my shelf. It was quite good as one might expect if your at all familiar with this line of rums. Granted I will probably only buy this bottle if my store happens to be out of the 15 year.

To match the depth and quality of the El Dorado 12 yr you will have to spend a lot more. This rum is everything it set out to be and more and is a basic pillar of a good rum collection.

A very good rum for a decent price. Smooth & full. No "bite" and a good starter rum.

Der El Dorado 12 trifft leider nicht meinen Geschmack. Der Rum ist nicht sehr süss, dafür sehr scharf und würzig, der Alkoholgeschmack steht zu sehr im Vordergrund. Vor dem Trinken umbedingt ein paar Minuten stehen lassen, dann kommen auch die Geschmacksnuancen besser zur Geltung.

When I drank 7-y El dorado I looked forward to this one. And I am certainly not dissapointed. Great sipping rum.
