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

C’est un rhum qui a une bonne odeur. En bouche c’est un délice, avec un gout très raffiné même s’il est moins riche en saveur que le 15. Il est aussi moins fort que son grand frère, plus doux et subtil mais il est difficile de les mettre en compétition, je dirais plutôt qu’ils sont complémentaire. Il est rare que je boive l’un sans me servir un verre de l’autre aussi.
It’s a rum that has a good smell. In the mouth it is a delight, with a very refined taste, even if it’s less rich in flavor than the 15. It is also less strong than its big brother, more sweet and subtle but it’s difficult to put them into competition, I would say they are complementary. It is rare that I drink one of them without having a glass of the other one as well.

In der Nase leichte Citrusfrüchte, geschmacklich sehr caramelig mit leicht scharfem Alkohol. Lang anhaltender Abgang.

The smoothest of the 3 (12, 15, 21).
A simple rum, not complex but very tasty. To small bottle, runs out quick!
Kijk hier gaat het nou om bij rum drinken dit is gewoon weg een genot om te drinken en echt een rum voor een speciale gelegenheid

I have a bottle of this at home, feels more like an after dinner drink than a sipping rum. Still quite nice and would recommend.

For this price you can't get a better rum although the step up to the 15 is well worth the extra few quid. Rich molasses and smoothness of a typical el dorado. This has minimal burn, flavor isn't overly complex but holds its own against more expensive rums. This was the first bottle of "proper" sipping rum I tried so might be a touch of nostalgia in this review
