The initial smell resembles petrol and leaves me with mixed feelings.
Afterwards I detect coconuts and sugar and oak.
Taste is very sweet and you get the coconut again.
When compared to Diplomatico RE, this rum is perhaps on the same level of sweetness, but because the alcohol is way more present in here, the spirit seems more firey, but still smooth enough.
One of the most interesting flavour profiles on the rum market.

Ce rhum est un des meilleurs au monde souvent dans les 10 meilleurs.superbe equilibre.tres doux sucre sur la vanille et toffee.a gouter absolument pour tout amateur.je prefere de peu le 15 ans plus suptil et un peu sur des notes de wisky mais moins sucre.le 12 ans correspond au plus grand nombre et surtout si vous aimez les rhum sucrés.note 8.5.

Excellent sip rum with a good amount of sugar but not in excess. We did a tasting of the 12,15, 21 years and this 12 years was just as good as the older older ones , if not better. One of my favourite.

Nice smell of coke when poured in the glass. With the sweetness the alcohol is not the first taste. Various notes one the sweetness has disappeared from the tongue.

Rhum du Guyana qui s'est forgé une belle réputation.
Design : jolie présentation, avec un bouchon en liège, ce rhum a une belle couleur ambrée.
Nez : fruité et caramel.
Goût : attaque très douce puis montée en puissance des arômes, boisé, pointe d'amertume puis longue finale très moelleuse.
Même si on retrouve la rondeur des rhums de tradition anglaise, ce rhum est trop sucré pour être honnête.
Niveau goût, on se rapproche du "diplomatico reserva exclusiva" avec un arôme caramel moins prononcé.

Nice but I was expecting more from a 12 year old rum.

Très bon rhum guyanais; s'il est certes moins complexe que le 15 ans, et un peu plus agressif au palais, il est d'une très bonne facture, rond, moelleux et sucré. Le nez est très fruité, en bouche on retrouve le caramel et des touches de fruits rouges, de noix, ainsi que des notes un peu amères d'écorces d'orange. La finale est persistante et très agréable. Pour le prix, c'est un très très bon produit!

At the beginning smooth and sweet with a strong nice finish. Very good choice
I just got a bottle of this El Dorado 12 year rum in from a friend I did consulting for, and this is a great bottle. Distinct caramel notes, certainly fruity hints in this rum. Smooth finish, no more to be said. One of my favorites. I have not tried the 15 year to compare, however the 15 year would have to be absolutely outstanding to outshine the 12.

Very nice smell, very good taste, all kinds of tastes going on. Like this one as a sipper, but also works great in tiki drinks.
I actually like this one better than the 15 year, I think this one has a really good value. Especially since it's not too expensive.
