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.

I got this rum as a gift from my mother. It was my first rum and as such my first love in the world of rum. It is sweet, has a lot of smoke and wood flavours and is an easy rum to enjoy, even for beginners.

This rum has a nice deep golden-red colour, with a pleasantly mild sweet alcohol smell. This is a well balanced sweet tasting rum, with enough of a smokey finish to make it an enjoyable sipper.

Sweet and smooth straight up. Easily recommendable to people new to rum.
The differences between the 12-year and 15-year El Dorado are existent but slim in my opinion. While I do prefer the 15-year overall, if you can get the 12-year for much cheaper, go for it.
EDIT: After comparing the 12-year and 15-year again, I'd say the 15-year has a more complex taste compared to the 12-year and the 12-year overall just goes down easier since it is sweeter.

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.
