It may not be what I look for in a rum, but I can appreciate that it's a very flavourful rum with a depth that many will appreciate.

Not sure if I'm doing this rum justice as I had it only the once after a couple of whiskeys but I found it a bit lighter and sweeter than its 15 yr old brother which I prefer. Will have to try again with the 15 year sometime and perhaps revise my score if it impresses me further

I am just starting drinking rum, so I need to learn more before giving reviews.

The El Dorado 12 Year rum is sweet but spicy. I always catch myself comparing it with the even sweeter but somewhat similar Ron Botucal. I like El Dorado more. :)

First sip burns and warm up your throath with a nice sweet smoked tast. Second sip leave you with a pleasant smooth tast of karamel and spicies almost coating your mouth.

Has nice demerara flavors and goes down lightly and smoothly.
The oakiness is a bit stronger, than I would like and the sugar content knocks down a point from the rating. Sweet alcohols give me headache and I've surely felt those ~40g/l.

De la douceur, c'est le mot pour définir ce rhum! J'ai adoré. Légèrement sucré. Vraiment sur le fruit, la finesse de ce rhum m'a laissé séduit!

Nicht mein Geschmack da ich lieber etwas milderen Rum bevorzuge. Der erste Eindruck ist recht intensiv. Einen deutlichen Unterschied kann man im Vergleich mit dem 21 Jahre alten El Dorado deutlich feststellen. Nicht meine erste Wahl, kommt nicht in mein Regal.

Kan rigtig godt lide den. Personligt ville jeg offer lidt mere og købe 15 års modellen

This rum is very smoothe, and interestingly complex. It is an incredible value for such a great sipping rum.
