I love this rum neat. It is really smooth and doesn't have strong alcohol taste.

One of the first rum I've tasted. Liked it a lot then and I like it a lot still. Really nice sipping rum with a great taste. It is also really good in a cuba libre (sacrilege I know, but it was part of a tasting experiment). Haven't tried the siblings yet, but looking forward to it.

First I liked it, but then my dislike of anything sweet alcohol got over, bottle is still almost full.
But I did't want to give up, so I purchased 21 yo

I just like it...sweet, dark, almost viscous. I'm not a big rum "taster" but I like the smoothness and silky note that this rum has on my palate.

Guter Demara Rum - mild und eine gewisse Süße. Dessert Rum

I really like this rum, it is good, round, sweet and almost will be able to enjoy it, even the girls. A good 'starter' for the untrained.

Should be better than it is. I actually prefer this with coke instead of straight up.

El Dorado 12 Years rum is internationaal erkend als een premium rum met al heel wat gouden plaketten, de meest prestigieuze prijs die deze rum heeft gewonnen is de International Gold Medal, een competitie waarin de 40 beste Carabische rums de strijd aangaan.

Wat betreft de blend, deze is gemaakt van speciaal geselecteerde oude rums, de jongste rum heeft zelfs 12 jaar lang mogen rijpen in eikenhouten vaten! De kleur is fantastisch, de donkere eikenhouten kleur van de rum heeft iets kruidigs in zich en de aroma’s die er vanaf komen zijn werkelijk waar verbluffend; hints van citrusvruchten die worden afgewisseld met kaneel, bruine suiker en vanille, een waar genot voor de neus en mond.
