Prior to purchasing the 12-year old El Dorado I have bought the 15-year old. Having read many reviews with some people saying they prefer the 12 to the 15 I thought the two rums were at least en par.

The ED 12 tastes sweeter compared to the ED15, even though the ED 15 is supposed to have quite a bit more added sugar. The ED 12 is a pleasant rum on its own and given that it's reasonably priced, I can recommend trying it. You won't like it if you're not into sweet rums thoug

Compared to the ED 15, it's hands down just not as nice. The 15 is much more complex and has a lot more body to it.

Edit: It's best on the rocks.

Sødme 5/10
Speciel næse.
Sjov krads kortvarig smag som ikke afrundes eller foldes ud synes dybden udebliver.

My favourite sipper. I'm out right now and I'm missing not having a bottle.

I tried the 5, 8, 12, 15 & 23 at the UK rumfest the 12 was the most enjoyable ..... But that was a lot of rum in one hit and without drinking a whole bottle of the 15 and not being able to afford the 23 it's hard to be sure...

Really rich, caramel, hazelnut kind a like taste, color really lovely amber, prize was reasonable. This goes great with not so special evenings, with good company and some nice blunts.

On dit souvent qu'il est très compliqué de faire simple, c'est ce que fait ce rhum du Demerara qui est pour moi un standard. Avec un nez très classique (boisé, fruits murs, tabac, caramel...) il est très facile d'abord pour une découverte du monde des rhums (et bien plus riche qu'un diplomatico). En bouche on retrouve les mêmes éléments avec un côté très gras et donc sucré, ce qui constitue son point fort et son point faible à la fois, selon les goûts.
Il est distillé dans les alambics Enmore, Diamond et Port Mourant, joli pédigrée vous en conviendrez !
Le rapport qualité/prix est excellent

Den gør absolut ingen fortræd. Den er sød og blød. Rund og rar. Her får man lidt mere at lege med end fx RZ23. Den er dog stadig forholdsvis simpel og man er tilbøjelig til at ville mere. Den er dog altid god at falde tilbage på og så er det utroligt at den er så billig! Jeg foretrækker 15y!
