Best quality for the money.

Can be used in really anything, I love the sweetness and spices.

This is a great example of Demerara rum. Very smooth and easy to drink as a sipper.

One of my favorite so far. Really smooth, bit sweet with a hint of vanilla.

Good sipping rum, a little oaky for my taste but a nicely flavoured rum all the same.

Velmi slusny rum, vyvazena chut, je menej aromaticky ako jeho rafinovanejsi a o nieco jemnejsi 15 rocny variant. Ladeny je viac do ovocnej citrusovej aromy, zatial co 15r je viac cokoladovejsi a jemne horkejsi. Celkovo vyborny pomer cena/kvalita, ale preferujem chut a komplexnost jeho hladsieho 15 rocneho kolegu.

Sweet but good. Nice sipping rum with oak flavors throughout

This is something that did not bother me at the beginning, but was becoming a nuisance pretty fast: Added sugar. This has lovely flavors, but the sugar spoils it for me. A pity, really. Still a competent rum, even a great one for those who are not put off by the artificial sweetness.

loved the El Dorado 2. The 12 is good, and cheaper, if you can't find the 21.

great when neat or with ice and also really tasteful when combined with ginger beer! a true good tasting rum worth your money

I rate the 12 year highly because it reminds me of the one experience I had tasting the 30 year.

The 12 year is still an incredibly tasty drop and I personally find that El Dorado is the flavour I think of when I am craving a rum.

30 year is better but the 12 year will still hit the spot.
