Poměr cena výkon to nejlepší co sem měl. Klasický demerara rum velmi těžký
a hutný. Minimálně vyzkoušet doporučuju každému. Standart klasických rumů. Za mě 8.5.

Sweet smoke on the nose. Unusual spicy, smoky prune palette followed by a lovely smooth banana finish

I really like this, its ike a chameleon it changes based on what you drank before it. Usually it is sweet but I have experienced the bitter side of this after drinking some (way to sweet) coke.
An amazing starter rum, I got this as a gift for my birthday and now I cant wait to try the 15 and the 21.

Very simillar to Zacapa. Anyway - you feel more hand-work from El Dorado.

had a tasting after dinner with the plantation gran anejo, anejo has more flavour but El Dorado is smoother on the tongue and nose

For the price about 25 EUR, I didn´t find any better rum with so complexity. It took a while for me to enjoy it, but then it was worth of it. I´am looking forward to older versions.

Nagyon kellemes selymes rum. Illatában és ízében is hozza amit ígér. Nálam elmaradt a wow faktor,de ez nyilván ízlés kérdése is! De bátran ajánlom egy beszélgetős estére!

Wow unbelivable value for money. Distinct and balanced. Will buy much more.

Slightly spicy up front that mellows to reveal a buttery banana flavor. Great for sipping.

I prefer this to the more expensive 15yr and for the price ($30 in Chicago) I haven’t found a better value for a rum to sip on. I think it has a nice initial flavor and there is definitely a bit of a burn afterwards but overall I think this is a great stock rum to keep around. Medium dark color, very smooth for the price point, well balanced.
