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!

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.

I think it's a good rum to start with. It lets you experience multiple dimensions of flavours within a few seconds. After every sip you immediately get a little alcohol burn in combination with the typical taste of rum, but nevertheless it still runs smooth on your throat. Then you'll enjoy the vanilla aroma wich will be followed up with a strong but enjoyable aroma of Orange

Quite a bite. Blended with a softer rum, easier to drink

In nose and taste you can find sugar, honey and touch of tropical fruits.

El Dorado 12 is definitely one of my favorite rums. I have tried their entire line up, and for my taste, the 12 year is the clear winner. The thing I love about El Dorado 12 is that it has all the complexities of a high end spirit with none of the gimmicks. It has a deep rich earthy taste with a long finish. Cheers!
