Velké překvapení - myslel jsem, že to bude jeden z těch ostrých, silných rumů a při prvním ochutnání se ukázala jemná, sametová chuť s akcentem do pomerančů a karamelu. Favorit.

Im Geruch Früchte, ein wenig Zitrus, Banane, Alkohol, angenehm.
Im Geschmack findet man die selben Noten wie im Geruch, eine Harmonie die mir so gefällt, auch Süße, nicht unangenehm, am Limit für mich, nicht übertrieben.
Im Abgang mehr auf der milden Seite.
Alles in Allem ein feiner, ein wenig süßer Rum mit gutem Preis/Leistungsverhältnis.

It seems a but spicier to me, I would also expect more smoothness for 12 years with no solera but still pretty good a but sharper rum with vanilla smell and spices and fruits flavor.

Well rounded, fairly smooth. Would not prioritize as a re-purchase when I have so many others on wish list, but certainly would be happy if received again as a gift. Light molasses flavor, oaky on the nose.

All of the El Dorado12 year seems to really hit the mark. A Nice full body with a woodsy background and long finish.
The opportunity to line up all the age expressions of El Dorado is great and Each stand alone as an excellent rum. Stepping through the 5, 8, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 25 provides one of the best chances to experience how aging changes spirit aroma and taste.

Very nice smell, taste is kind of semisweet but i did not find much interesting compared to older siblings

On the nose I get apricot, pear, orange, red wine, oak, vanilla and peas. The palate is honey, oak, pepper, vanilla, and caramel. The finish is ginger, licorice, and a faint touch of oak.
Where I live this is a great value buy given the sipability of this rum; would be perhaps nicer if presented at a slightly bigger ABV. While this rum is "dosed" with some sugar, I don't find it too sweet or too artificial tasting - the underlying spirit still comes through.

Great option to dink as is. Not to sweet, just right. A bit more rough then the Diplomatico but a excelent one for sure
This bottle was my introduction to aged rums. I’m very much a beginner to rum, but I like to explore new bottles when I can. Definitely sweeter than most, but sometimes I don’t mind the sweetness.

Drinks smoothly with or without ice. One of the best ones out there.

El Dorado 8 year is a completely defferent taste and aroma.
Both are sweet but this one is more creamy. 8 year is solid brown suger caramel taste.
I prefer 8 year.15 year is more tastefull.
