El Dorado 12-Year

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.

Why do I say that? Because this rum is tasty, delicate, smooth and a fabulous value! Sweet but not sugary. Caramel and dried fruit notes. Absolutely makes a great gift to Connoisseurs or novices alike.

I really thought I'd like this. It smelt of toffee and wasn't too sweet to taste but I got a coffee after taste that just isn't for me.

The first premium rum I was ever introduced to. While it's not my favourite, it's a strong number 2.

A very good rum. I enjoy it as a sipper but may try it as a blender later. A bit stronger but it is my 5th rum bottle ever so I am only at the beginning of my rum journey. Sweeter taster and well balanced smoke flavor.

One of my first good rums, then not overcomed by many after (in its prize category)

A good rum, great in cocktails but nothing special for me.

El dorado 12 anos, una garanzia.. meglio dei più costosi. Che dire sapore sublime, scorre dolcemente nel palato..poesia.

This is my first bottle of rum, I'm new to rum and new to alcohol, so take with a pinch of salt
IV tried a glass or two of standard pub rums
This smells like hand cleaner, first fresh taste is overly spicy just alcohol, long aftertaste of the same
Leave it to breathe for several minutes and it slowly gains some taste, I only drink neat without ice or mixer
First few mins in and it tastes like a poor spiced rum, 20+ mins later and it has a nice smooth long aftertaste, sweet enough like burnt caramel, could be better but raised my score up to 5
