I bought this rum on a friend's recommendation and I can only agree. Excellent rum, pleasantly sweet, smooth with caramel flavor. I'm looking forward to the 15-year El Dorado.

I have overlooked this rum for long time just because of red color of the cartoon box. However, high score on RumRatings (7.6 and 1382 reviews at the time) convicted me to give it try.
Cartoon box is really solid and nice. Decent bottle with the cork. And here comes the surprise after opening the bottle, immediate spread of sweet fruity sugarcane aroma. Overwhelming! Beautiful!
However, the taste lags behind the aroma a little. Yes, there is the same sweetness but there is too much of tannin, especially in aftertaste, which goes over this sweetness. Dry finish. But plenty of people like it. I would expect more of balance between the aroma and the taste. Nevertheless, this is great piece in my deposit.
I am not disappointed.

My failsafe bottle of choice! It is the cheapest one in my cabinet, and I prefer it or regard it as an equal to most of the rest.

I base my reviews on what I previously purchased, this is a nice rum but not so sweet. I would say it scores slightly less than zacapa solero 23 and the average score of 7.6 I'd about where I would put it.

El Dorado 12-year is probably one of the best sipping rums I know. Perfectly balanced with a slight kick and delicious notes. Would recommend this one to anyone.

Can be used as a sipper or in more premium cocktails.

Love the vintage bottle, very Smokey smell with amazing taste! My best rum so far

flavors of vanilla and oak, great balance on the notes compared to simular types of rum. Less sugar and more mature flavor than for example, Zacapa Centenario 23
