This smooth dark rum has an excellent deep oak flavour, that lasts. Wonderful balanced. A pleasure to drink

While not something super special, it is definitely worth the price tag. Decent rum for sipping, and very good for mixing.

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.
This is the first rum I have enjoyed on rocks or neat.

Нос. Апельсиновый и абрикосовый джем, красный мандарин, немного лакокраски, кокос, ваниль, корица, жёлтый изюм, засушенный манго, папайя, забродившие ягоды, кожа, кофейные зёрна. Очень фруктовый и по-хорошему тяжеловесный, насыщенный.
Во вкусе взрыв из печёных фруктов и ягод, солёной карамели, ванили, корицы, кокосов, ореховой нуги, кофе с молоком, гвоздики, шоколада. Вкус сбалансированный по сахару с небольшой кислинкой и горечью специй, но без спиртового удара - настоящий вкус хорошего выдержанного рома с обилием всяких полутонов и нюансов.
Послевкусие средней продолжительности. Слегка суховатое. В нём продолжают играть тропические фрукты, ваниль, карамель и специи.
Резюме. Отличный вкусный выдержанный ром с комплексной органолептикой, предназначенный прежде всего для употребления в чистом виде, по вполне вменяемой цене. Рекомендую!
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

The smell is relative neutral and does not have the strong caramel smell of the 3-8 year. A great taste with a nice smooth finish and pleasant long after taste.
