A very nice way in to rum. It may be sweetened, but it is not over done.

One friend praised the rum for drinking two bottles with his wife. But what is it? I couldn't finish it. I don't like it at all, I believe there are other batches and not every bottle can taste the same, but I close this chapter. The magic thing is that I gave the 15th version a chance and it has become my absolute icon for rum and I'm still coming back to it.
ZnΓ‘mΓ½ mi tento rum chvΓ‘lil, ΕΎe uΕΎ majΓ za sebou s manΕΎelkou dvΔ lΓ‘hve. Ale co to? JΓ‘ ho nemohl dopΓt... VΕ―bec mΔ to nedostalo, vΔΕΓm, ΕΎe jsou i jinΓ© Ε‘arΕΎe a ne kaΕΎdΓ‘ lΓ‘hev mΕ―ΕΎe chutnat stejnΔ, ale jΓ‘ tuto kapitolu uzavΓrΓ‘m. KouzelnΓ© na tom je, ΕΎe jsem dal Ε‘anci 15y verzi a ta se naopak stala mou naprostou ikonou pro rum a stΓ‘le se k nΓ vracΓm.

Reading the reviews I was looking forward to this rum. But having since having tried it on two different occasions it has been a disappointment. There is technically nothing wrong, but I find it carries a bitterness that, say, an equivalent Appleton Estate does not. As such, my money will always goes elsewhere.
Sharp at the frist zip, but it get smoother. Great rum, with nice spices
The first rum I have ever tried and got inloved with it
For the price is excellent.. Aroma.. Taste.. After taste

This rum is unique for me. Very easy to sip, and enjoyable. The flavors are what are different. Much earthier and less sweet than I prefer. Still good to have and sip to switch things up.

It is not the best rum I have tasted, not even close, but the best rum in the price range in which I can buy it (25 euros). Better rums cost double. Hence the 9.

It's no secret quite a bit of sugar is added to this one. As shown by more serious drinkers/reviewers and their hydrometer tests. Such knowledge will influence your judgement when drinking but luckily I tasted the El Dorado before reading about it. And yes, it is clearly overly sweet. Most of my drinking buddies agree. I think it aims to a part of the (novice) market that thinks rums should taste like this, because, after all, the stuff is made from sugar cane. If you are looking for a smooth, sweet rum you are better off with the Diplomatico Exclusiva or the Zacapa 23. I found the El Dorado 12 quite monotonous.
