El Dorado 21-Year

Purchased my 2nd bottle in Florida at $99, even though I hadn't finished the current bottle in my inventory. Butterscotch nose, accented with brown sugar. Rums with a price point of +$75, I always drink "neat." The 21 was no disappointment. Smooth on the palate, caramel notes along with caramel. Excellent product at $99.

Faktiskt bara den näst bästa av de tre. Den 12-åriga är helt klart bäst som är en stark 9.

BIen que je recommande le ED 12 pour l'amateur de rhum de tous les jours, le ED21 saura sans aucun doute vous plaire. Son coût 3x plus élevé que le ED12 et son goût ne justifie p-ê pas un achat. Goutez-y quand vous en aurez la chance. Mais je ne suis pas certain que sur un test à l'aveugle le commun des mortels différencie le ED12, ED15 ou le ED21 bien que le dernier ait des notes un peu plus subtils et une arôme qui se développe doucement.

This is a heavy, sweet, lovely balanced, yet often challenging rum.

It is however, quite expensive, and thus, the 15 yo is the better value for money in my opinion.

Ikke smagt. .

Lidt overraskende her lige smagt på en El 12 og 15 og jeg syntes at el 15 var den bedste . Der var en smule bitterhed i den, og jeg syntes at smagen forsvinder for hurtig for en Rom i den prisklasse lidt skuffet 😞

The nose is quite dry and the alcohol is maybe a little bit too much present. The palate is quite spicy, with notes of coffee, grilled bread and vanilla. The finish is long and elegant.

It's a well-matured ultra-mellow South American molasses rum. I love a Zacapa 23, this is IMO marginally better. Nice bottle, cork stopper.
Glass: Dark amber
Nose: Full aroma of dried fruit and nuts, hint of spice
Mouth: VERY mellow, all the fruit and toffee you need, restrained sweetness with a hint of wood. Excellent balance, that lingers.
Burn: Gentle, subtle - leaves you wanting more.

It is a clear cut above the El Dorado 12 and in fact all the other demeraras I've tried.

Bought this one for my brother and had the opportunity to taste it.... "Wow" is the only thing I can say.

Alert reading reviews on this rum i decided to give it a go. Totally happy with the choice. Super smooth with a great aroma and a silkyness that makes drinking it a pleasure.
