Unlike the lower aged el dorado's, carries a fantastic vanilla flavour on the nose. Devoid of any oak. Light banana, apricot, fruit tones adorn the tongue, a mild cherry taste accenting everything. Carries the fruity essences right through the finish into the aftertaste. An absolute treat. Going to rate this a 9 out of respect for the highest end rums El Dorado has to offer still. Could very easily be a 10 from me for taste alone, but I assume the brand can do even better.

Denne rom hører til en af mine favoritter. Det var faktisk også den der fik sat gang i min interesse for rom. Den er fløjlsblød med en god og ikke for sød smag der varer længe.

er godt nok et stykke tid siden, jeg har smagt denne rom, men jeg husker den som værende helt fantastisk.

One of my favourite of the el dorado line; I actually prefer it slightly over the 25.
If we could give half marks I would give this an 8 1/2; mostly because the oak sticks around a little longer then I would like

Strong but smooth with a slight hint of tabac.
Vanilla and toffee creating a nice coat in your mouth.

A truly great Rum

So so smooth. Pure joy sipping with a close friend who appreciates not just fine rum but truly exceptional rum. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions....on just about any subject..but anyone that gives this rum a score of less than 8 doesn't know rum. In this price range this rum may have some equals but none better.

of course smoother and finer than 15y, but for me simplier 12y is still better demerara taste.

this is my go to choice in my local cocktail bar, Mokoko.
If I'm feeling indulgent, I'll even use it in a daiquiri where the complexity still comes through.
Top banana

Let's just acknowledge it... This is the best there is. We know there's more exclusive and expensive bottles out there but this is perfection. With too many notes to list, the overall experience vs the price is unmatched. Whenever I drink a new aged rum, I can't help but compare it against El Dorado 21.

Complexity defined. Top shelf, with all others bowing down underneath.

Many think the El Dorado 21 is the best - or at least one of the best. My tastes are a little different, and I prefer the 8 and 12 better than the 15 and 21. Maybe it's aged TOO much? Can that be it? Heavier and more complex - yes. So if that's what you like, plop down the $80+ for it. If not, buy 4-5 bottles of the 8 year.

En lækker rom med kraft og blødhed i samme flaske. Eneste problem er at flaske hurtig bliver tømt.
