I have purposely stayed away from El Dorado products as they are known to be heavily sugared. The El Dorado 8 yr, however, caught my attention as a result of the lower GPL as well as the reviews on this site. This offering set me back $31 CAD (a bargain in my area) and the vanilla, caramel and oak flavours were rather pleasant albeit a bit sweet and the aftertaste lasted for some time. ED8 will not be my next "Go To" Rum but it is a great value and a nice change from dry Rums.

Ikke en rom jeg behøves at have i skabet igen. Ok men ikke en lækker hygge rom.

But I wanted rum, not whiskey. This is barely suggestive of rum.

Keeping it simple , I think i like the 8 year better then the 12
Pick it up very smooth very drinkable
Going to give it another go to see if it still stands up to my 7 rating
Yah I’ll still say this is a 7 but as for being better then the 12 I change my mind on that one the 12 is a better rum then this bit both are good offerings from El Dorado

Θα πει κάποιος (έξυπνος) .... " Δεν είναι σαν το δωδεκάρι" ...... - Τι λες ρε μεγάλε ? Σοβαρή διαπίστωση !!!!! Ένα τίμιο ρούμι με τίμια τιμή (23€) και σε όλα λίγο πιο κάτω από το δωδεκάρι ..... Του μοιάζει όμως και αυτό είναι το τίμιο της υπόθεσης ...... Δυνατό άρωμα που κρατάει στο ποτήρι ακόμα και όταν τελειώσει το ποτό ...... Γεύση και επίγευση σε (αισθητά) μικρότερες εντάσεις από το mainstream 12 ...... Από τις καλλίτερες επιλογές σε αυτήν την τιμή ....
* Το κακό είναι ότι πρέπει να κάνω "κράτει" για να προλάβει να δοκιμάσει και ο Κώστας !!!!!!

Not horrible by any means, but for the small price difference go up to the 12. You won't regret it. The 12 is much more complex and a great sipper. This just doesn't compare even though it isn't a horrible rum.

Good average rum for the start of tasting. Like it.

Tento rum sa mi viac hodi do cuba libre ako na bezne pitie, jeho chut je jednoducha a trosku ostrá ale s colou vynika ako ma

I consider this one to be one of my most favourite rums. The intense tones of dark chocolate are why I always like to return to this rum.
And have I mentioned the price?

Hozza a 12 éves alapízeit csak minden kicsit laposabb, nyersebb. Édesebbnek érzem mint a 12 évest, de inkább csak azért mert kevesebb a mögöttes tartalom. Nem rossz tisztán sem, de nem igazán karakteres. Az édessége jól ellensúlyozza a kicsit nyers alkoholt. Az ár/érték aránya helyén van, pont annyival gyengébb az El Dorado 12-nél mint amennyivel olcsóbb. Érdemes megkóstolni, de inkább csak a 12 éves után érdekességképp.
