It tastes like the 12 year but a bit harsher. I'll still drink it on the rocks. It has the same pleasant taste as the 12 year. Overall it's a nice cheap rum but kind of mid tier.

This is a wonderful multi-purpose rum. It's great in a Tiki cocktail and even serviceable neat or on the rocks. It's not expensive so there's really nothing to complain about here.

Solid rum. Nice on its own, but it’s probably worth dropping a few quid more to get the 12 or 15 if that’s what you’re after. A with ice kind of rum.

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

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.

For a rum aged 8 years it's still got a lot of heat from the spirit. It's reasonably tasty though. Apparently the 12 year old should be much better. So let's move on to that one.

This doesnt quite have the finish and depth needed to be a pure sipping rum. It does however, work just fine as a aged rum for cocktails

Light mahogany color. The nose is very sweet, on caramel, coffee, butterscotch. Alcohol is present, not well integrated. In the mouth, it is pastry but very flat and short. a rum to discover the world of rum

If you like sweet rums run away from this... More affordable version of older El Dorado 15YO, with alcohol burn without some interesting tastes.

Sweet soft and round with pieces of tobacco mixed with caramel
