El Dorado 8-Year

Top shelf mixing rum. Makes a fantastic Mai Tai. Highly recommend

The El Dorado 8 Years is considerably spicier than it's 12 year counterpart but equally sweet. It feels lighter and less smooth.

In my opinion this a superb very well tasting mixing rum. I would give it a rather high 6/10 score as a straight up sipping rum.

I have not found any figures on added sugar for this one, I suspect there is some though minimal compared to its older brethren. This has become my favorite in the lineup.

Edit : This one has around 15 grams/ltr of added sugar, which is a fair amount but only 1/3 as much as the 12 yr and half as much as the 15 - neither of which will I buy any more. Why should I when I could pay $15 for this and add some sugar, resulting in pretty much the same flavor profile?

I tried this rum a few days ago and enjoyed it thoroughly. The best way I can describe this rum is it's like drinking a warm molasses bun.

A bit of a bite at the first sip, but very smooth finish. Has a whiskey vibe to it, likely due to the 8 year cask aging. I was initially surprised to see that it is made in Guyana, as you don't normally associate Guyana with rum. Would definitely recommend this either on the rocks.

Smooth with a bit of a spicy bite. One of my favourite taste. My wife doesn't prefer rum, but she likes this.

About as sweet as I can manage it. Any sweeter and it would be off my scale. Also love the 5-year old version.

the colour and texture of this drink is quite beautiful. the bottle isnt for me but the label and contents are great
This is one hell of a smooth drop for an 8 year old and I was more than impressed with it.
I highly recommend this drink straight. It isnt overly sugary nor does the aromas over power you.
I will buy more of this

Lovely drink at an affordable price. Not going to compete with the expensive sippers but for £20-£25 I think you will struggle to beat it.

This is one of the best "cheap" rums around, smooth with some heat, nice colour and smell, well worth having on the shelf...
