This rum is fantastic and also great value for money. It has a bit of spice/bite to it which you feel on your tongue. Goes well with an ice cube or two.
After drinking a whole bottle if El Dorado 12 year in just a few days, which I LOVED, I was excited to try it's little brother the 8 year. Not as good as I had hoped for. The taste was a little bit harsher which I expected. It has a strange funky nose to it like the Plantation 3 Star which I do not care for. I sip my rums neat and this one was more of a chore to drink. I would use this in a cocktail but not neat. Overall, this rum is good in a pinch if you like the funky nose rums. For the same price I can get Plantation 5 year which, I think, is the best rum to price ratio. Rum on rumheads!!!
Nice aroma, earthy, maybe some banana? Smooth start and finish. Grassy taste with heavy cane notes.
The smell is so sweet and good. So much Carmel is great. Tried this one neat. More alcohol and strength then the 5 year with more burn and warmth and a more pleasant lasting after taste. Tastes amazing with pomegranate cherry juice. Perfect balance 1:1.
Smells like caramel. In the tas there is a distinctive Koffie and vanilla aroma.
Not a bad rum. But because I'm not a koffie drinker only 6 points.
Solid rum which is very smooth for its relatively young age. On the nose you can feel caramel, oak and sugar cane. You can feel in taste that profile is similiar to 12y but this one doesnt have full body like its older brothers. But still very smooth rum with flavours of tobaccoo, caramel and oak.
I had many trips to Cuba and always enjoyed Havana Club 7 yo. Up until now I did not try anything else except Cuban rum. Once I've brought from there Santiago de Cuba 11yo and have found it so smooth and delicius compared to HC. Since then I've discovered world is full of different rums ). Had tried 12 of them so far. And I will rate them comparing to HC as the base rated 6.
After having the 12yr and 15yr El Dorado I had high expectations and was not disappointed. They are not related though. The sweetness of the 12 is not inherited from the 15 or the 8. The 8yr has its sugary caramel smell and initial taste, but it is short lived and the flavours of go their own way. Following more towards the whisky, oaky dry taste. A good rum from a legendary name.
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
Itβs floral, there are notes of dark chocolate and dried fruits.
"It isnβt rough but it does have quite a spicy burn and finish. ."

I noticed an aroma that made me believe they partly used sherry casks for this one. And I wasn't quite wrong: According to the ministryofrum, they use bourbon and whisky casks, and among the latter the must also be some ex-sherry casks made of Spanish oak.
