El Dorado 8-Year

El Dorado 8-years was my first Demerara Rum. And for the price (24€), this rum presents already a nice quality. I think a 7 suits perfect, and is recommendable for most, as a sipping or cocktails mixing rum.
Caramel and Molasses flavour, brings a lot of oak too. Rich.
Medium-bodied, good balance, sweet caramel aftertaste.
Looking forward to try the 12 and 15-Years, and for sure more Guyana Rums.

Kvalitni rum za dobrou cenu...na bezne popijeni znacka ideal

This is solid stuff, perfect for mixing and making exceptional cocktails. In some ways it's actually better than the 12, less added sugar, more complex. Unfortunately it's just way too expensive in Australia.

I like all the El Dorado series. This is the best. A tad bit pricey. But well worth it.

Mixed with Coca-cola, twist of lime.

I love Myer's Rum. Also like Sailor Jerry's. But it's a bit strong.

El Dorado and Myer's, all time best. Just right amount of sweetness.

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 ....

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.
