El Dorado 8-Year

After having great success with the El Dorado 12 year, I figured I would try another from the same brand at a lower price point. Although I am new to rum, I can still notice a difference. Not as good as the 12 year, which makes sense since it's cheaper. Glad I tried it, will buy again for sure, but not necessarily a staple for my collection.

I was very pleased to find this bottle at a nice price but it turned out to be below my expectations. Its sweet palate didn't make it for me. It's up to personal tastes I guess, a friend who has not tasted many rums apart from Havana Club likes it very much, about the same or even more than Havana 7 according to him.

Not bad, it is a quality rum. But didnt find anything interesting in it. I always try to reveal the personality of the rum im tasting, trying to understand what was the blenders idea...No impression was made with this one.

are un gust banal, nu iese cu nimic in evidenta. recomand in cocktailuri. totusi are avantajul pretului.

Has flavour but harsh. Does well in mixed drinks, does not over power the taste of the other ingredients.

Ok Rom til prisen, men den mangler lidt fylde har en ok eftersmag, til prisen er den ok

Un rom ușor, fără pretenții dar bine echilibrat, suficient de fin pt brandul ce-l reprezintă.

This is another "okay" rum, whiskey, rum, whiskey that has sugar added to it to taste more like rum. I think if El Dorado actually tried to make rum they'd be on to something.

À venir prochainement.............................

I don't much care for mixed drinks anymore; but when I do, I either reach for this one or the Appleton reserve. I find this one goes good with pepsi
