Had previously purchased an El Dorado 8 yr and somewhat enjoyed the taste but while it was not nearly as sweet as the 12 or 15, I still found it too sweet for my palate. I purchased an El Dorado Dark (2 yr) and rather enjoyed the taste as it is much drier than the other ED offerings. I only drink my rum neat and never thought I would enjoy ED Dark but it is different than most rums I keep on hand and a nice and diversion from my drier rums. Pleasantly surprised 👍

As dark rums go, this one is a little light in color albeit a dark amber. Not a complaint just an observation. Some of the dark rums I enjoy are darker than this but not by much. I would say this is about the color of an over-steeped tea.

Got this from the local beverage store for just under $12 (before tax) and considering this is a blend of two year old rums the rum is distilled from fermented molasses it's a good bargain. It's not very smooth but the flavor is distinctly molasses. Bit of a burn but not too bad. Fades quickly on the tongue but stays in the throat a little longer. Not a sipping rum but a mixer and well worth it. I prefer it mixed with Coke Zero. One of my top two dark rums (the other being Cayman Reef Double Black).

A very young and light (thin) rum. Sweet smell of toffee and alcohol. Quite sweet taste of toffee and caramel together with harsh alcohol and some tangy fruit aromas. Short aftertaste. This is good in mixed drinks and makes not so much fun neat. It is however very inexpensive.

Straight up this one simply tastes very empty and harsh, not that I really expected anything more for that price.

Noticed this at a local store today and thought I'd give it a shot since it's the cheapest on the shelf and I enjoy all other El Dorado rums I've tasted.
Poured this up a few minutes ago and was immediatly treated to a rich toffee smell. Taste is sweet, toffee and rich like most dark rums but a little harsh on the throat.
Added a few ice cubes and a splash of cola and it's a pretty good drink.

Flot skip som går igen på mange af deres flasker. Da jeg er en tosset samler måtte jeg også hade denne i samlingen og er en af dem som der vil blive drukket og mikset med cola

This is one of the first rums I started paying attention to. I had a Cuba Libre in a restaurant and was told it was made from this. After tasting from the bottle, I knew it was not the rum used in that drink. This is much heavier and sweeter with the burnt sugar taste. It has always been my wife's favorite. I have come along way over the last five years since trying to find that particular rum that was in that very tasty Cuba Libre. I'm glad I started this journey. This is my first review of many in the coming days/weeks/months/years.

Dark Caramel colour, strong caramel smooth taste, good value-for-money.
