My bar neighbor said that to him this sits nicely between the El Dorado 12 and 15 years. I agree! It's not as saccharine as the 12, nor does it boast the nuanced menthol of the 15. Indeed it seems to sit somewhere in the middle. Like the others, this Smuggler's Cove bottling is still fairly sweet, with a flavor profile familiar to those who have tried other ED offerings. Tasty enough as a sipper, but absolutely beautiful as a mixer.
