Sweet like El Dorado 12-Year - but different?

I'm trying to "learn rum" and appreciate the finer nuances, rather than just pure sweetness: So far I've gone from the Plantation stuff to El Dorado 12-Year.

Now I'm looking for suggestions on something similar to the latter in sweetness, but with a radically different taste profile?

I think we might have a similar sweeter profile, here's my cabinet if it's helpful - I looked through and anything that would be a radically different profile is either hard to find or pricy https://rumratings.com/users/5-andy

Enzo - look to Jamaican rums if you want a radically differnt profile, specifically ones known for funk. Be warned - this might not be for you - so you can start with less funky - maybe go with Appleton 8, 12, 15yr., pricier than El Dorado, but still tolerable.

You could also look to Chairman's Reserve from St. Lucia - not RADICALLY different, but different enough you'll know it. Legacy is good, and reasonably priced too. Similar to ED12.

While these all have some inherent sweetness, they are not, to my knowledge, sweetened/dosed. ED12 maybe a bit, but I don't find it overly sweet.

Cheers! I've ordered a Worthy Park Single Estate - super excited to try it out.
