El Dorado (2020 Onwards) 12-Year

Seriously a fantastic rum for the price. This is a sipper that is a great mixer for the price. Huge value with this rum - can't go wrong.

Well balanced, not dry and no sweet, wood, leather,vanilla.

Lets say you have a friend that does not necessarily enjoy rum. This is a perfect gift. Inexpensive and perfect beginner rum.
You wont feel bad if it gets mixed, and its delicious on its own.
Worst case, your friend does not use it and that way, when you visit, you know he/she has this bottle on standby for you! So i spread these babies around!

I put a 10 up there because of the cost vs value factor. The average score of 7.5 is too low. This should be a solid 8.0 based on taste alone and not cost.

I am not an experienced rum drinker. The man in the liquor store could highly recommend the Eldorado. I had no expectations but I was pleasantly surprised. Rounder, sweeter and less sharp than what I'm used to from whiskey, for example. I will definitely try more rums in the future.

Not sure what the fuss is about, tried it multiple times as a sipping as well as with mixer, but couldn't find anything good about it.

Exceptionally smooth mouth and throat feel with a nice warming finish. Not tons of complexity, but carmel, raisin, and oak come through nicely for me. Perfect sweetness throughout. A good go-to neat sipper.

I tried this rum in a trendy fusion restaurant in Las Vegas. I remember thinking how smooth it was for rum from the French part of the Carribean - which I often find a little harsh and light bodied for my taste.

When I returned home, I was delighted to find this rum in one of my local stores and brought home a bottle. When I tried it at home, it had that familiar light body and lack of smoothness I identify with "rhums". As I pondered, I remembered that the glass in Las Vegas came after a glass of tequila...

So, all in all, pretty good flavor, not that smooth and flavors not so complex, unless you have a glass of tequila first.

Burns a bit. Nice colour. Nice taste. Somewhere in the middle

woody rum and almost nothing else, i give a nice 5, better than the older version (it was a 3)
from the 3 new el dorados (12,15 and 21) only the 15 is a solid sipper ...

Compared to the previous El Dorado 12 this is phenomenal. I was kind of concerned that with very little added sugar it might have lost what I loved in this fine rum but it's even better. I give this a solid 8, and in its price range a 10. Pick up a bottle if you haven't tried it.
