I won't bother with the tasting notes as the many reviews here have covered better than i could. Suffice to say, it's fantastic rum, great for mixing or drinking straight.
If you're looking for an example of demerara rum - look no further.
Enjoyable with a decent finish. Full bodied with woody tones. Good sipping rum over ice.
Most of the reviews here are quite old.
Thought I would revisit for an update.
For the money, this rum is a hit. It offers balance and structure. Molasses, vanilla, cinnamon- it’s all in there.
A little on the sweeter side, but not overly sweet to ruin it. Fruity nose and taste with minimal burn. A nice, enjoyable drink overall, with minimal burn.
If you have someone over who is not used to drinking rum, this I a good bottle to serve. Easy to start with, tasty on the go but a little alcoholic-burn afterwards. The more older rums of this distiller are quite good, so I would recommend to get this one in you casket but buy an older one for more special occasions!
Zapach: Wyraźna beczka, śliwki, daktyle, delikatna wanilia, melasa. w zapachu czuć delikatną oraz przyjemna słodycz oraz lekko palone aromaty
Smak: Czekolada deserowa, Dębina, cynamon, delikatna słodycz w stronę brązowego cukru, na końcu kawa z mlekiem. W ustach pełny oraz oleisty
Od początku zapach daje znak o wysokiej jakości tego rumu. Rum jako jeden z niewielu wypiliśmy z żoną bez dodatków, lecz podobno jest to zasługa dosładzania…Ale to był pierwszy dosładzany rum co sprawił mi taką przyjemność.
OCENA 81/100
Unfortunately, this 12-year-old EL Dorado was a little disappointing. It is a weak body rum and a bit flavorless. Next time I would go for the 15 years EL Dorado instead.
Sladší rum, který je opět velmi univerzální, trochu ostřejší než Diplomatico, ale řekl bych o něco zajímavější. Kdo má rád sladší rumy, velmi dobrý poměr cena/výkon. Ale žádné překvapení.
Smells of, Caramel and pinneaple. Sweet taste of fruit, pie with a lingering evolution into some spice. I actually prefer this one to the 15.

A great introduction to premium rum. This rum was my introduction to premium rums and it did a perfect job. It's quite sweet (you can tell sugar was added), but not too sweet that you'll want to have another glass. You'll taste vanilla, brown sugar, hints of banana or orange peel with the slightest taste of oak and wood spices. Great on the deck with a cigar.
