Really like how this one goes down. It was recommended to me by the bartender at Storm Rum Bar in Asheville, NC. I think it is very smooth with just enough sweetness to mellow it. Very full flavor at the same time. (If only I could have gotten the picture straight!.)
Sweet and smooth. Dangerously quaffable. A go to for a bourbon lover.
I really like El Dorado. You can always count on them deliver high standard. Easy to sip
This is a great into rum to get people to realize rum is more than just a Bahama Mama at a funky resort.
Notes of baking spices and berries
I ain't never had a rum made from cane sugar I didn't love. El Dorado 12-year be no exception. A wee bit of tobacco and leather aroma was perfect and reminded me of me first Captain's quarters. Felt right at home. Solid rum flavor with a bit of oakiness and a soft burn. This be the good stuff for sippin' or impressing the ladies. Don't let no son of a biscuit eater tell you to mix it with anything other than good times...
It's good if you like your sweet rums with added sugar,I'm not fussed on my rums being either sweet or dry, I couldn't get past the sweetness then the oakyness and other flavors came in, will buy again
Dried raisins, cherry, tobacco, nutmeg and oak in the aroma and taste. Very little burn and the spice is stronger than the sweet. Like my title says, it’s not a bad rum but in this price point there’s better Rums available. I’m not sure if this would be a repeat purchase as Kirk and Sweeney 12 is better and cheaper. This might not be my rum of choice but I think everyone should give it a try at least once as we all have different likes.
This was my first bottle of Rum I bought and I was sold immediately.
It has a very rich and sweet nose with hints of fruit.
On the palet it is really smooth with a very pleasant aftertaste.
good rum, would definitely buy more. Decent amount of sugar though

Such a well balanced rum. Not too sweet, no burn and bursting with flavors. Orange and other fruits on the nose. Smooth caramel and brown sugar dominate the palate with a lingering oaky orange aftertaste, however each sip yields a new flavor. This is a quality rum and I will definitely be back for more.
