El Dorado 12-Year

Coming to rum from Belgian beers and nice gin. I know, I drink like an 80 year old man. I really enjoyed sipping this on ice. I couldn’t do it neat and enjoy it. Too much bite for me neat and I actually enjoyed the flavor profile better over ice. Played a poker game online during the lockdown and sipped this the whole time. Great mixes but was good enough that it reall only needed a splash of something. I love mojitos and just used about an ounce of mojito mix to two ounces of this rum. Loved it.

If you want a good bottle of rum and you don’t want to spend a lot of money, this is the best option. Always smooth and sweet.
After few years, I "re-tested" it and, based to the relative experience with other products, I need to raise it to a round 8.

Not my favourite it has a taste that doesn’t agree with me. It seams bitter and has more of an alcohol bite than similar rums.

The taste is exceptional, weather you add a little mix or like on the rocks, something you can sip on or drink all night till its done.

This rum is probably the best best rum there is for the money it cost. It is sweet and rich in flavor.

At first, I wasn’t a big fan. But I keep coming back to it, and now I really like it.
I like sweet and smooth and I think this ticks both boxes for me.

7.5*
Start met een zoetje daarna een lichte anijssmaak. Prikkelend achter in de keel. Verwarmend

Een iets wat zoete rum met een droge afdronk.
De smaak blijft lekker hangen.
Heb het een 7 gegeven maar vind het een 7,5

Like this one, not sure which I like the most this or the 15y version. Rather sweet taste but has something rough in it too, that balance it up a bit.

Edit: Revisited this rum and now I think it’s overly sweet and because of that lowered scores

Strong sweet and vanilla aroma, little sweet flavour, fruits. Good compromise between sweet and dry rums. I like it.
