Smooth and delicious aged rum. You can easily sip this neat. Love using this in a daiquiri for a more full bodied drink.

From the bottle to the taste, this rum is fantastic. Really well rounded flavor with only a small hint of sweetness. It's not to expensive either so great value for money. This is one of my favorite in my collection.

Sweet and smooth, a good entry level to understand superior rums. Negative note is the enormous amount of sugar added, very annoying, leaving a residue also at the bottom of each bottle. Is not a secret that oak barrels are covered in molasses and ~35/45 g/l sugar is added to this release, making this drink for the most purists more a rum-based spirit than a real rum. Apart from that, it’s sweet, smooth and well rounded, with hints of vanilla, banana, tropical flowers to the nose. Afterburn is pleasant and overall a favourable sipping rum!

I bought this spontaneous and it was good but that’s it. Maybe I wasn’t ready yet. Bottle and packing is well looking. I’m glad I bought it but next time I’ll rather invest to El Dorado 15

Dvaníctileté El Dorado, chvíli trvalo, než sem si k němu našl cestu. Kořenitý, nasládlý

When the bottle was first opened it was the caramel like smell I noticed, some bottles of rum the alcohol smell is more intense, this one medium with a little bite to the nose. On the rock after it chilled the rum was smooth and had a nice taste. I would like likely buy again.

I like the smooth and rich taste of the
‘El Dorado 12 Year Old Rum’ ... Great taste!

Unclear why a lot of people rate this a 7. There is a distinct oak in this bottle that should be enough to push it up to at least an 8. It is so interesting. It has a lovely roundness and thick caramel cream experience followed by an almost whiskey oak finish. Definitely an 8 because it is hard to find that lovely oak at this prince point and this availability.
