Très bon rhum, El Dorado 12 est bien sucré, facile à boire, le goût de l'alcool n'est pas prononcé et de bonnes saveur. Pour le prix, il est difficile de faire mieux.

The first time I tried this rum I had it neat and didn't mind it then I tried it with 2 ice cubes let it sit in my glass for a couple minutes and just fell in love with this stuff. I took it to a party and no one there had tried it before everyone loved it so much I didn't have any left at the end of the night. So I think ill get my self another bottle of it before I try something else.

I was gifted a bottle of this by my girlfriend upon recommendation by some people over here on this site.
I can say that, it is the most peculiar Rum. On the nose there is a strong scent of sweetness, dried fruits and caramel, almost honey-like, on the palate I sensed dried fruits like raisins, caramel, orange. Among the Rums that I've tasted, this has the most definite undertones of them all. It is pleasantly sweet but not at all annoying, I say on the same page of the Diplomatico but with a stronger character. I felt it to be stronger than Diplomatico although the alcohol % is quite the same; the burn is minimal.
Definitely recommended for the price/quality ratio. The bottle is nice, too.

A very strong aged rum: at first the impact is huge, but then it dissolves into a tasty flavour. Not an easy choice but still enjoyable.

As a newbie to sipping rums, this was the first bottle that really made me want to come back for more. Super smooth with a lovely sweet, but not overly-sweet flavour. Sweet-smokey vanilla on the nose and dark toffee/caramel on the palate. Delightful stuff, would recommend to anyone.

Upon the recommendation of my friend Mark, as a top notch sipping rum and for use in my tiki cocktails that call for a demerara, I bought this today at total wine. I first tried it neat, lovely caramel aroma, and taste, smooth as silk, no burn and sweet aftertaste. This is my first real quality sipping rum in my bar, I mostly make tiki drinks using Jeff “beachbum” Berry’s app, Total Tiki, but my friend Mark suggested El Dorado as his favorite sipping rum and I am really hooked on how good a top quality rum can be when enjoyed neat. i also made a Shrunken Skull with it and rhum barbancourt, lime juice and monin grenadine and it was fantastic. It’s lingering delicious flavor has me wanting more! My only other quality sipping reference is from last night when I tried Diplimatico reserva, at the Mai Kai, it was sweeter but they are both amazing, I’d say I prefer the El Dorado as it seems smoother and less sweet.
