El Dorado 12-Year

After opening the bottle it smelled like glue, still after opened it for a while. Taste was ok, but not as good as expected.
Since the bottle is half full the smell and taste is a lot better.

Affordable and solid vanilla and sweet on the palate.

Do not be discouraged by a bit of brutal aroma and take a rum for a moment in a glass. You will be rewarded with a very sweet aroma, in which the fruit mainly protrudes. On the tongue, El Dorado is gentle and leaves no odor. Someone may seem too sweet, but it suits me not only because of its carameliness. If you want decent gift for someone, who isn't rum enthusiast, you do not make a mistake with this twelve-year-old mix of rums from Demerar Distillers of Guyana.

Oak wood taste, also a bit like smoked or tobacco flavour, followed with orange and fruity tones, smooooth delicious, good one to me. No burns, great.

This is so lovely and smooth. I hope my local M&S never stop stocking it.

Velmi dobry rum, ktory patri do rumovej zbierky. Silne odporucam. Ak zvazim pomer cena/vykon tak hodnotenie mozem dat aj 10 bodov! Viete ho najst aj za cenu do 25 ecok!!! Podoba sa na diplomatico ResExc... je vyvazeny, sladky (menej ako diplomatico), vona sudovo-nasladla, alkohol nepali a nema ani alkoholovy dozvuk / samozrejme clovek vie ze pije skutocny rum o sile 40%. Velmi lahodne pitie... nazdravie!

Yes, it is sweet, and a lot of that may come from added sugar. However, vanilla aroma is dominant and it's a wonderful sipper! for the price, it has to be one of the best examples of a smooth and flavourful rum that most people should be able to find quite easily. A little less good than the 15yr and clearly better than the 8yr, it is my go-to regular tipple.

To be honest this is one of my favourite rums the fruity nose and the smoothnes of this rum is great. Could sip this all day long. Also goes very well with cola. Great rum for the price and do highly recomend.

Nice golden demerara rum have gone through a few of these in my time. Good price at £33 Amazon next day. Good sipper or mixer. A personal favourite for cocktails.

A nice sipping rum with lots of oak flavour.. I like it and it's an easy smooth sipper but for my taste there is better for the money. Hence the 7 (would give 7.5 if possible).
