Guyana | Aged | 40% ABV | Pot and Column Still
El Dorado 12-Year Rum is composed of a blend of aged rums, all at least 12 years old. The rums are distilled using a combination of stills including coffey stills and a double wooden pot still before being aged in bourbon oak casks.
Demerara Distillers of Guyana produces El Dorado 12-year rum and is the country's last remaining distillery, with origins tracing back to 1670. The name ""El Dorado"" references the legendary city of gold that is said to be in the country's Rupununi region.

Strangely cheap for its unique and great taste! Always one of my favourites.
Excellent rapport qualité-prix. J'y reviens toujours. À déguster seul. Je le préfère au 15 ans, il est plus doux. Un peu sucré, demeure très équilibré.
Excellent value for money. I always come back to it. I prefer it to the 15-Year El Dorado, it is softer. A little sweet, but remains very balanced.
80 proof, no ice sip test
Medium smoke nose, dark sweet aroma
Smooth in mouth, no bitter aftertaste, pleasant lingering smokiness.
I am tasting this alongside the ED 15. The ED 12 holds its own to the more expensive ED 15, providing its unique smoky, dark demerara flavor. Good balance of flavor and alcohol.

Really nice. Golden brown colored. Smooth and soft, tastes like honey, brown sugar and some fruit. Even better than it's older brother 15 years old. One of my favorite.
Strongly recommend. Great value
Très bon rhum mais clairement y'a meilleur. Ça reste néanmoins un rhum à avoir dans son bar. Meilleur que le 15 ans même si ce dernier est plus capiteux en bouche le 12 est plus subtil et parfumé.
Edit 4/2017:
This was my first "premium" rum (not counting Zaya), first tasted in 2015. It's very tasty, but also extremely sweet. Having tried 50+ rums since then, I have a much better idea of the landscape. I so still agree that it's a fantastic value, an excellent dessert rum, and an fine introduction to the Rumiverse. I'll happily accept a glass if offered, but won't be adding this to my cabinet anytime soon. 7-minus.
El Dorado: PLEASE release an unsweetened edition of this 12-year (or the 15, which I prefer). I would buy it in a heartbeat!
Original 11/2016:
My, but this rum is tasty! Extremely smooth and sweet, yet balanced. One of the best values in rum today. Savor this one, my friends.
first of all i got my bottle for 32$. The sheer quaility of this rum is fantastic for its price and id buy one every time.
super smooth when you first drink it and sweet. doesnt even burn.
well balanced between flavor palettes so nothing is overpowering but i do like the caramel.
This is a great introduction to sipping for your friends & family if they havent had a good sipping rum.
will always have one on my shelfs...
Lush tropical fruit and spice nose with hints of honey and dark sugar...
"El Dorado 12-Year rum review by Mike at Ultimate Rum Guide"
It’s sweeter with more delicate fruit flavours coming to the fore.
"It’s very sweet and quite light. It’s very easy drinking. As a sipping rum it as easy to drink."

While a bit sweet for some, I have rarely experienced a better sipping rum. Rich and spicy, with enough caramel hints to almost feel decadent, this is a drink that is meant to make you feel like royalty.
