Having already tasted the 3, 5 and 15, I thought it would be about time, that I had a go with the most common of the El Dorado rums.
Nose: Brown sugar, tobacco and a slight oaky whiff in the end
Taste: Brown sugar, honey, vanilla and some oak in the short and sweet aftertaste
Overall: This rum is fine. It is nothing mindblowing and to sweet for my likings, but it is a good entry rum for newer rum drinkers and it should get some merit for that.
Bere un buon rhum dolce ma senza scadere nella dolcezza esagerata dei rum troppo melassati (vedi Zacapa).
Un rhum che sa di rhum dovete provarlo, qualità prezzo uno dei migliori rum in circolazione.
Un ambra abbastanza importante per un rhum di 12 anni, al palato subito un po di dolcezza, ben equilibrato dal sentore alcolico finale. Sapore ci caramello iniziale, cioccolato finale.
Absolutely perfect. Tasted very good, price very good.
Easy to drink, for beginners a good choice because low price.
This is one of the best rums I have tasted. It has a light tase and a lingering finish. Slightly fruity aroma. I don’t think it is overly sweet.
I feel that this is an excellent sipping rum. The noise is heavy with a molasses carmel note that pleasantly follows through to the taste. I have also noticed that when chilled, I taste a slight banana along with a stronger baking spice.
Overall I would recommend this rum
Rich plums, caramelized apples, coffee, dark chocolate and spices.
I prefer it straight
Very smooth, incredibly sipping rum
Received as a gift. Nice amber color, complex aroma. Medium weight on tongue, nice smooth finish with slight burn. Very nice - I would get this again when this one gets kicked.
It is a decent sipping rum, but nothing special......

For anyone just starting out in building their rum collection, this is THE demerara rum to own! Makes a great Donga Punch. Mix with equal parts Smith and Cross and you have a world class blended rum that cannot be beat. I am interested to see how it compares to El Dorado 8, though. The 8 is very difficult to find in my area.
