El Dorado 21-Year

This is the smoothest and most enjoyable sipping rum I have ever had the pleasure to taste. Maybe that means I haven't sipped enough yet. That is why I gave it a 9. I friend said they were sure it was not a rum spirit it was so smooth. I will definitely have to get another bottle as I finished the first one!

So warm, so rounded, so very lovely! Very smooth vanilla notes and oak.

A wonderful rum. Notes of dark chocolate, citrus and roasted coffee. A must try for anyone who appreciates rum, but in the long run its hard to justify the price difference to El dorado 15

This rum definitely impressed me. Very rich in nose - chocolate, caramel, vanilla and coffee. The body is full of a long finish. Perfect cigar rum.

Lots of people will say that they prefer the 12 or the 15, and I get that as for the money they are both fantastic choices however, the 21 is just better in my mind. Dried fruit, honey, cigar tobacco, and a rich nuttiness that the younger bottles lack.

OK, this is fantastic rum and there's no question about that. However, is it that much of an improvement over the 15yo to warrant the (extortionate in BC Canada) price point???

A complex and even intimidating choice for a beginner. Not burning, but what I'd call numbing palate. Oakyness can be clearly identified.

I was gifted a bottle of 21 y/o El Dorado. It was the 1st aged bottle I had tried. As a Scotch drinker (on the rocks or neat) I wasn't overly impressed, but still good. To me, the over 12 rums are very smooth but seem to lack the character of the 12 y/o. Not sure I'd buy it again for the $$$.

El Dorado 21 years is certainly one of my favourit rums. It's well balanced and has certain notes that I cannot find in other rums, so far. Fully recommended

Hits like an oak log but finishes like pancake syrup without the maple. Cant say its a giant leap from the other El Dorado products and therefore I question the substantial price difference.
