El Dorado 5-Year

This rum works, not as a sipper, but works decently in a cocktail.

Ikke smagt. .

Not good on its own. You'd do better to save your money and buy a nicer bottle for a bit more money. Cheaper mixers available.

I really like the bottle design and the color of the rum, nice display bottle in the bar. Perfect for guess who are use to rum and coke and want something else than a captain coke.

a good rum for cooking with or maybe mixing with dark pop

A touch hot, but there is a bit of that El D nuance.
sugar test - 5g

If some one says they like rum and then say they like captain Morgan. Then start them with this it is good enough to show them something, but not waisted the good stuff

Ranked 7.5 on my scale, but the bottles here are never half full. A nice aftertaste. Oak flavor but not as rich as the 12.

A solid mixing rum. However if given the choice I would opt for the 8

Very good, for a small price. Will enhance any cocktail if you replace your base rhum by this one.
