How does this rum taste?
RumX members praise the 2020 release for its drier profile and standout nose: woody caramel, vanilla, and raisin. The palate follows with warm spice, burnt sugar, dark chocolate, and dried fruit, finishing smooth and lingering. Enjoyed neat or on the rocks, some also mix it. Popular with 72 reviews and strong buyer confidence, though a few find the palate less deep than the nose.

I love that they have reduced the sugar content to near zero. This has improved the quality of this rum a lot. Nice and fruity with spices and a warm palate. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass is really nice.
Tasted the new less sweetened El Dorado 21yo after a better dinner at a restaurant downtown Stockholm. It’s still very tasteful, but drier which suits me better. So they’ve made a good job at DDL to make it such good without much of the sugar.
I was fairly pissed when I tried this but I did like it. No where near as sweet as the previous version and it has a reasonable amount of complexity. Can't go to far wrong with it. Wood, caramel and dark chocolates.
This super round rhum is made from rums of between 21 and 25 years of age and is very well rounded. 8,7:On the nose it is buttery, with chocolatey notes behind it. Ripe banana and fruity Christmas cake. Airing brings hints of tobacco and sandalwood in the nest of coconut, leading into spent match smokiness. 8,8:On the palate there are dry sultanas, dates, blackcurrant and macadamia nuts, a touch of rose water. The wood is toasted. The mid-palate brings dark chocolate and nutmeg too. 8,6:The finish is long and it just keeps going in! There's fried banana and handfuls of raisin notes right through to the end, with just a little hint of spicy cinnamon.. Quite an upgrade from 15y.This is rum with a big R. A super sipper!
