DDL El Dorado 12 12yr 40%

"It’s quite sweet, almost too sweet. The new 2020 release is therefore much better. It tastes a lot of Demerara sugar. But I believe it’s one of the better entries to the rum world if you still can get a hold of a bottle."

"Very sweet, soft and round, but with good depth and weight. Notes of brown sugar, toffee, vanilla and caramel."

""One of my first crushes, a sure bet. Vanilla, tobacco, fruit, licorice and very accessible. To sum up, my tasting notes: On the nose: Caramel, Glue On the palate: Caramel, Tobacco Finish: Coffee"."

"Edit: great for baking. I made rum balls with dark chocolate. Great addictive potential for baking Was one of my first purchases in the rum world. But I don't regret it. But the taste is now a little too sweet for me."

"solid mediocrity. but much too sweet and syrupy, strangely bitter at the end"

"Mmmmmh, eine Wohltat von Rum nach dem ganzen Müll von heute. Egal, jeder Punkt zählt :-) Hier haben wir eine angenehme Süsse in Nase und Gaumen von Vanille und Karamell. Auf jeden Fall sehr lecker :-)"

"8,2:The nose is relatively light with fruity notes, held together by a dry, toasty woodiness and warm spices , it begins to deliver its luscious nutty aromas after some rest.With aeration, the sweetness of pecans and maple syrup take over, very tempting indeed. The woodiness is combined with a caramelized, lightly roasted mixture, some vanilla, toffee, chocolate and an American oak notes, like orange peel, apricots and a pinch of smokiness, all very gourmand. 8,2:The palate is very smooth and thick, with juicy prunes and dried grapes, alcohol not felt at all. Nuts and spices then enter the scene, some coffee with caramel, vanilla conveyed by a gentle woodiness with notes of tangy fruit that bring a pinch of astringency. 8:The finish is light and spicy, a bit dry, smooth with some vanilla, exotic fruits are distant and smokiness. Better than expected.Better than 15y."

"Not much to say about this overly sweet rum. Caramel and vanilla. Perhaps a slight woodiness on the palate, but then, frankly, discreet... A profile without much interest in my opinion. No relief, too smooth. Bof"
