    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love El Dorado 8 for its versatility and value: a flavorful mixer that many also sip neat. Expect caramel, vanilla and toasted oak with Demerara brown sugar and raisin accents. Reviewers highlight its depth in Cuba Libres, tiki drinks, and even homemade eggnog. Some note a light alcohol bite and wish for higher proof, but with 108 reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a reliable, approachable Guyanese choice.

    How is this rum rated?

    6.8/10 110 reviews

    an outstanding rum for cocktails and fruit punch. Pictured here in the Rum Runner. But you can also really enjoy it on its own and for a great price, it's a must-have in my home bar.

    Woody, sweet, bitter with a slight alcoholic tingle on the lips. I do not get much more out of it, not mine.

    All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

    My mixing rum for tiki cocktails.
