    How does this rum taste?

    • Excellent for mixing in cocktails

    • Approachable Demerara rum profile

    Caramel and roasted notes headline El Dorado 8, with RumX tasters consistently highlighting vanilla, oak, and hints of raisin both on the nose and palate. The community values its versatility: approachable enough to sip, but truly shines as a standout mixer in cocktails and classics like Rum & Coke. Those seeking a flavourful, gently sweet Guyanese rum at a wallet-friendly price will find plenty to appreciate here. Worth discovering if you like your rums balanced between richness and mixability.

    "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."
