El Dorado 12 Year Rum

Good sipping rum at a great price. The oak does not give it a strong nutty flavor. It is smooth with a nice finish.

Good flavor and value. Its just a hair sweeter than I would like neat. Mainly I'm writing this review because I want to share this cocktail I tried recently with it that is both tasty and simple. 1 part simple syrup 1 part lemon juice 2 parts El Dorado 12 yr Shaken and strained into a martini glass. I like it because a lot of cocktails require fancy ingredients. This one is easy. Just fresh lemons and some sugar to make a simple syrup out of. Personally I'd recommend playing with the ratios of lemon/sugar to rum till you find your preferred taste. If you're making it at home the easiest thing to do is just have a sip before you shake and serve ;)
