El Dorado 8 Year Rum

This rum is tasty. Pleasuring taste, nice warmth, beautiful amber-brown colour and delicious smell. This one almost drink itself. Not so distinctive as 12yo, but it's rather complementary to it than being it's weaker brother. It have usual taste palette for middle-aged rums, nothing distinctive, but all well balanced and sugarcoated with some kind of delicious molasses sweetness. For this, it's one of my favourite benefit-cost rums here. Well, isn't the rating here beautiful? I generally like this one, and rate (in it's category its well above average rum) by seven (and a 3/4). Other fella rather dislikes this one and regrets his 18 EUR purchase, all that for rating 7...

Nutty, spicy, sweet, and fruity. Not the 12 yr but not bad either for the money.

I get strong molasses and brown sugar on the nose, with a healthy (but not overpowering) earthiness. Brown sugar taste, moderate body, some burn. Can taste some of the barrel. Doesn’t taste as “finished” as the 15 year, but also doesn’t seem to have as much added sugar. A great value rum for sipping.

Taste like a Smokie scotch

Im new to the rum game so i didnt know what 'hogo' or 'funk' tastes like. But i learned from the description that this is it. Its a bit of an acquired taste, i dont hate it but i dont love it either. It has a little bit of a whiskey vibe in the aftertaste with the accompanying burn.

Smooth, not too sweet, and it being aged in ex whiskey casks makes a lot of sense from how it tastes. Probably a good rum for whiskey heads to start with. Little bit of ice takes the edge off the burn
