3. El Dorado 12 Year Old

Insider Monkey Score: 12

A blend of several barrels aged for a minimum of 12 years, the El Dorado 12 possesses a rich fruity bouquet of explosive flavors, owing largely to the estery richness acquired from the EHP Wooden Coffey and Metal Coffey Stills.

Since its launch, El Dorado has produced a range of rums aged from 3 to 25 years old. Run by Demerara distillers, the Guyanese brand has shown significant growth in recent years and is now an internationally recognized producer of award-winning rums with a range of 20 varieties.
