Hugomarink Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Just tried some of this the other day. Had never heard of it, but I see it goes for about the same as a bottle of Zacapa 23 YO. I was very pleasantly surprised by this rum. I found it to be super smooth and very tasty. Definitely an outstanding sipping rum. Anybody else familiar with this stuff?
khomeinist Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Yes sir. I prefer this to the Zacapa. Would you like to find heaven? Match an aged El Rey del Mundo with this fine rum. This combination was my typical dusk experience last summer.

This combination was my typical dusk experience last summer. I had a JL #2 with the El Dorado on Monday and it was a fantastic pairing. Wonderful. I'm drinking some Zacapa XO right now and it's not tasting as good as I remember the El Dorado tasting.
Mr.T Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 This is a very good rum value for money and worthy of its numerous awards...wonderfully smooth and complex. I'm going to look for the 21 year old next.

TheMcG Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I love this rum! I'm currently looking for a bottle of the 21 year old but unfortunately my city is sold out.
IcedCanuck Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I actually picked up a bottle last month after hearing so many good things about it. I can't remember what I paired it with but I did really like it but still prefer Zacapa 23.
goalie204 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 i have a lot of el dorado 15, but still havent tried z23, and want to ;(
TWalker Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 ElDorado 12 is my go to rum. There is a huge jump in price from the 12 to the 15, so I usually stick with the 12 but it's a great rum with a few cubes and a cigar.
riazp Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 On Shlomo's advice i picked up a bottle of El Dorado 15, and it is a fantastic bottle of rum, very smooth, nice sweetness to it, pairs great with every cigar i've had it with so far. This bottle will be a regular in my rotation for sure.
Strada Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Yep Eldorado 15 is solid. Stil got to try the 23!
dangolf18 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Thanks for the tip. Is it difficult to find in the states?
TWalker Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Thanks for the tip. Is it difficult to find in the states? I've seen it around the Buffalo area for a good price, not sure about elsewhere stateside.
Lotusguy Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 El Dorado 15 and even 21 are not that hard to find in California at least.
