Retasting and I still find it very sweet.
Review by Kieron Wood
My comments back when Tasting it in 2016 were - Honestly flavours cannot comprehend how good of a rum this is ... El Dorado stands for liquid gold and this is the holy grail ... I would own a 1000 bottles if I could. Looking back retrospectively I think I would need to revisit it wi5h my rum journey now as I imagine I would hate the dosed sugar in it but until I retaste it the score stays .
