I haven't had a chance to write a review of it yet, but it's one of my favorite white rums. You'd be hard-pressed to find a similar intersection of quality, fun, and flavor to what El Dorado 3 achieves. I have had the El Dorado 3.

I haven't had the chance to try this one yet but I am very excited to now. Have you tried the EL Dorado 3 Year Cask Aged Demerara White Rum. This rum is also aged and then filtered clear. At first sip you taste "sugar cane". Like you just took a bite into piece of cane. Also, very smooth and makes for a sipping rum. This was the first clear Rum I have tasted that really enjoyed. Thank you for the review Matt.

If you were to look for another similar rum in terms of "premium aged white rum" you'd have to look to Oronoco out of Brazil. I'm not aware of many others. This is definitely a rum that was meant for sipping or for use in very delicate cocktails - I don't think using it in a Cuba Libre is something I'd recommend. ;) $40US is pretty steep for a blanco, but this is one of those new-breed “aged blancos” where they age it for much more than the usual year to year and a half and then go through extensive filtering to remove the color – which is why the rum is so exceptionally smooth compared to most other whites.

I just had this last week at RumFest and was really impressed with it - and the entire line of Diplomatico rums. The only thing that bothered me - if I'm remembering correctly - is that this is really quite expensive for a blanco, no? Nice review, Matt.
