I just love the taste much better than Meyers.The Meyers has a slight fake sweet flavor compared to the molasses hint i get from El Dorado.I feel like if you use just a little to much Meyers it can overpower a drink. I have tried the cheaper bottle of El Dorado that does not have an age on it and dont really care for it. However i always use the 5y/o as my dark rum in almost every drink that asks for it. I have a local store that keeps a nice supply of it so i'm lucky in that way. I also love El Dorado 12 and 15y/o for that special drink for a friend who appreciates it. They are both nice sipping rums too. "He who does anything because it is the custom makes no choice." Tiki Jam 2 [ Edited by: Loki 2006-08-18 07:31 ]
