If you get a chance try Zaya rum.I have drank the El Dorado Rum in the 12,15 and 20 and I find This better.

I'm  a fan of the El Dorado Rums so I will give the Zaya a go and see what's what  

may have listed before but worth reposting...

Dos Maderas 5+ 5

originates in Guyana and/or Barbados then ships to Jerez, Spain for more barrel aging (assume sherry).
Great sipper, with or without a cigar.

saw a bottle of 3 + 2...maybe the 5 + 5 is the top of the line?

I was never much of a rum guy. I prefer bourbon or tequila.

I liked the El Dorado and Zacapa, but really loved the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva.  Found it went better with a cigar than the El Dorado, which was great, but a little too sweet to pair with a cigar IMO.  The Diplomatico is definitely sweet, but has a little more character to me.
