Bacardi Reserva 8 Year Rum vs El Dorado 12 Year

The Bacardi Reserva 8 Year Rum makes for a good, if unremarkable, Rum for people with a $20 budget.

The El Dorado 12 Year, however, is merely mediocre at its $37 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $20 and $45 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.
