Similar tasting rums to El Dorado?

No Jankdc, FdC isn't much like the ED's. Agricole for starters and a much dryer body and finish.

I agree that the FdC experience is a bit different than ED, but it doesn't have an agricole flavor. Are you sure it's agricole? Cap'n Jimbo categorizes it as demeraran.

FdC18 (a favorite of mine, along with ED15) presents much more wood initially after opening than any rum I've had, but it subdues over a week or so and becomes much more balanced. It's drier than ED15, but nothing like MGXO. ED15 is full of dried fruit flavors and is on the sweeter side for sure (like a vintage port, but not as sweet), while FdC18 is an experience more akin to a good bourbon, but not as dry. I thoroughly enjoy them both!

No.

I may have got that wrong. Cheers for picking that up.

The 7 seems agricoley to me but the facts I lack.

I haven't tried Flor De Cana yet it's on my list of must try rums. Didn't see it in the rum bar I was in on Saturday (pity) but will be trying it sooner of later.

When I do try it I'll go for the 12 year old first.

As far as Ron Barcelo is concerned I didn't like it from the sample I tried (imperial). Surprised at that after reading the reviews thought I would of loved it. May be I don't know my own palate as well as I thought I did.
