I've been wanting to get my hands on some El Rey chocolate for quite awhile, but instead of bars, I've only been able to get some samples which I will review here. (I ordered these from http://www.worldwidechocolate.com/ ).

Taste: Milk, caramel, cream, latte.

El Rey Mijano 61%
Color: Dark brown.
Nose: A bit of raisin, dried blueberries, latte.
Texture: Crisp, smooth, luxurious.
Taste: Hints of butter, marshmallow cream (but not sweet), Americano drink, blueberry, drinking hot chocolate.
Finish: Medium/long finish.
El Rey Gran Saman 70%
Color: Dark brown.
Nose: Citrus, light orange/clementine, butter.
