Blended & aged Demerara rum produced by Demerara Distillers Limited at Diamond Distillery, the last remaining distillery in Guyana
Blend of column and pot still rums distilled from molasses in DDL’s Enmore wooden Coffey still (EHP), Port Mourant wooden vat still (PM), and Diamond Coffey stills (SVW)
Aged minimum 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels
Marzipan, cherry, and cinnamon lead a nose of fruit, spice, and dry herbs reminiscent of rye whiskey; a rounded palate of baked apple, dried date, clove, and oak tannin finishes with ripe papaya, galangal, and sourdough.
Long hailed as a staple bottle for any rum collection and a gateway into the world of fine, well-aged rum, El Dorado 12 Year not only serves as an incredible cocktail component but also stands on its own as a refined sipping spirit. Anchored by a blend of rums from the last operating wooden stills of their kind, this Demerara rum is tropically aged at least 12 years, resulting in a faintly smoky spirit with robust fruit and baking spice—a favorite of bartenders and connoisseurs of aged spirits alike.
