El Dorado Rum 12 years old

Description

El Dorado Rum comes from a blend of various South American rums carefully selected and distilled in the historic stills of the Demerara distillery in the state of Guyana. The area is particularly fertile: on the banks of the Rio Demerara, some of the best sugar cane in the world is grown. The distillery is the only one to survive the mass closure that occurred after the Second World War and houses the stills of the others. The focal point of the company's work is this: maintaining the ancient infrastructure and producing its own yeasts for fermentation, to guarantee a genuine, high-quality product. The rum is aged in oak ex-bourbon barrels: Demerara Distillers produces various spirits, called "marks, from a stock of approximately 100,000 barrels. El Dorado is born from the blend of various rums: the youngest distillate is no less than 12 years old. Amber in color, a strong flavor with hints of honey and sugar, and a long, lingering finish that's a real treat: enriched by the scent of oak wood, where it completes its aging, this spirit is a versatile product with great character. Perfect for drinking alone or in cocktails, El Dorado rum has won several awards, including a double gold medal for two consecutive years at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in London.

Demerara Distillers

From this winery

Nearly entirely covered by the Amazonian virgin forest, Guyana is perhaps one of the least-contaminated worlds in the world, where nature still prevails far beyond the artificial works of human ingenuity.

Demerara Distillers, located near Georgetown's capital, is the only distillery to produce Rum El Dorado. Founded in the second half of the eighteenth century and in 1770 for the sake of precision, Demerara Distillers, as a result of the closure of eight national distilleries that ceased their activity after the Second World War, is today the only distillery left in operation in Guyana.

The company, thanks to the far-reaching decision of legendary director Yesu Persaudk, as well as possessing the world's largest stock of old Rums, can boast a combination of unique alambic, able to tell all the nuances and typicalities of the tradition of Rum itself. In detail, in the distillery you can meet three double columns coffey still, two modern multiple columns of Indian technology, two still savannahs, a wooden double pot still - also called Port Mourant - a wooden single pot, a coffey column wood amber, a Wedderburn style copper twig, a traditional copper amber and a small gin still batch: Thirteen alligs in total, thanks to which rum is distilled from the peculiar and specific characteristics that blend into a blend with a stock of about 100,000 barrels.

Distilled each of the unique and unparalleled style, which has been under the brand name "El Dorado" since 1992, with the ambition to exalt the best quality sugar cane in the world. No other rum distillery can boast such a heritage, consisting of a wide range of Rum labels, all of them high quality, since they are young or long-aging.
