El Dorado Rum: Demerara Heritage and Know-How

El Dorado draws its essence from the heart of the Demerara distillery, the largest in the Caribbean, born from the merger in 1999 of the last historic stills in Guyana. Since the 17th century, British and then Dutch colonists have shaped a unique heritage where some equipment still retains wooden elements, reflecting a living tradition. The secret of El Dorado lies in the long 26-hour fermentation, carried out with a house yeast, followed by a hybrid distillation: old pot stills and modern columns create nine distinct aromatic profiles. This alchemy combines power, finesse and complexity. Aged in carefully selected barrels, El Dorado reveals notes of caramelized molasses, toasted wood and candied citrus on the nose. On the palate, the sweetness of cane sugar blends with warm spices and dried fruits, for a long finish where vanilla and tobacco are subtly expressed. A true quintessence of "Old Vatted Demerara", El Dorado can be enjoyed neat to appreciate every nuance or used in cocktails to enhance your creations. An exceptional rum, the result of a successful marriage between modernity and centuries-old heritage.
