Intense aromas of dark fruits such as plums and raisins, combined with caramel, dark chocolate, and a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg spice. Subtle notes of toasted nuts and vanilla complete the profile.

Palate

Full-bodied and robust, with rich flavors of toffee, butterscotch, and dried fruits. Spicy notes of clove and pepper provide balance, while the oak adds a gentle smokiness. A touch of orange zest and honey adds a refreshing brightness.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering notes of caramel, dark chocolate, and an elegant hint of toasted nuts and spices. A complex and luxurious finish.

El Dorado and the Unique World of Demerara Rum

El Dorado is one of the most iconic rum brands in the world, produced by Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL), based in Guyana. The name "El Dorado" refers to the mythical city of gold, and this rum lives up to its name with its rich history, exceptional quality, and deep, complex flavors.

What sets El Dorado apart is its unique production process. Guyana has a long-standing history of rum-making, and El Dorado builds on this tradition with a remarkable heritage. DDL owns several historic stills, some of which date back to the 18th century. These stills play a crucial role in creating the distinctive character of El Dorado rums.

The iconic stills of Demerara Distillers Limited

DDL uses some of the oldest and most unique stills in the world, each contributing its own specific role in crafting the signature flavors of El Dorado rum. Notable stills include:

Wooden Coffey Still

This is one of the last remaining wooden Coffey stills in the world. Originally used on the Enmore plantation, it produces a soft, complex rum with light notes of spice and fruit.

Double Wooden Pot Still

Hailing from the Port Mourant plantation, this is one of the last surviving double wooden pot stills. It creates a heavy, rich rum with notes of dark chocolate, spices, and a touch of wood.

Single Wooden Pot Still

This still comes from the Versailles plantation and is a single wooden pot still. The rum produced here has a distinctive character with flavors of fruit, spice, and a hint of smoke.

Savalle Still

This four-column Savalle still, originally from the Uitvlugt plantation, produces lighter, fruitier rums that are key components in many El Dorado blends.
