El Dorado Rum 12 Years - Rum from Guyana!
El Dorado now sounds almost like a synonym for rum from Guyana. But Guyanese rum once had a much broader spectrum, without wanting to call the outstanding quality of El Dorado Rum 12 Years into question.
The history of Guyanese rum
Guyanese rum has an eventful history. The current colonies of Demerara, Essequibo and Berbice were once owned by the Dutch crown, but changed hands several times in 1763 after a slave uprising. In the years that followed, the British also owned the colonies for a time and began to build sugar cane plantations. This was accompanied by the installation of distillation plants that distilled the remains of sugar production into rum. The production of rum had another purpose, however, because the high-proof "firewater" was used to sterilize the water supplies on board the British Navy. At that time, every sailor was entitled to a daily portion of 0.5 litres of rum per day (!) to make their drinking water germ-free. In this way, up to 300 distilleries in Guyana ensured sufficient supplies of rum. Due to the discoveries of Louis Pasteur and other scientists, the rum rations for the sailors were steadily reduced and finally abolished altogether. This also meant the demise of the rum industry in Guyana. Of the hundreds of distilleries that once existed, only one remains today, and this is also responsible for the El Dorado Rum 12 Years: Demerara Distillers!
The El Dorado Rum 12 Years
Demerara Distillers collects many of the country's old stills and, like in a living museum, they are still used every day. The first rum to be launched under the leadership of company boss Yesu Persaud was the El Dorado Rum 12 years. Persaud had the vision of creating a rum that stood out from the previously overwhelmingly heavy style of Guyanese rums while still retaining their complexity. He achieved this to perfection with the El Dorado Rum 12 years!
The taste of the El Dorado Rum 12 years
In addition to heavy molasses tones, the El Dorado Rum 12 years also has a fine, fruity aroma that makes the El Dorado Rum 12 years so special. It's up to you whether you enjoy the El Dorado Rum 12 years neat or in high-quality cocktails and long drinks. The only thing that remains to be said is that the El Dorado Rum 12 years is a statement and in this box with two matching glasses, the perfect enjoyment is guaranteed!
