El Dorado Rum 21 Years 0.7L 43%

From sugar producers and colonial rulers

El Dorado Rum 21 Years is a golden rum from the Demerara distillers in South American Guyana and is made from the careful marriage of long-matured individual rums, with the youngest of these rums maturing for at least 21 years in oak barrels and some of the rums it contains may well be considerably older. Guyana used to be a major sugar producer and up to 300 distilleries were built around the sugar mills, producing rum on a large scale for the constantly changing colonial rulers and their fleets. Guyana rum or Demerara rum has always been considered particularly strong and aromatic and was often used in blended rums. On English ships, sailors were also given a daily ration of rum. This was a popular custom that only ended on July 31, 1970, the so-called Black Tot Day, when rum was served on board ships for the last time.

Demerara Rum Distillers

After the decline of the sugar industry due to competition from sugar beet, the number of distilleries in operation also decreased and today only the Demerara Distillers produce rum in Guyana. However, they can draw on a large number of former distilleries from the Enmore Distillery, the Coffey Stills from the Diamond Distillery, the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still and the Versailles Single Wooden Pot Still and are thus able to produce an enormous range of rum styles.

El Dorado Rum 15 years 0.7L 43% Finest rum from Guyana Guyana, located in South America with borders to Brazil, Suriname and Venezuela, has a direct connection to the Atlantic Ocean and can look back on a long tradition of rum production. The small country was once home to up to 300 distilleries, which were created as a byproduct of sugar production and mainly produced rum for the respective colonial rulers. Rum was previously used to sterilize drinking water on ships and was also served to sailors to keep morale high. Rum has thus become an important part of seafaring culture. Demerara rum has always been considered outstanding due to its heavy, complex character. El Dorado Rum 15 years is considered outstanding July 31, 1970, the so-called Black Tot Day, was the last day on which rum was served on board British ships and thus the fate of most distilleries was sealed due to the loss of the main buyer of rum. The last remaining distilleries gradually closed their doors and finally merged to form the Demerara Distillers. The old pot stills and continuous stills used by the Demerara Distillers are almost like museum pieces, but they also make it possible to produce a variety of different rum styles, thus keeping the myth of Guyanese rum alive. El Dorado Rum 15 Years is considered one of the finest rums in the category and is a dark, amber-colored rum and matures for at least 15 years in oak barrels before being bottled. El Dorado Rum 15 Years is a strong and expressive rum, with aromas of bananas, cedar wood and honey on the nose. El Dorado Rum 15 Years in taste El Dorado Rum 15 Years is a blend of rums from the former stills of Enmore, the Coffey Stills from the Diamond Distillery, the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still and the Versailles Single Wooden Pot Still.

The mouthfeel of El Dorado Rum 15 years is silky, full-bodied, extremely complex and impressive across the board. On the palate, grilled tropical fruits, caramel, oak tones and a lovely alcoholic note. El Dorado Rum 15 years wins medals one after the other and the list of its premieres is endless. Great!!! If there is a rum all-rounder that can introduce everyone to the subject of rum in the best possible way, then it is without a doubt El Dorado Rum 15 years.

El Dorado Rum 12 Years, 0,7 L, 40%
El Dorado Rum 12 Years 0.7L 40% Guyanese Rum El Dorado Rum 12 Years comes from the South American state of Guyana, which borders Brazil, Suriname and Venezuela as well as the Atlantic. Although Guyana only has a population of around 750,000, the small country can look back on an eventful history in the production of rum. In the heyday of rum production, almost every sugar cane plantation in the country had its own distillery. Of the 200-300 distilleries that once existed, only one remains. But how did the once flourishing industry decline so sharply? To understand this, we need to take a look at the history of the country. The history of rum from Guyana The history of Guyanese rum is closely linked to that of the British Navy. In the 18th century, the three colonies of Demerara, Essequibo and Berbice in Guyana were owned by the Dutch crown. After a slave revolt in 1763, however, their ownership changed hands between the French, Dutch and British. The British were the ones who built the first sugar cane plantations to produce spirits. They needed the liquor for their ship crews. As it was impossible to keep drinking water sterile on long crossings at the time, each sailor was given a ration of 0.5 liters of rum per day to make their water drinkable. The demand was so enormous that more and more plantations and distilleries were built in Guyana, eventually reaching the aforementioned number of 200-300 distilleries. However, due to improved hygiene conditions and microbiological findings, rum on board ships became increasingly pointless and daily rations were steadily reduced. After a long period of being purely traditional, the last rum was finally served on board British ships on July 31, 1970, the so-called Black Tot Day. The ban on rum on board ships also sealed the fate of the distilleries and the last remaining distilleries gradually closed their doors. Only Demerara Distillers remained. However, this distillery is no ordinary one, as many famous stills from the closed distilleries were collected there. These old pot stills and continuous stills are not museum-like, but are still in operation, allowing Demerara Distillers to produce a variety of different rum styles and keep the myth of Guyanese rum alive. El Dorado Rum 12 Years The El Dorado 12 is probably the best-known rum from Demerara Distillers. It was the first rum that company boss Yesu Persaud brought to market. He had the vision early on to create a rum that stood out from the often overwhelmingly heavy style of former Demerara rums. He succeeded in doing this with the El Dorado, which, in addition to the heavy molasses tones, also has fine fruity aromas of orange and pineapple. El Dorado Rum 12 Years is an outstanding rum that is a real treat both neat and in cocktails and long drinks. Absolute recommendation!

El Dorado Rum Port Mourant Ruby Port Special Cask Finish 2000 Limited Edition 2018 0,7L 59,3%
El Dorado Rum Port Mourant Ruby Port Special Cask Finish 2000 Limited Edition 2018 0.7L 59.3% El Dorado Port Mourant Ruby The names of a whisky, rum or gin usually always give a small hint about a certain storage method, a certain finish, etc. Here, too, with the new addition to the El Dorado Rum, the addition of 'Port Mourant Ruby' gives you an idea of what finish it is. After the rum had already spent 13 years in ex-bourbon barrels and was able to develop an incredibly great aroma, this limited edition was given an additional finish of 5 years in old French oak barrels, in which Ruby Port wine from the Douro Valley in Porto was previously stored. Over the entire maturation period, an indescribably fine aroma was able to develop, which can already be clearly recognized on the nose. Here, notes of roasted bananas and coconut pamper the senses. On the palate, a very deep aroma: toffee, various spices and the taste of dark red cherries can be recognized. The aroma continues into a long and very powerful finish, with fine vanilla and honey notes joining the existing notes and memories of cedar wood emerging.
