Rum EL DORADO 12 YO (70cl 40%) - crb

The history of sugarcane, its cultivation, and its distillation, in Guyana is ancient and fascinating. The land, before the arrival of Westerners, was for the most part invaded by the waters of the Atlantic; it was the Dutch, in the 17th century, thanks to polder technology, already used in the mother country, who reclaimed it and made it cultivable, and it was again the Dutch, at the end of the same century, who first brought sugarcane to Guyana and planted it on the banks of the Demerara River (from which the cultivar would take its name). The cane acclimated to perfection and profited greatly from all the nutrients that that land wrested from the ocean had benefited from. It was then, however, the British, with their incredible hunger for rum, who began distillation there. And the history of sugar cane in Guyana goes hand in hand with the history of Demerara Distillers, the producer of El Dorado Rum.

Aged for a minimum of 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels, it is a blend of rums distilled in the wooden Coffey Stills formerly at Enmore Distillery, rums distilled in the wooden Single Pot Still at Versailles Distillery, and other rums more aged from Demerara Distillers' incredible barrel collection. An elegant and complex rum, perfectly balanced, ideal in high blending or to be enjoyed neat after a great meal.
