Rum EL Dorado Rare Collection Albion 2004 (70cl 60.1%) - 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.

El Dorado's Rare Collection is distinguished by being the soul of its productions, all the rums in this collection are distilled from one type of still, one of Demerara Distillers' great resources and assets, they are not filtered, they are not blended, they are bottled to cask grade. Unique and pure expressions of the Guyanese terroir. This release was distilled in 2004 in the Coffey column still, formerly of the Albion distillery; it is aged for over 14 years in Guyana's tropical climate. A rum at once powerful and delicate, it is sure to impress the most discerning palates.
