How El Dorado 21 Year Old is Made:

This prestigious Guyanese rum represents the pinnacle of Demerara Distillers' craftsmanship. The spirit is distilled using a combination of their historic wooden stills - including the world's last wooden pot still and wooden Coffey still, both dating back to the 18th century. The rum then undergoes 21 years of tropical aging in ex-bourbon oak casks, where Guyana's warm climate intensifies the maturation process, creating exceptional depth and character.

Heritage & History:

Each bottle of El Dorado 21 carries forward a rum-making legacy that spans over 300 years. The historic Port Mourant double wooden pot still and the Enmore wooden Coffey still used in its production are the last of their kind in the world, making this rum a living piece of distilling history.
