Eredita una storia che ha le sue origini nell’impianto delle canne da zucchero lungo il fiume Demerara da parte dei coloni olandesi attorno al 1640, proseguita dagli inglesi, che nel 1650 importarono i metodi di distillazione. All’inizio dell’800 in Guyana erano presenti più di 300 produttori di zucchero, che distillavano la melassa negli impianti del paese. a b "Caribbean Nations Have High Hopes For the Biden-Harris Administration".

DDL sponsors countless local events, such as chess tournaments, [11] Guyana Fashion Week, [12] Soca Monarch competitions, [13] and Mashramani events. [14] They were an official partner of the inaugural tournament of the 2013 Caribbean Premier League, sponsoring the tournament's Catch of the Match award, which went to one player in each of the 24 matches who makes a catch. [15] I have no idea how they did it, but this is even better than the previous added sugar version. The most likely scenario is that El Dorado was simply changing with their market and realizing that the rum community is trending towards purity rather than sweetness. But what I find with this rum, (and maybe what they also realized), is that their rum is just absolutely fantastic all by its own. No sugar is needed. In fact, now having had both, and even though I enjoyed the previous iteration, this new pure version is FAR superior in every way. It is richer, earthier, fruitier, and fuller than it was.

El Dorado isn’t Rum in the Raw, though: It’s a smooth and sophisticated rum that’s well worth seeking out. Available in nearly a dozen variations, I tried three of its oldest bottlings. All are 80 proof. DDL credits the flavours of their rums to the oak barrels used in the distilling process and Guyana's tropical climate. The aging process in Guyana is supplemented by the high humidity and steady temperature. Rums are blended from different vintages produced in different stills, then aged in oak barrels.

That’s because in 2020 El Dorado decided to revamp their entire lineup and, to the near universal delight of the rum community, they decided remove or severely limit the amount of added sugar they used to add to their bottlings. In the case of this rum, it contains 0gpL of added sugar. Die Rumsorten, die den Titel Demerara tragen, sind alle untrennbar mit Guyana (dem britischen, nicht dem französischen Teil) verbunden. In der Nähe des Demerara-Flusses und an der Küste wird dieser spezielle, global anerkannte und hochgeschätzte Rum hergestellt. Allen voran ein Betrieb hat sich damit einen Namen gemacht und dem Herstellungsland zu Weltruhm verholfen: die Firma Demerara Distillers Limited. Sie ist für die Marke El Dorado - "der Goldene", auf die legendäre Stadt voller Gold und Schätzen im lateinamerikanischen Dschungel anspielend - zuständig. Darüber hinaus brennt sie so manch ein Destillat, das in fremden Blends bekannter Marken verwendet wird. Mehr als 26 Millionen Liter Alkohol werden in der Brennerei pro Jahr produziert, die das Erbe der Diamond Distillery in die weite Welt hinausträgt. This is a pure Demerera rum distilled on DDLs column still and then tropically aged for 15 years in ex-bourbon casks. Unlike the previous iteration, this newer bottling contains no added sugar. So now the million dollar question: how does it compare to the previous sugar-added iteration?

To my mind, this incarnation of El Dorado 12 is better than its predecessor but isn't going to wow the masses in the same way. I also think that, at this price point, it is one of the better rums around. With that said, I'd happily a bit more for a 12 year old with a greater percentage of the pot still. This would probably put it in line with quality and price of some other good rums (I want to mention Doorly's 12, though I've not had it recently, so don't quote me on that).

Personally speaking I cannot give any rum a 10 because I do not believe a perfect rum exists. The late great Vince Lombardi once said, "Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good."" Hailing from Guyana, El Dorado makes what is known as demerara rum, which is simply a rum from the Guyana area that is made using demerara sugar, aka turbinado sugar — you probably know the coarse brown crystals best under the trade name Sugar in the Raw.

Tasting Notes

The finish is long, rich, and more of the same: ages of Raisins, Candied Figs, Prunes, and Brown Sugar - but here with a touch of butter. This is the best commercially available aged Demerara that I have enjoyed by some margin. Well done DDL!
