About this SPIRIT
El Dorado
El Dorado Rum is a Rum produced at Diamond Distillery, the only extant distillery in Guyana. The distillery is located on the outskirts of the capital, Georgetown, just a few yards from the Demerara River.
Once the molasses arrives, everything takes place on the sprawling site, from fermentation (with commendable carbon-capture technology being employed) to final bottling. Within the still house are a veritable cornucopia of stills, ranging from highly efficient multi-column apparatus for producing light-bodied white rums; through to the unique jewels of the ancient wooden stills Versailles (a single wooden pot still), Port Morant (a double wooden pot still) and Enmore (a wooden Coffey still). This irreplaceable range of stills and the skill of the men and women operating them mean that Diamond can produce arguably the broadest range of rums on the planet.

Description
A monumental aged rum that is one of the world’s greatest rum drinking experiences” : That is how the Beverage Tasting Institute of Chicago summed up their appreciation of El Dorado 21 Year Old Special Reserve.
This is a blend of specially selected rums, oak aged for at least 21 years, from the Enmore wooden Coffey still, the Versailles single wooden pot still and the Albion Savalle still. On the palate, lush tropical fruit and spice nose with hints of honey and dark sugar. Round, mellow, full bodied palate with rich flavours of fruit and spice.
