El Dorado 25 Year Old 1997 Rum is one of the finest expressions of Guyana's aged rum, a masterpiece from Demerara Distillers Limited. A true liquid treasure, this rare collectible rum embodies the elegance, patience, and mastery of ancestral know-how, passed down for centuries on the banks of the Demerara River.
Its story begins with a choice raw material: local molasses, renowned for their richness and aromatic concentration. These are distilled in the house's legendary wooden and metal stills, including the famous Port Mourant Double Pot Still and the wooden Coffey Still, unique in the world.
Vintage 1997, this nectar has aged for twenty-five long years in a tropical climate, in carefully selected oak barrels. Aging in barrels in Guyana accelerates the exchange between the wood and the alcohol, providing great concentration. Over time, the aromas have blended harmoniously, giving rise to a tasting aged rum where power and refinement combine perfectly.
Each bottle, carefully bottled and numbered, is a tribute to the heritage of Demerara rum.
