As well as the most up-to-date distillation equipment, Demerara Distillers possesses a wealth of traditional expertise, with old-style Demerara pot stills, and patent rum and alcohol stills. The last fully operating rectangular wooden Coffey still in the Western world continues to be used for the production of the companies finest spirits.
El Dorado Spiced Rum is a full bodied example of the style and employs all natural flavourings to capture a distinctive Caribbean character. Awarded a Silver Medal at the 1999 International Wine and Spirit Competition of London.
Tasting note: Bright deep gold colour. Offers up a delightful amalgam of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove coupled with spicy fruit cake notes. The palate is authentically spicy and true to style with its delicious Christmas fruit cake quality repeating the aroma, this time with a wonderful surge of ginger biscuit towards the finish. Concludes satisfying, vibrant and fresh. Easily one of the best spiced rum we've tasted. 40% Alc./Vol.
