About El Dorado 12 Year Old Rum
El Dorado 12 Year Old Rum is a sumptuous spirit that truly captures the spirit of the Caribbean. This delightfully complex rum, available at Curiada for 2-5 day delivery, comes straight from the heart of South America, hailing from Guyana, a land known for its rich history in crafting world-class spirits. It is produced by Demerara Distillers, a legendary company celebrated for its mastery in creating award-winning rums that speak volumes about Guyana’s centuries-old tradition of rum-making.
What makes this rum, and indeed any Guyanese rum, stand out is the use of Demerara sugar. Named after a river in Guyana, Demerara sugar possesses a unique richness and depth of flavor that gives the rum a distinct edge. And when it’s processed in the hands of seasoned distillers, it results in an exceptionally smooth and flavorful rum like El Dorado 12.
When pitted against similar products like the Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12 Year Reserve, El Dorado 12 holds its ground impressively, appealing to the palates of discerning cocktailers with its unique flavor profile.
