Demerara Distillers of Guyana produces El Dorado 12-year rum and is the country's last remaining distillery, with origins tracing back to 1670. The name ""El Dorado"" references the legendary city of gold that is said to be in the country's Rupununi region.

This is NOT a great example of Demerara. Too much sweetening done - It covers flavours badly. The age statement is hard to believe from taste, no oak present. Just burned molasses, and sugars.

The sweetest I tasted with orange and other fruit flavours. More like a liqour and definitly better to mix. To sweet and dominant for my taste.

This is definitely a dosage bottle but I'd say 15 > 21 > 12. I sip it or occasionally use in a cocktail

It cost $45 but worth maybe $20. Very harsh,lacks the smoothness of most real 12 year old rums.

Comme l'El Dorado 15, ce rhum du Guyana n'est pas à mon goût. Avec celui-ci et quelques autres, mon désamours des rhums de type anglais se confirme.

It's the sweetest rum ever made.
And it's full of sugar, just watch the glass next day.
For me, it ends in the tea. It was the longest lasting bottle i ever got. And i remembered it, even it's around 8 years ago. For me, never again.
