El Dorado Rum Tasting Experience
$115.00
Guyana’s El Dorado rums are the best in the world! And that is not just us making this claim. No other rum has been voted best in the world more than once. However, the El Dorado 15-year-old has won nine awards and the 12-year-old is not far behind with five awards. The county of Demerara in Guyana has been steeped in the history of sugar and rum production since the 17th century. Today Demerara Distillers operates the last remaining distillery in Guyana, after having consolidated all the old original stills and marques which make Demerara Rum so distinctive.
Crated on the banks of the Demerara, the smooth and uniquely complex El Dorado aged rums represent over 300 years of Caribbean rum crafting. Faithfully continuing to use the original wooden heritage stills from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries the master blenders coax out rich and diverse characters from within the spirit. El Dorado Rums are blended selections of different “vintages”or batches of rums from different stills-raged in oak barrels.
Your rum tasting experience at The Patio Bar at the colonial Cara Lodge includes a background on Guyana’s story of sugar, slavery and rum and then your chance to decide on your personal favourite as your rum-tasting guide leads you through samples of El Dorado’s 5- year, 12-year, 15-year and 21-year-old award-winning rums.

- EL DORADO 5-YEAR OLD
Laid down in oak barrels for at least five years, this rum is imbued with unsurpassed dimensions and depth. Enjoyed best straight or on the rocks.
Tasting notes
Lively with a dried tropical fruit nose with aromas of caramel, butterscotch and molasses. A vibrant spicy entry leads to an evolving palate of fruit, caramel and toasted coconut, fading to a vanilla-tinted gow.
- EL DORADO 12-YEAR OLD
This rum has been laid down in oak barrels for at least 12 years producing a rich and diverse spirit. Blended to perfection using a combination of the Enmore and Diamond Coffey Stills and the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still.
Tasting notes
Lush tropical fruit and spice nose with hints of honey and dark sugar. The profile is round, mellow and full bodied with rich flavours of fruits and spice. The finish is delightful, elegant and dry.
- EL DORADO 15-YEAR OLD
This rum has been laid down in oak barrels for at least 15 years then artfully blended using the Enmore and Diamond Coffey Stills, the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still and the Versailles Single Wooden Pot Still – for you to savour and enjoy.
Tasting notes
Full nose packed with dark coffee, candied orange, almonds, dark chocolate, pepper and rich vanilla. Beautifully rounded palate with a great spread of flavours: grilled tropical fruit with smooth oaky spice – silky, vibrant and moderately full-bodied.
- EL DORADO 21-YEAR OLD
This richly crafted rum has been laid down in oak barrels for at least 21 years then artfully blended for you to savour and enjoy.
Tasting notes
Nose of mocha, toffee, tobacco, and dark spices. The mouth is velvety smooth with full body of tropical fruits, coffee, leather, and rich toffee. The finish is nutty and smoky.
- EL DORADO 25-YEAR OLD
Created to mark the turn of the millennium, El Dorado 25-Year Old Grand Special Reserve possesses a silky smoothness which challenges the oldest cognac. The constant ambient warmth and tropical conditions of Demerara dramatically hasten the maturation process. An after dinner treat for sipping slowly and sparingly.
