Discover Guyana
Guyana's wooden stills (Enmore, Port Mourant, Uitvlugt) make some of the most distinctive rum on earth, from soft Demerara to collector icons.
Rums in this list
DDL El Dorado 12
DDL El Dorado 12Tasting noteSweet, easy Demerara entry sipper
32 €Best for: Beginners and bourbon/whiskey drinkers easing into sweet, soft rum
A reliable entry-level Demerara most tasters enjoy, especially newcomers. The honest catch: older bottles are quite sweet and one-dimensional, and many find the 15-year better balanced.
DDL El Dorado 15 (2020 Release)
DDL El Dorado 15 (2020 Release)Tasting noteEasy Demerara sipper, coffee and dark wood
46 €Best for: People wanting an honest, less-sweet entry into Guyana rum
Loved as an honest, less-sweet Guyana sipper with coffee, wood and dried fruit. Many wish it were stronger — the low ABV leaves it thin with a short finish for some.
DDL El Dorado 8
DDL El Dorado 8Tasting noteSweet, woody Demerara, best as a mixer
23 €Best for: People who like sweet, easy Demerara rum for cocktails and rum & cola
A recognizable, slightly sweet Demerara that shines mixed and reads a bit simple or bitter neat. One newer drinker found it dry and harsh; most call it a dependable everyday bottle.
Perola Diamond Bellamy‘s Reserve MDR 2012
Perola Diamond Bellamy‘s Reserve MDR 2012Tasting noteDark, roasty Diamond that's a great daily sipper
62 €Best for: People wanting an affordable first step into dark Guyana rum
Most see a near-unbeatable everyday Guyana sipper: dark chocolate, burnt sugar and tobacco for not much money. The recurring catch is a palate that can feel flat and a shortish finish.
Velier Uitvlugt ULR 1997
Velier Uitvlugt ULR 1997Tasting noteCoconut-and-glue Demerara, light yet complex
1490 €Best for: Demerara fans who love the coconut-and-solvent Savalle profile
Beloved across the board — coconut, glue and caramel with real depth and balance. A handful note a slightly short finish or wish for darker fruit, but nearly everyone rates it among the great Demeraras.
Enmore RA Guyana Rum REV 1994
Enmore RA Guyana Rum REV 1994Tasting noteHeavy, oily Enmore — plums, leather, licorice
Best for: Lovers of dark, woody Demerara and smoky-whisky drinkers
A near-unanimous favorite among Enmore fans: deep, oily, plum-and-leather complexity with the alcohol beautifully tucked in. The only gripes are some bitterness and a few wanting more intensity.
Enmore Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 22 REV 1994
Enmore Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 22 REV 1994Tasting noteDark, oily 27yo Enmore with lavender
899 €Best for: Fans of dark, dry Guyanese wooden-still rum
A REV reference for many — voted RumX's best rum of 2022. Deep, oily and complex with plum, black tea and chocolate. One taster found it dark and a touch flat for his palate.
Velier Diamond <S> 1999
Velier Diamond <S> 1999Tasting noteHeavy, dark licorice-and-leather Demerara
1317 €Best for: Fans of dark, heavy old-style Demerara with licorice and leather
Loved across the board as a deep, oily Demerara full of licorice, leather and dark chocolate. A couple of tasters flag a metallic, medicinal edge, and one called the palate less complex than the nose.
Skeldon El Dorado Rare Collection SWR 2000
Skeldon El Dorado Rare Collection SWR 2000Tasting noteRich, chocolatey tropical Demerara at cask strength
312 €Best for: Demerara fans wanting tropical-aged depth without the Velier price
Loved as a tropical Demerara with chocolate, coffee, caramel and great balance. Most find the high ABV well-hidden. The recurring catch: some want more complexity and a touch more grit.
