I haven't had that many Guyanas from 2004 so far, which is why a comparison is a little difficult. Overall, however, a really good bottling. Pencil, aniseed but more in the foreground, just on the edge. Alcohol is well integrated

Demerara Distillers Ltd 

Avg Rating 7.8/10 over 250 Rums

Demerara Distillers is the company that ended up holding everything. As Guyana's only surviving rum maker, its Diamond plant runs the world's last wooden pot stills and the last wooden Coffey still alongside modern columns, draws 24 different marks from them, and blends them into El Dorado. It is also the reason most Demerara on the shelf comes from one address.
