An incredible example of why the El Dorado Rum should be considered some of the world's finest. From a famous rum producing nation, Guyana, Demerara Distillers Ltd is the last functioning distillery in this Caribbean jungle nation. Using some of the world's oldest stills, DDL has been able to continue Guyana's legacy of producing the finest rums. Every offering from El Dorado is strikingly different, but the 12 year stands alone in terms of bang for your buck. This is a blend of 4 rums from 4 different types of still and represents the old style Guyana rum. Delicious!

Ed Hamilton, the self-appointed Minister of Rum, is bottling excellent and affordable rum from throughout the Caribbean under his namesake brand. This lovely Demarara is meant to compete with the El Dorado rums from the same distillery, but it doesn't have any sugar added! This should be a go to for any home bartender looking for a workhorse base for most rum drinks and stands up well neat or on the rocks as well.

El Dorado Rum is made by Demerara Distillers Limited in Guyana, South America. It is perhaps the single greatest rum producer on the planet. Having operated since the 1600s, it supplied the British Royal Navy with rum for more than 200 years. The Diamond Estate Distillery still churns out a variety of spirits today. DDL's historic stills were built in the 18th and 19th centuries and are still in operation, producing a number of amazing flavors. The complex and ethereal 21-year uses heavy-bodied rums from the EHP Coffey still (a wooden column built in the 1800s) and from two wooden pot stills, one of which (the Versailles single pot) was built in the 1700s. The result is a nose full of mocha and tobacco with a mineral note behind it all. The palate is like velvet with tropical fruit notes and a rich, leathery finish. It's one of the great rums in the world, and when compared to the price of 21-year single malt, it's one of the best deals as well.

This full-throttle, 151-proof rum is a blend of 85% demerara and 15% Jamaican Pot Still comes from noted rum importer Ed Hamilton. It's his answer to one of his longtime portfolio staples, the Lemon Hart 151 overproof. Burnt amber in color with hugely intense nose (apart from the ethanol). The profile is heavily centered on molasses, maple, and treacle. This is a serious step up from the clear Puerto Rican 151s that most people are familiar with. It's ideal for Tiki cocktails for sure, but with a few drops of water it's well worth the experience of drinking it on its own. It will work equally well in spirit forward cocktails, too.

The story from Mr. Ed Hamilton: "In the twenty years I lived on a yacht sailing the West Indies I really enjoyed drinking some great white rums. Back in the US, I missed that clean, fresh flavor of aged molasses-based rum that had been carbon-filtered to remove the color gained during a few years spent aging in oak barrels in the tropics. In addition to the fresh flavor of the rum there was also a slight coconut note generally attributed to the American oak barrels in which these rums were aged. Like so many things those rums that I enjoyed in the '90s are no longer made. In 2001, Trinidad stopped growing sugar cane commercially but continued to make rum from imported molasses, the end of an era that stretched more than two centuries. To capture those flavors and aroma that are as rare today as the elusive green flash that signaled the end of another day in paradise anchored in the lee of a West Indies island I had to blend several rums from different islands. The bulk of this rum is aged rum from Trinidad to which I blended sugar cane and molasses distillates from Guyana and Santo Domingo, as the windward half of Hispaniola is known in the islands. This high proof blend is carefully diluted with filtered, well water...once diluted to 87 proof, bartenders told me they really didn't want another 80 proof clear rum...if you're still reading this, I want you to know there is nothing in this bottle but rum and filtered, well water. No flavors, sugar, glycerine or anything else."

In 2005, Beach Bum Berry unearthed the original recipe for the famous Tiki Classic, "The Zombie." Nearly a decade and a half later, he and the illustrious Ed Hamilton were sitting at his New Orleans' based establishment and became determined to recreate the blend and bottle it for the people. They spent two years perfecting the concoction designed specifically for those classic tiki drinkers, which are not possible to recreate with one single bottle of rum, until now. This is a blend of light, heavy and overproof rums designed to revive even the most decrepit old drink recipe.

Distilled in 2008 at Guyana’s Diamond Distillery, this 15-year-old rum was drawn from a single cask and bottled at cask strength for Distinctive Spirits’ Fantasy Series II. Diamond is notable for housing historic stills preserved from several former Guyanese sugar estates, continuing the country’s long Demerara rum tradition.

The ideal blended rum for your tropical cocktail needs has arrived - and it tastes great on its own too! The Navy Grog blend combines five different rums from across the Caribbean to create the perfect balance of sweetness, spice, florals, fruit tones, and kick. Sourced from Jamaica, Guyana, and the Dominican Republic, this rum was bottled Navy-strength at 114 proof.

This incredible navy strength rum is a combination of Ed Hamilton's Jamaican pot distillate and Demerea rums at the perfect 57% for all of your rum cocktailing needs. It has the perfect combination of funk, sweetness, and pleasant, weighty texture.

Uitvlugt’s Guyana distillery ceased production in 2000, making this 1997 release a document of its final operating years. Selected by independent bottler Duncan Taylor, the rum spent 24 years aging before being bottled from single barrel #4 at cask strength, preserving its individual barrel identity without reduction to a standard bottling proof.

Kokomo Barrel Finished Rum brings a polished, modern California sensibility to a deeply flavorful Caribbean-style blend. Built from a proprietary combination of 8 and 10 year old Jamaican, Barbadian, and Dominican rums, then finished in hand-selected bourbon barrels, this is designed for richness without losing its island soul. The profile leans into warm vanilla, caramel, stone fruit, gentle oak, and a soft bourbon-barrel sweetness that makes it equally compelling neat, on a big cube, or in a premium rum Old Fashioned. The finish is smooth and lingering, with the darker barrel tones framing rather than overwhelming the rum. Even better, the quality has been recognized on the competition circuit, earning 95 points and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. A serious, versatile finished rum that delivers both craft appeal and broad drinkability.

Kokomo Artisanal White Rum is exactly the kind of white rum that can change minds about the category. Rather than a neutral, stripped-down mixing spirit, this is a characterful blend of demerara cane sugar rum distilled on-site and traditional Jamaican pot still rum, blended and bottled by hand in Southern California. The result is bright, aromatic, and layered, with honey, pineapple, melon, mango, and a subtle tropical funk that brings real personality to Daiquiris, Mojitos, rum punches, and any cocktail where the base spirit actually matters. The texture is clean and refreshing, but there is enough depth here to keep it from disappearing in the glass. The accolades back it up: 97 points and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Finalist for Best in Class White Rum at the Beverage Testing Institute, and voted Best White Rum 2024 by BTI. A polished, high-quality white rum with genuine craft credentials.

You can relish it neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite rum cocktail. Tasting Notes: The entry taste gives an impression of moderate age and medium-level oakiness.

Its circular evolution throughout hits highlights of fruit, spice, vegetation and earthiness, all at the optimum moments so that the final impression is of seamless quality.

From the producer: Jung & Wulff Barbados is an 86-proof, full-bodied, buttery, aged rum that exemplifies its Barbados terroir. Highly acclaimed, it is widely enjoyed in cocktails, neat, or on the rocks. Tasting Notes: Early on the palate is a range of tastes from dark chocolate, to dried fruits, to burnt sugar. Creamy and robust, it is more bittersweet than sweet, deeply cocoa-like and deliciously rich. It is a powerful yet elegant rum true to the character of Barbados.

Bid on this bottle of El Dorado 12 Year Old Demerara Guyana Rum. El Dorado Rum is made by Demerara Distillers Limited in Guyana, South America, which is perhaps the single greatest rum producer on the planet. Having operated since the 1600s, it supplied the British Royal Navy with rum for more than 200 years, and the Diamond Estate Distillery still churns out a variety of spirits today. DDL's historic stills, built in the 18th and 19th centuries, are still in operation and produce a number of amazing flavors. The deliciously supple 12-year-old uses medium-bodied rums from the Savalle still (a very unique column still that tends to producer spirits with fruity aromas) and blends them together with Coffey still and pot still rums aged in used American oak. The result is a soft and rich flavor, with decadent caramel and molasses that is never cloying or overly sweet. It's one of the best rums in the world and, for the price, it might be the best deal in all of spirits.
