El Dorado

The name " El Dorado " comes from the legend of the golden city of Manoa in the Rupununi region, which was ruled by a golden king and which brought the early explorers to Guyana in search of infinite wealth.

Today the true gold of Guyana rests in the storage tanks of the famous Demerara Distilleries. With the fascinating rum branded " El Dorado " the country of Guyana - by the way, the name means " land of many waters " - became famous in the world as a producer of highest quality rums. The lush vegetation and the tropical climate in this country is primarily responsible for the unique aroma and special flavor of El Dorado Rum.
