Distillery Information

Diamond Distillery, located on the Demerara River in Guyana, is important in the rum world. It is the last distillery in a country once full of sugar estates and distilleries. The distillery keeps over 300 years of Guyanese rum-making history. This tradition is rich in history and the tropical land of the region. The distillery is part of Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL). They produce the famous El Dorado rum. Diamond Distillery is not just about making rum. It is about preserving history. In the 20th century, it brought together various stills from across Guyana. Each still has its own story and features. The distillery has unique stills. These include the 18th-century Port Mourant double wooden pot still and the Versailles single wooden pot still. They give the rums a depth and complexity that modern stills can’t match. The Enmore wooden Coffey still is another old piece. It adds a distinct taste to the spirit. These stills make the distillery’s rum unique. The distillery is known for its Demerara rum. It uses molasses from local sugar cane. The Demerara region is known for high-quality sugar cane. This leads to a fuller, tastier rum. The ageing process also makes the rum special. Guyana’s tropical climate speeds up the ageing in oak barrels. This makes the rum rich, smooth, and flavourful.
