Guyana

Guyanese rum is especially known for Demerara rum, a very special rum style named after the Demerara River, and which is most often distilled in either pot stills or column stills (it can also be "both"). Far back in time, there were over a hundred distilleries in Guyana, but today there is only one distillery left: DDL (Demerara Distillers Ltd). At DDL, you'll find some of the oldest and most legendary stills in the world: the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still, the Versailles Single Wooden Pot Still, and the Enmore Wooden Column Still. The most famous Guyanese rum is undoubtedly El Dorado Rum, which is DDL's own brand, and furthermore, Guyanese rum can be found from various independent bottlers. Guyana is located on the South American north coast, bordering Venezuela to the west and Brazil to the south.
