EL DORADO
50th ANNIVERSARY
GRAND SPECIAL RESERVE
This 50th Anniversary Special Edition is a blend of specially selected rums aged in oak casks for up to half a century, imbuing each drop with rich complexity. Its flavours are augmented by almost equally old fine rums in the style of the historic Albion, Skeldon and La Bonne Intention Estates, a salute to the versatility of our vintage French Savelle Stills.
Finished with a soupcon of aged pot stills rums surviving from our heritage Double Wooden Pot and a since discontinued John Dore copper kettle. It’s special release marks Guyana’s Golden Anniversary - a toast to 50 years of independent nationhood. Six hundred bottles were produced.
Tasting Notes
This rum is full bodied and complex with notes of coffee, bittersweet dark chocolate and a hint of orange peel.

SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY
LIMITED EDITION
Quite like Dr. Yesu Persaud, the Special Anniversary Edition rum – made to celebrate his 90th birthday - is an embodiment of the indomitable ‘Diamond Estate’ spirit, and brings together centuries of artisanship from the Stills originally situated at the Diamond Distillery; the Copper Coffey Stills, the Tri-Canada Re-distillation Still and the High Ester Copper Pot Still.
The bright medley of honey, almond, orange and banana aromas that evolve from these metal Stills are enriched by the Double and Single Wooden Pot Stills. Ninety bottles were produced.
Tasting Notes
A lingering aftertaste of licorice and dark chocolate that follow the slight pucker of green apples, and the rich notes of dried fruits and caramelised figs that lead on the palate.

The flavours continue where the aromas left off, with smoke, charred wood, tobacco, peat, mild licorice and again the fruity molasses. The body is medium-heavy, with a slight alcohol taste for delivering the flavours with a finish of charred wood and mild licorice.
VERSAILLES 2002

Tasting Notes
Slightly briny and nutty notes along with sweet aromatic notes of honey and caramel, and spices like vanilla, cinnamon and liquorice. Sweet and savoury notes are nicely balanced, like salted toffee, with familiar notes of oak, dried fruit like apricots, and nuts, like hazelnut and almonds.

MASTER BLENDER’S
LIMITED EDITION
This El Dorado Master Blender’s Special Edition is a blend of three rums, specially selected by our Master Blender from our Enmore Wooden Coffey Still, Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still and our French Savelle Still. These rums were laid down in oak barrels for 10 years to produce a full bodied, well balanced sipper.
Tasting Notes
This blend offers lively expressions of baked apples that delightfully transcends into an interplay of subtle spices and oaky notes.
