The Demerara distillery in Guyana has been deeply embedded in the history of
sugar and rum production since the 17th century. It is known worldwide for the
Wooden Pot Still process and the resulting high-quality rums.

A particular highlight is the rum distilled in 2005 from the rare Versailles
Single Wooden Pot Still, the last of its kind in operation in the world. After
the distillation process, the rum initially matured for eight years in American
ex-bourbon barrels before receiving a special cask finish for a further eight
years in French oak barrels that previously held white port wine.



The careful selection and storage ensure a complex and unmistakable taste
experience that impressively reflects the long tradition and expertise of the
Demerara distillery.
