El Dorado 2010 Port Mourant Uitvlugt 2010 51% offers a unique glimpse into the rich history and craftsmanship of Demerara Distillers, one of the most renowned distilleries situated in the lush landscapes of Guyana. This rare blend of vintage rums demonstrates the distillery's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality and authenticity.
The 2010 vintage of this El Dorado rum showcases a harmonious combination of rums from two famed stills, Port Mourant and Uitvlugt, both of which contribute a distinctive character and depth to the final spirit. Known for its robust and flavorful profile, Port Mourant is one of the oldest operating wood column stills in the world, giving this rum a hint of historical significance. Uitvlugt, on the other hand, lends a lighter, more aromatic flair, resulting in a balanced and complex blend. This particular year's production involved careful distillation at the renowned Diamond Distillery, the current home of Demerara Distillers.
The rum’s foundation is molasses, derived from Guyanese cane sugar, a key ingredient that provides the deep, sweet base that rum enthusiasts treasure. Aging in a tropical climate significantly impacts the maturation process, offering a faster aging period and an increased rate of flavor development due to the intense heat and humidity. This environmental influence ensures that each bottle of El Dorado 2010 Port Mourant Uitvlugt encapsulates the essence of its equatorial origin.
Presented at a strong 51% ABV, this expression packs a punch while maintaining its elegant structure and multifaceted flavors. The spirit’s proof is perfect for highlighting the intricate nuances of the woods’ contribution during the aging process as well as the natural flavors of the distilled molasses. Each bottle is sized at 70 cl, ideal for connoisseurs interested in a substantial tasting experience.

Located on the banks of the Demerara River, they have been instrumental in preserving the method of traditional rum production while continuously innovating to meet contemporary tastes. Their expertise and commitment are evident in every sip of their meticulously crafted products.
This bottling is not just a drink, but a narrative of heritage, a testament to the enduring legacy of Guyanese rum. Its rich, dark color and viscous texture beckon the sampler to a world of expansive flavor profiles including oak, spice, dried fruits, and a hint of toffee—all interwoven with the freshness and vitality typical of tropical rums.
Ultimately, the El Dorado 2010 Port Mourant Uitvlugt is suited for those who appreciate the depth and history that a well-crafted rum can represent.
