THE BRAND

Enmore Sugar Estate was founded by Edward Henry Potter in the early 19th century after inheriting and converting his father’s cotton plantation. Situated on the east bank of the Demerara river, the mark EHP was originally used to identify rums from the distillery annexed to the factory. His orginal still, the two column wooden coffey still, dates back to 1880. After the Guyana’s government decision to close most of the distilleries and nationalise the rum production in 1974, it was one of only four still active, receiving also the single wooden pot still from the Versailles distillery after his closure in 1978.

Enmore was shutterd in 1994 and its stills transferred to Diamond Distillery.

THE BOTTLER

Silver Seal was founded by Ernesto Rino Mainardi in 2000, also owner of Sestante, well-known Italian indie bottler, who bottled his first whisky in 1985 and many others become legendary over the years. Max Righi, owner of whisky antique and one of the leading italian experts in the industry, bought both companies in 2010 and since then, also many outstanding rums were bottled.
