Twenty-One Years of Demerara Mastery.
El Dorado 21 Year Old Special Reserve is the crown jewel of the El Dorado rum portfolio — a rare, ultra-premium expression from the legendary Diamond Distillery in Guyana, home to some of the world's most historic and unique pot stills. Aged for 21 years in the humid Demerara heat, this rum achieves a velvety smoothness from the French Savalle Still, while the Versailles Single Wooden Pot Still imparts distinctive cognac-type notes that give it a finish that is nutty, smoky, and utterly unforgettable.

- Finish: Exceptionally long, nutty, and smoky with a warm, lingering Demerara sweetness
