Rum

Situated along the northern coast of South America, Guyana was colonized by the Netherlands in the early 17th century. Much like other European countries at the time, the Dutch used their settlements tropical climate Guyana enjoys an average temperature of up to 89.6 F and up to 137.8 inches of rain annually as a source of raw, fresh ingredients that were unable to be harvested on the European continent.In 1658, Guyana began exporting sugar back to the Netherlands and within a decade, farmers along the Demerara River began distilling their excess cane sugar into rum. By the turn of the century, the tiny Caribbean country had over 300 unique distilleries. Today, Demerara Distillers Co. the last remaining rum distillery in the country pays homage to Guyanas rich tradition of distilling fine rum. El Dorado Rum is made from fresh, raw sugar cane cultivated in Guyanas rich, alluvial soil. After the sugar cane has been harvested by hand, it is transported back to Demerara Distillery by barge. There, the molasses is fermented with a proprietary strain of yeast specifically designed to control the Brix of the wash (Brix is the measure of dissolved solids in a solution). Following fermentation, the rum is distilled through Demerara Distillers antique Enmore wooden Coffey and copper stills (the stills, which are up two centuries old, were used when the country was still a settlement).El Dorado Reserve marks the turn of the millenium. This very limited edition 25YO rum is an exquisite spirit with a smooth character that resembles that of a finely aged cognac. The warm tropical climate of Demerara quickens the maturation process, essentially yielding a spirit with a character far beyond its years. El Dorado 25 Year Old has decadent soft notes of caramel and rich fruit cake, making it a fantastic digestif.Pick up your bottle today!

Paul Pacults Spirit Journal, which also named it one of the top ten spirits of the year. In addition, El Dorado 8 Year Old was named the second best rum at the Imbibe Magazine tasting competition in London.Get your bottle of El Dorado now!

Far North Spirits is located on Swanson Farms, a working family farm set on 1,500 acres of Red River Valley jet-black soil in the northwest corner of Minnesota. Great Grandpa Gustav arrived in Minnesota back in 1917, and the land has been farmed by Swansons ever since by his son Albert and Alberts son Charles. Now Michael, the fourth generation farmer in the family, plans to make Far North Spirits a large part of the farms next 100 years.

The history of Foursquare Rums begins in 1926, when the Seale family began sourcing rum from Barbados distilleries, blending and bottling them.

The Foursquare Rum Distillery was opened in 1996 on a former sugar plantation on the Caribbean island of Barbados by R. L. Seale and Company Limited, which was established in 1926 by Reginald Leon Seale. The distilling operations are now run by his great grandson Richard Seale, who joined the family business in 1993 and has been working tirelessly on bringing innovation to the 300-year-old process of fermentation and distillation of sugar cane by-products. The Caribbean is the birthplace of the modern rum, and Barbados produces some of the finest rums in the world. When building the Foursquare distillery in mid-1990s, Richard asked the best engineers to help develop his new ideas, and they designed a modern, computerized distillery. While insisting on producing traditionally distilled pure rum with passion and a no-nonsense approach, Richard does not shy away from upgrading tradition with modern methods. On his mission to earn rum the place it deserves, he has also pushed for a geographical indication (GI) for Barbados rum. He was described as a questioning, opinionated Barbadian, who is leading rum into the 21st century by the spirits expert Dave Broom. The Foursquare Rum Distillery found its niche in creating high-end rums, and Richards quest to make worlds best rums has earned the distillery several consecutive Rum Producer of the Year titles in prestigious international competitions such as the International Spirits Challenge. Foursquare Sagacity is part of the distillerys popular Exceptional Cask Selection series. It is a blend of two 12-year single blended molasses-based rums (pot and column distilled), one aged entirely in ex-Bourbon barrels, and the other in ex-Madeira barrels. It is bottled at 48 percent ABV (96 proof), without adding color, sugar or other additives, and without filtration. This expression was awarded a Double Gold in the 2020 International Spirits Challenge. Pick up a bottle today!
