A Historical Treasure of Guyana

Rum El Dorado Rare Collection Skeldon 2000 SWR is a rare gem that celebrates the tradition and craftsmanship of Demerara Distillers in Guyana.
This exclusive rum is part of the renowned Rare Collection and is a fascinating connection to the historic Skeldon Sugar Estate. History and Context:

• Historical Origin: The SWR mark is associated with the historic Skeldon Sugar Estate, where rum was produced using the Blair continuous still.
  After Skeldon Distillery closed in 1960, production of the SWR mark was successfully replicated at the Uitvlught distillery using a Savalle continuous column.
  Later, the column was transferred to Diamond Distillery.
• Background of Demerara Distillers: After World War II, Guyana saw the closure of many distilleries.
  Demerara Distillers remained as the only one operating and kept the stills from the closed distilleries, a forward-looking move by legendary Chairman Yesu Persaud.
  This decision made it possible to continue the production of traditional Guyanese rums.
