El Dorado 3 Year Old is a white Demerara rum from Demerara Distillers in Guyana, bottled at 40% ABV.
It is laid down in oak barrels for at least three years.
It is then double filtered through natural charcoal to remove the colour, resulting in a spirit that is incredibly smooth and versatile.
The citrus and vanilla nose is enhanced by notes of chocolate and raisins, followed by a smooth, rounded palate with coconut, fruity and dry.
Balanced yet full-flavoured, it is a bartender's choice for elevating classic rum cocktails.
Aged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.

How to Enjoy It
El Dorado 3 is perfect for mixing: shake a classic Daiquiri with fresh lime and simple syrup, muddle a Mojito with mint and soda, or build a Piña Colada with pineapple and coconut cream. It also makes a crisp Rum and Tonic or Cuba Libre. Its aged character means it is pleasant over ice with a twist of lime. Pair it with jerk chicken, grilled fish, coconut shrimp and tropical fruit. For a party, batch a punch with El Dorado 3, pineapple and lime juices and a dash of bitters. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
