Demerara Distillers

Guyana


This is where Guyana's most famous export, its exceptional Eldorado Rum, was originally made in 1670. It is no longer made here, but the site is now open as an excellent museum. One-hour tours take you through the distillery (where you'll see the last operating wooden Coffey still in the world), warehouse, heritage center and gift shop.
