The El Dorado brand was created by Demerara Distillers in 1992 with the launch of a 15 year old. The company wanted to created its own brand after the rum industry was nationalized by Guyana’s government in 1975. The first editions contained rum from Enmore, Uitvlugt and Diamond, but today everything is produced at Diamond, the last distillery still operating in the country since 2000. The El Dorado brand is now found in rums produced with various stills at Diamond, including the famous Heritage Stills Uitvlugt, Enmore, Port Mourant and Versailles.

An old edition of El Dorado 12 Year Old released by Demerara Distillers Limited in the 1990s. It is a blend of Enmore (mark EHP), a wooden Coffey still, Uitvlugt (mark ICBU), a four-column Savalle still, and Port Mourant (PM), a wooden double still.
