{"type"=>"root", "children"=>[{"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Guyana once held over three hundred sugar estates, each with its own still and its own character.

Diamond kept not just the business but the equipment, wooden stills carried off long-closed estates and set running again.

Much of the world's mass-market Caribbean rum is their unbranded juice. El Dorado is what they bottle when they want to show what the source can actually do."}]}]}
How it tastes

The nose is tropical fruit, honey, dark sugar, a faint marzipan. The palate is round and full: rich fruit, treacle, vanilla, walnut, with the Demerara character carrying through, a coffee-like richness that never turns sharp. The finish is elegant and dry, long enough to make the second pour feel inevitable.
