The winner: El Dorado-12 Yr
El Dorado 12 is the smarter buy for most drinkers: it scores above the RumX median at a fraction of the price. The Single Still Enmore rates a bit higher but costs two to three times as much, a premium its small ratings sample doesn't clearly earn.
Two Demerara rums, one shared distillery
Both bottles come from Demerara Distillers Limited in Guyana, home to the last working wooden Coffey stills on earth. El Dorado 12 is a blend pulled across DDL's whole still fleet (wooden and metal Coffey plus pot stills), aged in ex-bourbon barrels. The Single Still Enmore isolates rum from just one still, the historic wooden EHP still at the old Enmore Estate, a niche release built for drinkers who want to taste a single still in isolation rather than a polished blend.
