The story of Demerara Distillers began in 1670 when each sugar estate still had its rum, and a group of sugar cane producers formed an export cooperative.  This first production of rum for sailors was the beginning of today's society.

 In the 17th and 18th centuries, there were over 200 small distilleries operating in Guyana, each with its special blend of rum and its independent plantations.  Over the years, however, the only distillery that has managed to override the competition and remain standing is the Plantation Diamond, entirely managed by Demerara Distillers Limited.

 Demerara Distillers is an internationally recognized manufacturer, with a range of over 20 different varieties of premium, standard and special products, all with the distinctive Demerara stamp, synonymous with quality and tradition.

 Here, the standards and production methods of this ancient company have been maintained.  The stills and equipment of the past are still working and supported by technologies in step with the times, in order to ensure an excellent and complete product in all its aspects.
