Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) launches a limited-edition El Dorado rum to mark Guyana’s 60th Independence Anniversary, according to reports from iNews Guyana and the Guyana Chronicle. The launch features the “El Dorado 60th Anniversary Special Reserve” branding and is presented as a celebration of Guyana’s heritage and the El Dorado brand’s global recognition. Prime Minister Brigadier (Retired) Mark Phillips delivers remarks at the event. He emphasizes the connection between Guyana’s sugar industry and rum production, saying the country cannot continue making world-class rum without sustaining sugar output. Both outlets frame the release as part of broader recognition of Guyana’s rise and excellence, with the Guyana Chronicle noting Phillips’s view that the El Dorado brand showcases Guyana to international audiences. While the articles focus on the significance of the launch and Phillips’s comments, they provide limited additional details about distribution, pricing, or production quantities.
