In the 1700s Guyana (then comprised of 3 Dutch colonies) was home to 300 distilleries, but as small estates merged with each other, this number fell to around 180 by the second half of the 19th Century.  In 1998 Demerara Distillers Ltd, producer of the El Dorado range of rums, bought up all Guyana's remaining stills and brought them together at Guyana's last remaining sugar estate - the Diamond Estate on the Demerara River.
