El Dorado 12 Years Rum 700 ml

Product Information

In November 1739, Nicholas Horstman, a German surgeon commissioned by the Dutch Governor of Guiana, traveled up the Essequibo River accompanied by two Dutch soldiers and four Indian guides. In April 1741 one of the Indian guides returned reporting that in 1740 Horstman had crossed over to the Rio Branco and descended it to its confluence with the Rio Negro. Horstman discovered Lake Amucu on the North Rupununi but found neither gold nor any evidence of a city. [39] I applaud them for heading into the right direction: both new rums are fantastic value, and miles better than their ancestors. The 12 year old, for me, is a perfect starter rum that I will forgive its low adulteration. The 15 year old is a new staple for readily available and low-priced Guyanese rum. I personally would wish for some more ABV, but ithe 15 year old has literally no competition at the moment.

But, before anyone suggests I am dissing down on white rum I’m not. There will be a review coming soon which shows just how good a white rum can be. Rivière, Peter (2006).

Okay onto the actual rum. The first thing I notice about the rum is that as soon as the cork is popped it exhibits that El Dorado smell. Inspite of the numerous other rums which use DDL rums as their base or entire blend, nothing smells quite like an El Dorado rum. Sweet, almost flowery but very difficult to place, with light whifts of brown sugar. A later more industrious attempt was made in 1580, by Bogotá business entrepreneur Antonio de Sepúlveda. A notch was cut deep into the rim of the lake, which managed to reduce the water level by 20 metres, before collapsing and killing many of the labourers. A share of the findings—consisting of various golden ornaments, jewellery and armour—was sent to King Philip II of Spain. Sepúlveda's discovery came to approximately 12,000 pesos. He died a poor man, and is buried at the church in the small town of Guatavita. Hemming, John; Bowles, Steve; Watson, Fiona (1988). "Maracá Rainforest Project Brazil 1987-1988" (PDF).

Awards for El Dorado 12

So how will the El Dorado work as a mixer? I’ll shake things up a little here for my review and rather than mix with cola we’ll try a little lemonade. It’s fair to say that comparing the El Dorado and the Lemon Hart side by side is quite difficult once you have mixed them. The taste is very similar. The Lemon Hart is slightly sweeter and slightly rougher in terms of the young alcohol mouth feel. The El Dorado is more muted in terms of flavour but is a smoother and slightly easier spirit to drink. With cola it is much the same story both hold their own and make a pleasant mixed drink. Nothing is really floating my boat though. Bandelier, A. F. A. (1893). The Gilded Man, El Dorado. New York. {{ cite book}}: CS1 maint: location missing publisher ( link) Tento rum se vyrábí z vysoce kvalitní melasy, získané při výrobě hnědého cukru demeraru (který je znám také v našich končinách).

In 1535, Sebastian de Benalcazar, a lieutenant of Francisco Pizarro, interrogated an Indian that had been captured at Quito. Luis Daza recorded that the Indian was a warrior while Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas wrote that the Indian was an ambassador who had come to request military assistance from the Inca, unaware that they had already been conquered. The Indian told Benalcazar that he was from a kingdom of riches known as Cundinamarca far to the north where a zipa, or chief, covered himself in gold dust during ceremonies. [14] Benalcazar set out to find the chief, reportedly saying "Lets go find that golden Indian!" ( Spanish: ¡Vámos a buscar a este indio dorado!), [15] eventually the chief became known to the Spaniards as El Dorado. [16] Benalcazar failed however to find El Dorado and eventually joined up with Federmann and Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada and returned to Spain. [16] It has been speculated that the land of wealth spoken of by the Indian was Arma, a kingdom whose inhabitants wore gold ornaments, which was eventually conquered by Pedro Cieza de Leon.

The canoa [sic] was carried down the stream, and certain of the Guianians met it the same evening; and, having not at any time seen any Christian nor any man of that colour, they carried Martinez into the land to be wondered at, and so from town to town, until he came to the great city of Manoa, the seat and residence of Inga the emperor. The emperor, after he had beheld him, knew him to be a Christian, and caused him to be lodged in his palace, and well entertained. He was brought thither all the way blindfold, led by the Indians, until he came to the entrance of Manoa itself, and was fourteen or fifteen days in the passage. He avowed at his death that he entered the city at noon, and then they uncovered his face; and that he traveled all that day till night through the city, and the next day from sun rising to sun setting, ere he came to the palace of Inga. After that Martinez had lived seven months in Manoa, and began to understand the language of the country, Inga asked him whether he desired to return into his own country, or would willingly abide with him. But Martinez, not desirous to stay, obtained the favour of Inga to depart. [7] Spanish conquistadores had noticed the native people's fine artifacts of gold and silver long before any legend of "golden men" or "lost cities" had appeared. The prevalence of such valuable artifacts, and the natives' apparent ignorance of their value, inspired speculation as to a plentiful source for them. [ citation needed] Between 1799 and 1804, Alexander von Humboldt conducted an extensive and scientific survey of the Guyana river basins and lakes, concluding that a seasonally-flooded confluence of rivers may be what inspired the notion of a mythical Lake Parime, and of the supposed golden city on the shore, nothing was found. [1] Further exploration by Charles Waterton (1812) [41] and Robert Schomburgk (1840) [42] confirmed Humboldt's findings. Significant gold deposits in Roraima Basin – study". Stabroek News.

El Dorado ( Spanish: [el doˈɾaðo], English: / ˌ ɛ l d ə ˈ r ɑː d oʊ/; Spanish for "the golden") is commonly associated with the legend of a gold city, kingdom, or empire purportedly located somewhere in the Americas. Originally, El Hombre Dorado ("The Golden Man") or El Rey Dorado ("The Golden King"), was the term used by the Spanish in the 16th century to describe a mythical tribal chief ( zipa) or king of the Muisca people, an indigenous people of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense of Colombia, who as an initiation rite, covered himself with gold dust and submerged in Lake Guatavita.While the existence of a sacred lake in the Eastern Ranges of the Andes, associated with Indian rituals involving gold, was known to the Spaniards possibly as early as 1531, its location was only discovered in 1537 by conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada while on an expedition to the highlands of the Eastern Ranges of the Andes in search of gold.
