The Story of the Versailles Still

The Versailles still was built in 1890 at Plantation Versailles, largely from greenheart wood, found almost only in Guyana. It moved to the Enmore and Uitvlugt estates before settling at Diamond Distillery, where Demerara Distillers Limited still operates it. Following the tradition of the Versailles (REV) marque, the rum is colored with caramel before going into barrel.
