About Pepsi (Guyana)
Demerara Distillers has bottled Pepsi in Guyana under licence from PepsiCo since 1994, and the company treats that franchise as the moment it stopped being a commodity rum business and became a branded one. It also bottles Seven-Up and the fruit-flavoured Slice range, in orange and red grape, under the same arrangement. None of those names belong to Demerara Distillers: its 2025 annual report calls the company the bottler for them, not their owner.
