About Three Counties
Three Counties is Demerara Distillers' preserves brand, named for Berbice, Demerara and Essequibo, the three counties of Guyana, and made with fresh fruit grown in them. It covers jams and jellies and a dried fruit mix sold for making traditional Caribbean black cake, the rum-soaked Christmas cake of the region — a product with a very short and very intense selling season.

About the owner: Demerara Distillers
Demerara Distillers is a publicly listed company headquartered in Georgetown, Guyana, founded in 1952. Brandtree records 13 brands under its control, and it is listed as GASCI: DDL.
Demerara Distillers owns and operates the Diamond Distillery at Plantation Diamond on the East Bank of Demerara, the last distillery left in Guyana, and with it the wooden and metal stills carried over from estates that closed decades ago. It was incorporated on 17 November 1952 as Guyana Distilleries Limited and took its present name in 1983 on merging with Diamond Liquors Limited. It is the largest supplier of bulk rum and alcohol from the Caribbean to brand owners in Europe and North America, and from 1991 onwards deliberately turned itself from a commodity business into a branded one — first by using the carbon dioxide from distillation to enter soft drinks, then by launching El Dorado in 1992. It also runs distribution, shipping and technical services subsidiaries in Guyana and distribution companies in St Kitts, the United States and the Netherlands.
