What constitutes a "demerara" rum? Is it regional?

Does anyone know what happened to Hudson's Bay distilleries? Did anyone take over their operations and are their rums now produced under a new label?

Thanks for any insight on the above.

A Demerara rum is produced in Guyana, using sugar cane that comes from the area near the Demerara river in Guyana, with the casks and rum sometimes aged out of the country. It has a somewhat unusual pot still distillation process which separates it a bit from regular industrial rum or french style rhum agricole.

The major producers are Demerara Distillers (El Dorado), Cadenhead and Port Morant.
