Rum Dos Maderas 5+5 (copia)

After 5 years of aging in the Caribbean and another 3 in our Jerez facilities in casks that previously held Dos Cortados, “Dos Maderas 5+3” enters a third and final aging phase in casks that were previously used for aging Don Guido, a Pedro Ximénez of more than 20 years, to create the extraordinary Dos Maderas 5+5.

Old age: Minimum average of 8 years
Alcohol content: 40% Vol

Tasting note

With a dark amber color, this fascinating rum initially presents notes of fig and dried grape that give way to rich and ripe fruit on the palate. All of this is enhanced by tropical spices and wrapped in sherry wine notes, with hints of smoked oak and a touch of tobacco leaf.

Serving Suggestions

The additional aging time in Pedro Ximénez casks gives this rum an intense and sweet character that is best appreciated when served neat, and pairs perfectly with cigars and chocolate. This same character also makes it ideal for classic rum cocktails.

Supplementary information

Production: The journey of Dos Maderas begins in the tropical climates of Barbados and Guyana. Once harvested between February and June, it ferments for two days. Traditional rum producers distill the fermented molasses, using different methods and types of distillers. Then, thanks to the climate of the area, the first aging of Dos Maderas takes place, with these spirits resting for five years in 220-liter oak barrels previously used for bourbon aging. After five years of aging in the Caribbean climate, these are already exceptional rums in their own right. However, a crucial part in the production of Dos Maderas is the selection and blending of rums from these two very different producing countries to create a spirit with the perfect characteristics to undergo aging in wine barrels in Jerez. The unique Jerez method of Criaderas and Solera transforms the spirit; the climate of Jerez and the different wine casks used contribute to the flavor of the final product.

The Brand: Dos Maderas not only combines the best of two aging methods used in very distant corners, but also unites two cultures. On one hand, we have the rum heritage of Barbados and Guyana in the Caribbean, and on the other, the rich wine tradition of Jerez in Spain.
