Dos Maderas Double Aged Rum 5+3 750ml

INFO This amber rum has elegant aromas of rich pecan, vanilla and a touch of smoky oak. Ripe fruit follows on the balanced palate, elevated by vibrant tropical spice and layered with a touch of smokiness, hints of sherry, and an intriguing note of tobacco on the finish. 80 Proof 40% ABV How to serve With its beautifully balanced notes of fruit and spice, this is a highly versatile rum for mixing in cocktails, but is just as enjoyable neat or on the rocks. THE DISTILLERY Un Espíritu Dos Culturas: One Spirit Two Cultures Dos Maderas not only combines the best of two aging methods on opposite sides of the globe, but also brings two cultures together. On the one hand is the rum producing heritage of Barbados and Guyana in the Caribbean, and on the other is the rich sherry tradition of Jerez in Spain, and specifically that of the historical bodega Williams & Humbert. Awarded with the National Architecture Prize, Williams & Humbert is the largest Bodega in Europe under a single roof and contains over 60,000 American oak casks for aging sherry and brandy. This sherry bodega was founded in 1877, and is now run by the Medina family, who have been in the wine business since the 1960s. Williams & Humbert are internationally known for their Dry Sack Sherry and Gran Duque D’Alba, but in the 2000s the family decided to diversify. Like all of their other products, the new rum they envisioned would be something special. “We wanted to create something of exceptional quality, that was very different” International marketing manager Gonzalo Medina says: “So we decided to start with rum from the Caribbean. You can find rum elsewhere, but there’s a romance and history of rum production in the Caribbean.”
