Dos Maderas PX 5+5 Year Old 

700ml BOTTLE

The Rum Dos Maderas PX 5 + 5 Year Old is a distillate of the Dos Maderas brand that has a complex structure, notable already in its project. The historic Williams & Humbert company wanted to create Caribbean spirits that had their own style, carefully choosing exceptional molasses rums from different places such as Guyana and Barbados. Barbados was chosen for the purity of its water, while the Republic of Guyana was chosen for its particular hot-humid climate.

Once assembled, these molasses rums are transferred to barrels to let them mature for 5 years, then, once the chosen time has passed, they are literally moved to continue their aging in the cellar's headquarters, in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. This amazing rum is aged using the Solera Method for 3 years in American oak barrels ex sherry Palo Cortado and then for another 2 years European oak barrels ex sherry Pedro Ximenez. Both of these special fortified wines have aged in the barrels for no less than 20 years before being bottled, so these oak barrels have acquired even more of a sublime aromatic texture.

Absolutely limited and sought after, these barrels are jealously guarded by the Medina family who, inserted in their corporate architectural complex, make the atmosphere of the aging of the distillates unique and linked to the territory. Once the aging period is over, the Master Blender proceeds to quality control by tapping the fruit of this passion from the lowest row of the Solera Method. Dos Maderas PX 5+5 Year Old rum is structurally refined, fragrant, with an explosion of aromas ranging from very ripe fruit to the woody notes of oak, almost as if to perceive a smoky hint of tobacco.

TASTE: A very balanced body, a long finish with light notes of toasted oak, present memories of Sherry. Very soft.

AGING: American oak barrels ex Palo Cortado sherry and European oak barrels ex Pedro Ximenez sherry.
