Dos Maderas Atlantic (70cl, 37.5%)

Dos Maderas Atlantic is a blended rum from Barbados and Guyana, bottled at 37.5% in a 70cl bottle. The rums mature for five years in former bourbon casks before a further year in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks in Jerez de la Frontera, giving six years in total. Vanilla, toasted oak, dried fruit, honey, caramelised fruit and cocoa bean notes are joined by caramel, roasted nuts and spices. It can be enjoyed neat, over ice or in cocktails. On the nose there are pastry notes with oak, spice, vanilla, honey and caramel, plus roasted nuts. The palate is soft and silky, with oak, spice, vanilla, honey, caramel and roasted nuts. The finish leaves a subtle raisin note from the Pedro Ximénez sherry cask maturation.
