Dos Maderas Double Aged 5 + 3 Rum (75cl)

A molasses-based rum distilled in Guyana and Barbados, then finished at Bodegas Williams & Humbert in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. It is first aged five years in the Caribbean in American oak ex-bourbon casks, then shipped to Spain for a further three years in sherry casks. That double maturation across two continents defines the brand: five years of tropical ageing build the rum's deep base before three more years in casks that previously held fortified wine. The importer's label copy gives pecan, vanilla and smoky oak on the nose; ripe fruit and tropical spice on the palate; and a finish of smoky oak and tobacco laced with hints of sherry.
