Dos Maderas Double Aged 5+3 is a unique and complex rum that undergoes a meticulous double aging process. This exceptional rum is crafted from a blend of aged rums sourced from Guyana and Barbados, where it matures for 5 years in the tropical climate in American oak barrels. After this initial aging, the rum is carefully transported to Williams & Humbert in Spain for further blending and aging.
Once in Spain, the rum undergoes an additional maturation of 3 years in ex-sherry casks, specifically "Palo Cortado" casks, a rare variety of sherry known for its unique sweetness and depth. This double aging process results in a rum with a seductive, soft, and full-bodied character, offering a wonderful balance of flavors, including white wood, vanilla, tobacco, caramel, dried apricots, and a ripe fruit reduction. The aroma is marked by toasted notes, vanilla, fruit peel, and a smooth and elegant finish.
Dos Maderas Double Aged 5+3 truly stands out with its traditional English rum base, and the final aging takes place in the historic Williams & Humbert bodegas in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Here, it is aged in barrels that previously held a 20-year-old sherry wine, resulting in a rum that is unlike any other in the world.
The rum undergoes a double aging process: 5 years in the Caribbean in American oak barrels, and an additional 3 years in "Palo Cortado" sherry casks in Spain.
The blend of rums is sourced from Guyana and Barbados, and the final aging process is completed at Williams & Humbert in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
This rum offers a complex flavor profile with notes of vanilla, oak, sherry, fruits, sweetness, and a hint of tobacco and caramel.
While both rums undergo a similar double aging process, the 5+5 is aged longer and is generally considered more complex and superior by some reviewers. However, the 5+3 offers a well-balanced and elegant profile in its own right.
Opinions on Dos Maderas Double Aged 5+3 are mixed. While some appreciate its unique character and find it quite good, noting its pleasant oak finish and balanced sweetness, others feel it lacks the complexity of the 5+5. Some reviewers recommend trying the 5+5 for a richer experience, and a few suggest that the 5+3 could benefit from additional time in sherry casks. Overall, it is considered a decent rum, especially suitable for those who enjoy a milder, softly spoken profile.
