The Dos Maderas Seleccion is a unique and skillful blend of rum crafted by Bodegas Williams & Humbert, combining the best of multiple countries' rums. This rich and sweet rum is a blend of the rums used in Dos Maderas 5+5 PX and Luxus varieties, aged for 10 years and boasting a 42% ABV.
On the nose, it offers a full-bodied aroma of copper, caramelized molasses, and a mineral character reminiscent of coal and flint, with a hint of gunpowder that pays homage to the British Navy's Caribbean adventures. The aeration reveals oxidized black fruits such as plum and prune. In the mouth, the attack is soft and round, evolving into a pronounced taste of Sherry-like fruit, giving it a chewy texture that sets it apart from other sweet rums. The finish is long and semi-sweet, with notes of Andalusian wine, nuts, wood, tannin, and bitterness.
This rum is a blend of Dos Maderas 5+5 (aged for a total of 10 years, 5 in a tropical climate and 5 in Andalusia in sherry casks), and rums from Barbados and Guyana aged for 10 years in bourbon casks. The result is a harmonious and enjoyable sipping experience, with a rich combination of sweet caramel, vanilla, sherry, and oak flavors, and a well-rounded and satisfying finish.

Opinions on Dos Maderas Seleccion vary. Some find it overly sweet, noting that the sweetness dominates too much compared to the Dos Maderas 5+5. The nose is described as smoky sherry with barrel notes, while the palate is sweet, with a bit of dryness, fruit, and spices. The finish is often considered short with sticky sweetness and hints of licorice. Despite these critiques, others appreciate its rounded dry start that evolves into delicate notes of white oak and old Pedro Ximenez casks, leading to a pleasant, long, and sweet aftertaste.
