Type and origin:
Category: Premium Aged Rum – Triple Cask Aging
Origin of the distillate: Barbados and Guyana (Caribbean)
Aging and bottling: Jerez de la Frontera, Spain
Producer: Williams & Humbert
Concept and aging process:
Dos Maderas 5+5 PX is a triple aged rum that combines the craftsmanship of Caribbean distillation with the Spanish tradition of sherry casks.
First stage: The rum from Barbados and Guyana is aged for 5 years in a tropical climate in oak barrels that previously held bourbon.
Second stage: It is then transported to Spain, to the Williams & Humbert cellars, where it is aged for 3 years in Dos Cortados (Palo Cortado) sherry casks.
Third stage: For the last 2 years, the rum is aged in Pedro Ximénez (PX) barrels – a sherry with an extremely rich and sweet profile, which gives it a unique soft and dessert character.
The total aging period is 10 years (5+3+2), which justifies the name 5+5 Triple Aged.
