Aging Process – The “5+5” Philosophy
The unique triple aging process of Dos Maderas 5+5 PX takes place in three carefully selected stages:
First Stage – 5 Years:
The Barbados and Guyana rum is matured in ex-bourbon oak barrels under the tropical Caribbean sun.
Second Stage – 3 Years:
It is then transported to Spain, to the Williams & Humbert cellars, where it is matured in Dos Cortado (Palo Cortado) sherry casks – giving it a refined and dry woody note.
Third stage – 2 years:
The final aging is carried out in barrels of Pedro Ximénez (PX) – sherry with an intense sweet and fruity character, which gives the rum its unique softness and depth.
The total maturation period is 10 years (5+3+2) – the symbol of the name 5+5.
