Dos Maderas Selección Superior Reserve Triple Aged Solera is the top representative in the Dos Maderas series – a masterpiece of the Spanish winery Williams & Humbert, which combines Caribbean rums from Barbados and Guyana with the noble art of sherry aging in Jerez de la Frontera.
This special limited edition comes in a luxurious gift set with 2 tasting glasses, emphasizing the refinement and character of the drink.
“Selección” means selection of the best barrels, and “Triple Aged Solera” reflects the complex aging process in three phases and in a solera-type system, which creates a rum with exceptional depth, softness and a long aftertaste.

Dos Maderas Selección combines the best of both worlds through three successive stages of maturation:
Caribbean Stage – 5 Years:
Selected rums from Barbados and Guyana are aged in ex-bourbon oak casks under the natural tropical climate.
Spanish Stage – 5 Years:
They are then transported to Spain, where they are aged in Dos Cortados (Palo Cortado) and Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks, used in Williams & Humbert’s classic solera system.
Final Blend – Superior Selection:
The cellar masters select the ripest and most aromatic barrels from Dos Maderas 5+5 PX and combine them into a special Selección Blend to achieve the perfect balance between sweetness, structure and softness.
