The name "Dos Maderas" means “Two Woods” in English. And that already explains the rum’s exceptional aging process: it develops its complex aromas through maturation in different casks.
Dos Maderas Rum: From the Caribbean to Jerez de la Frontera
At first, the rum stays in its homeland. And in the case of Dos Maderas, that means Barbados or Guyana. After that, the refined spirit sets sail. Its second aging takes place in the Williams & Humbert bodega in Jerez de la Frontera.
The bodega was founded by two Brits at the end of the 19th century and has since gained an excellent reputation for its brandy and sherry. But that’s not all – gin is also part of the brand’s portfolio – and now, so is rum.
Fully Aged in Andalusia: Rum from Dos Maderas
Here in Andalusia, Dos Maderas undergoes its final refinement in former sherry casks, which give it a truly unique character. The brand’s flagship is without doubt the Dos Maderas Rum Luxus. And in this case, luxury means time.
It has been given the time it needs to fully develop its potential. It spent ten years in the Caribbean, followed by five more years in Spain to reach perfection. The result is stunning, especially thanks to its naturally sweet character.
