Dos Maderas P.X. 5+5 Years

Dos Maderas P.X. 5 + 5-Year-Old Rum is first aged for five years in the Caribbean, inside American oak casks. Later it is shipped to the Williams & Humbert winery in Jerez in Spain, where it is first aged for a further five years in sherry "Dos Cortados" casks. Dos Maderas 5+5 then undergoes a third stage of aging in butts that have previously aged "Don Guido" Pedro Ximénez sherry, thus giving origin to the extraordinary Dos Maderas P.X. rum.

Extremely Smooth. Deep mahogany color, a reddish-brown hue like brilliant sapphire. The heavier caramel rum aromas are lifted by sweet traces of sherry and subsequently reveal nuts (pecan), vanilla, charred wood, dried fruit (raisins, figs, dates, plums, and black cherries). Then comes slightly earthy, musty, and tannic scents where sugar cane meets grape and old leather. The initial taste wows from the complexity of fine rum blended with sherry depth, delivering herbaceous and sweet flavors without cloying, fruity, and substantial, and some spice to enhance the flavors. A medium-heavy body sets up a finely balanced, long-duration finish that enables you to savor more lightly charred oak, hints of tobacco, more than a bit of sherry, and very mild anise.
