Dos Maderas 5 + 5 Double Aged Rum...$38.99
Compare to $46.99 at Total Wine and More

Aged 5 Years in the Caribbean - Oak Casks
Aged 5 years in Jerez, Spain - Palo Cortado and PX Sherry Casks
Double Ageing
Alcoholic content: 40% AVB.
Production: first resting for five years in the Caribbean, then for three more at the Williams & Humbert facilities in casks which have aged "Dos Cortados” (Palo Cortado), Dos Maderas 5+3 rum once finished then undergoes a third stage of ageing in butts which have previously aged "Don Guido" sherry (Pedro Ximénez) for 20 years, thus giving origin to the extraordinary Dos Maderas PX rum. Both "Don Guido“ and "Dos Cortados" have been aged for 20 years as certified by the oldest Denomination of Origin in Spain: that of Jerez-Xérès-Sherry.
This rum merges Caribbean rum and notes of Pedro Ximénez grapes from Sherry casks to bring forth a deep, rich, dark amber spirit. The sweet parts of figs, dates and raisins are soaked up and anointed with a brown-sugar finish. The liquid’s perfume is sensual: a savory sandalwood with a hint of tamed spice.
