What is New to You...... SPEAKEASY EDITION

The hot Caribbean climates of Barbados and Guyana are ideal for the first maturation of Dos Maderas. These spirits spend five years resting in 220-litre ex-bourbon oak casks. The five-year-old rums from Barbados are light and refined, while those from Guyana are generally heavier and more full-bodied.

This blend is then shipped to the Williams & Humbert sherry-ageing bodega in Jerez, the heart of the sherry-producing region. Spain’s unique solera ageing process transforms the spirit, with the climate of Jerez and a combination of sherry barrels all contributing towards the flavour of the final product.

Nice to see you getting a little more “rum curious”

This brand has a good reputation in the rum
Community. I just get hung up on the question “where is the third aging?”

I gave the simple explanation. In Spain the aging is split into two. First the rum is aged for 3 years in 20 year-old Palo Cortado Sherry casks. Then moved into 20 year-old PX casks for 2 more years.

On the ship I asked for a recommendation of a sipping rum. First he suggested Ron Del Barrilito. When I told him I had that, this was next.
