I totally wish I knew where you find these wonderful beverages.
Oh man. We would have a great time.Some day I’m going to show up at Eric’s door with Tylenol and a tasting glass.

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

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.I just get hung up on the question “where is the third aging?”
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.Nice to see you getting a little more “rum curious”
