Dos Maderas 5+5 is a triple-aged blend of carefully selected 5-year-old rums from Barbados and Guyana. The rums are then shipped to Jerez de la Frontera in southern Spain, where they undergo further aging in the cellars of Bodegas Williams & Humbert, a renowned Sherry house. Here, the rum enters its second stage of aging, spending a minimum of 3 years in very old casks of ‘Dos Cortados’ Palo Cortado. This results in our Dos Maderas 5+3 rum. Subsequently, the rum is poured into very old casks which have aged our very sweet Pedro Ximenez ‘Don Guido’ Sherry for a further two years, completing the third stage of aging. This rum is now our Dos Maderas 5+5.

The cask aging process employs the traditional Criadera and Solera system, which was first used in Sherry production centuries ago. Both Dos Cortados and Don Guido Sherries are certified as 20 Year Old Sherries by the Denomination de Origen Jerez-Xerez-Sherry, the oldest D.O. in Spain.
