Dos Maderas Rum 5 + 3 750 ml
About this bottle
Dos Maderas 5+3 is a rum from Williams & Humbert, the Jerez sherry house, built from a blend of Barbados and Guyanese rums. The "5+3" name describes the aging: five years in the Caribbean, then a further three years in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks at the bodega in Jerez, Spain, a double-maturation process unusual for rum. That sherry finish shows clearly, with raisin and dried fig sweetness layering over the rum's oak and vanilla, and a nutty, slightly grippy edge from the PX casks. It's richer and more dessert-leaning than a standard aged rum thanks to that second maturation. This bottle suits rum drinkers who already like sherry or Madeira and want to see what that cask influence does to a Caribbean spirit.
How to drink Dos Maderas 5+3
Pour it neat after dinner the way you'd treat a tawny port, or add a single ice cube to open up the raisin and fig notes. It's rich enough to stand in for a rum-based Old Fashioned if you want something sweeter than bourbon.

Questions about this bottle
How should Dos Maderas 5+3 be served?
Neat or with a large ice cube in a rocks glass or snifter -- the sherry-cask richness is built for sipping rather than mixing.

Who produces Dos Maderas?
It's made by Williams & Humbert, a longtime Jerez sherry house, which explains the PX cask finishing that gives the rum its raisin and dried fig character.
