Aging Rum In Sherry Casks
The casks of the sweetest sherry wine adds another dimension to Dos Maderas 5+5, Seleccion and Luxus, providing smoothness, as well as flavors of raisin and prune. These exquisite rums are transformed through the solera ageing process with casks that previously aged very sweet 20-year-old Pedro Ximénez. These highly sought-after casks are over 80 years old, adding wonderfully complex flavors.
Criadera & Solera System
The solera system of ageing originated in Jerez, and is traditionally used to age sherry. This is a continuous ageing process, with the spirit starting in the top row of casks and slowly moving downwards until the rum is extracted for bottling. This process adds complexity and depth throughout this time in oak.
Blending Process
The Dos Maderas master blender, Paola Medina – recognized by Decanter Magazine as ‘one of the 10 most outstanding winemakers in Spain’ – ensures the quality and harmony of the finished rums after ageing.
Our rums transform any of the classic rum cocktails, from Mai Tais to Daiquiris, transporting you to the tropics, but with a taste of Jerez too.
