  Dos Maderas Caribbean Ron Anejo 5+3 years Rum 37,5%

  Item no.: 227865421-42

  The name Dos Maderas means "two woods" and refers to the long journey the rum makes from the Caribbean to Jerez in Spain, where it receives a final finish in sherry casks.

  Expert Description

  Dos Maderas 5+3 is a Caribbean Ron Añejo, double-aged in bourbon and sherry casks, bottled at 37.5%.

  The rum is produced by Bodegas Williams & Humbert, the Spanish sherry house founded in 1877 in Jerez, which helped establish Spain's first official Denominación de Origen for sherry in the 1930s. The rum blend behind Dos Maderas is sourced from several Caribbean countries and first ages for 5 years in ex-bourbon casks in the tropical climate, before being shipped to Jerez to mature a further 3 years in casks that previously held the house's oldest sherry. The number 5+3 in the name refers directly to this two-stage ageing.

  The result is a round, sherry-forward rum, where dried fruit and caramel meet a soft, lightly winey finish.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Caramel, dried fruit and a touch of sherry.

  Palate

  Round and soft with raisin and a light winey character.

  Finish

  Medium-length and soft with lingering sherry.

  Dos Maderas Caribbean Ron Anejo 5+5 years Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865421-1

  Dos Maderas means "two types of wood" in Spanish, and the name tells the whole story of this doubly matured rum.

  Expert description

  Dos Maderas Caribbean Ron Anejo 5+5 Years is a Rum, blended from Barbados and Guyana, matured 5 years in the Caribbean in ex-bourbon casks and a further 5 years in Spain in ex-sherry casks, bottled at 40%.

  The rum combines two countries with their own distinct rum styles, Barbados and Guyana, in a delicate blend matured in two stages. After the initial five-year maturation in the Caribbean, the rum is shipped to Spain, where it matures for a further five years in casks that previously held sherry, giving it its name "two types of wood" and a doubly layered flavour profile.

  Palate

  Soft and delicate with raisin, fig and vanilla.

  Medium-length and warm, with lingering spiced sweetness.

  Item no.: 22227865407

  With its round, hand-blown bottle shape and striking orange colour, Pyrat XO Reserve stands out long before you've taken the first sip.

  Expert description

  Pyrat XO Reserve is a Caribbean Rum blended from rums up to 15 years old and bottled at 40%.

  The rum is a blend of several Caribbean rum distillates, originally developed on Anguilla under the name Anguilla Rums Ltd., but today owned by Patrón Spirits Company under Bacardi and blended and bottled at Demerara Distillers in Guyana. The blend is known for its distinctive orange character, derived from the addition of bitter orange peel during refining, giving Pyrat XO Reserve a sweet, citrus-forward profile that sets it apart from most other age-stated rums.
