Expert description

Dos Maderas Gift Set is a set of Rum from Barbados and Guyana consisting of 5+3 Years and PX 5+5 Years, both double-matured and bottled in 20 cl bottles.

The set brings together two of Dos Maderas' signature editions, where rum from Barbados and Guyana is first matured separately in the Caribbean, before being sent to Williams & Humbert's cellars in southern Spain for further ageing. The 5+3 Years is finished in sherry casks, while the PX 5+5 Years is finished in Pedro Ximenez casks, giving each bottle its own distinct style.
