Dos Maderas Luxus 10+5 years old Barbados-Guyana Blended Rum 70 cl 40%

The casks that previously held Don Guido, a Pedro Ximenez over 20 years old, give this rum a sweetness that borders on sinful.

Expert description

Dos Maderas Luxus 10+5 Years is a Rum from Barbados and Guyana, matured 10 years in the Caribbean and a further 5 years in Pedro Ximenez casks in Spain, bottled at 40%.

The rum is a blend of two English-style rums, where Barbados contributes sweetness and Guyana contributes fullness. After 10 years of maturation at the production sites in the Caribbean, the casks are sent to Williams & Humbert's cellars in southern Spain, where the rum matures for a further 5 years in casks that previously held Don Guido, a Pedro Ximenez sherry over 20 years old.
