Dos Maderas Miniature 5+5 years old Caribbean Ron Añejo Rum 5 cl 40%

A small pocket-sized bottle, but with the same double maturation as the full-size version: first in the Caribbean, then in Spain.

Expert description

Dos Maderas Miniature 5+5 Years PX is a Rum from Barbados and Guyana, double-matured and finished in Pedro Ximenez casks, bottled at 40% in a 5 cl miniature.

The rum follows the same process as the full-size bottle: rum from Barbados and Guyana is first matured separately in the Caribbean for 5 years, after which it is sent to Williams & Humbert's cellars in southern Spain for a further 5 years of ageing in casks that previously held Pedro Ximenez sherry. The miniature is ideal for getting to know Dos Maderas' characteristic style without investing in a full bottle.
