Spanish Heritage of the Dos Maderas Brand

The brand Dos Maderas belongs to the Spanish group Williams & Humbert, which was founded in 1877 in Jerez, Andalusia. It is one of the largest and most traditional wine and spirits companies in Spain, known primarily for its production of sherry. The connection between the worlds of rum and sherry was the foundation for the creation of the Dos Maderas brand.

Double Aging – A Bridge Between the Caribbean and Andalusia

Rum itself is produced in the Caribbean, specifically in Barbados and Guyana, where it ages for the first five years in classic oak barrels. It is then transported to Spain, where under the supervision of Williams & Humbert, its second aging phase takes place in sherry casks. This system is called double aging and is the cornerstone of the Dos Maderas brand identity.

Two Worlds, One Style

Caribbean: first phase – five years of tropical aging in oak barrels, giving the rum sweetness, notes of vanilla, and caramel.
Jerez, Andalusia: second phase – aging in casks previously used for Dos Cortados (Oloroso) and Don Guido (Pedro Ximénez) sherry. These casks impart depth, subtle wine notes, and sweetness of dried figs, dates, and nuts to the rum.

This system is not common – most rums age only in the Caribbean, but Dos Maderas utilizes the long tradition of sherry production and thus combines two distinct craft cultures into one unique result.

Dos Maderas Rums

Dos Maderas 5+3 – 5 years in the Caribbean + 3 years in Oloroso sherry casks. A smooth, harmonious rum with notes of vanilla, almonds, and nuts.
Dos Maderas 5+5 PX – 5 years in the Caribbean + 5 years in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. A sweeter, more complex character with aromas of dried fruit, caramel, and raisins.
Dos Maderas Luxus – an exclusive edition that continues aging for additional years in PX sherry casks after 10 years, creating an extremely smooth and luxurious rum.

A Bridge Between Rum and Sherry

Dos Maderas rums are known for their smoothness and rich profile. Flavors of caramel, molasses, honey, vanilla, dried fruit, nuts, and subtle wine accents from sherry emerge on the palate. Their body is full, velvety, and has a long, warming finish.

Dos Maderas is one of the few rums that utilize sherry casks from the solera system, a traditional method of aging wine in Jerez. The rum is produced in two countries – Barbados (smoother, fruitier style) and Guyana (heavier, molasses style) – and it is their combination that creates the base, which is then refined in Spain.

Thanks to the double aging, Dos Maderas is often considered a "bridge between rum and sherry." The brand combines Caribbean sun and Spanish tradition into one glass. Its rums are rich, elegant, and exceptional due to their unique aging process – designed for those seeking more than just classic rum, for lovers of complex flavors and stories that connect two distinct worlds into a unique experience.
