Time transformed into a work of art<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dos Maderas 1935 is an exceptional rum that brings together the heritage of the Caribbean and the winemaking tradition of Jerez in a production process of extraordinary singularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time and origin: a unique character<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sourced from Guyana and Barbados, this rum is aged for ten years in the Caribbean, where the tropical climate intensifies its interaction with the wood and encourages the development of sweet, fruity notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It then travels to Jerez, to the historic Williams & Humbert bodegas, where it begins a second ageing stage of five years in a cask that previously held Pedro Xim\u00e9nez with an average age of 20 years. This ageing adds new layers of complexity and character, the result of the unique winemaking tradition of the Marco de Jerez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ninety years of history preserved in wood: the 1935 cask<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most singular stage of its production takes place in a 1935 cask from the historic collection of vintage wines of Williams & Humbert, considered the oldest and most complete in the Marco de Jerez. This Single Cask collection has aged sherries described as \u201cglorious\u201d by Thomas Hudson, director at Christie\u2019s in London, when referring to these vintages during their auction at the prestigious house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intended for the oxidative ageing of fortified free-run must, the 1935 cask held a wine that evolved to reach the concentration and character of an oloroso, with a palo cortado profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After nine decades of ageing wine, the wood retains a unique oenological imprint of extraordinary aromatic richness and concentration. The rum rests for three months in this historic cask, just long enough to take on new nuances without letting them dominate the whole or alter the balance achieved in the previous stages. The result is greater complexity, in which the aromas acquired throughout its ageing blend with those contributed by this one-of-a-kind wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final rest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After its time in the 1935 cask, the rum is transferred to 16-litre glass demijohns, where it remains for more than two and a half years. This final rest helps its aromas and flavours to integrate, allowing them to reach their definitive expression before bottling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is a deep and extraordinarily complex rum, in which aromatic intensity and richness coexist with elegance and harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An exceptional sensory experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Juanjo Mesa, oenologist and master blender at Williams & Humbert, describes the tasting notes of this extraordinary rum as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDeep mahogany in colour with golden highlights, Dos Maderas 1935 unfolds a deep, enveloping nose, with aromas of noble wood, raisins, sweet spices, toasted almonds, chocolate and vanilla. On the palate it is velvety, unctuous and balanced, with intense notes of wood, toasted nuts, vanilla and spicy nuances. Its finish is long, elegant and persistent, leaving a warm, complex sensation that invites you to savour it slowly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dos Maderas 1935 is best enjoyed neat, served in a wide glass that allows its full aromatic richness to be appreciated, although it can also be enjoyed on the rocks. Its profile makes it an excellent after-dinner companion, with particularly interesting affinities with dark chocolate, nuts, fine pastries and cured cheeses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottle and its case, crafted from noble wood and fitted with interior lighting, have been designed to enhance the exceptional nature of their contents. Every detail of the presentation reflects a careful combination of craftsmanship, innovation and elegance, worthy of a rum of extraordinary character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
