00:00 Introduction
Both the Double and Triple Aged Dos Maderas rums were reviewed using the Bespoke Unit Liquor Formula, a quantifiable review matrix that you can use online or quickly refer to if you're in a hurry.
00:59 Rum Overview
Dos Maderas is a project by Williams & Humbert where 5-year old rum is imported from the Caribbean and then aged in Jerez, Spain. The double aged rum is aged a further three years in Palo Cortado sherry casks whereas the Triple Aged is also aged a further two years in Pedro Ximenez casks.
03:19 Robe & Appearance
The Double Aged is significantly lighter than the Triple Aged, which features a surprisingly dark hue for just two additional years of ageing. Otherwise, both are crisp but the Triple Aged features a higher degree of viscosity.
04:17 Nose
The Double Aged has a somewhat mentholated nosefeel while the Triple Aged is peppery. The Double Aged reveals notes of marzipan, almond, apricot, and golden raisin. In comparison, the Triple Aged is quite vinous, with notes of ratafia, nutmeg spice, and vanilla.
05:43 Double Aged Palate
Featuring an overall umami primary flavour, the mouthfeel is somewhat peppery and slightly coarser than expected. It's complex overall, opening with conference pear, cinnamon and mandarin. The heart then displays notes of dried apricot, brine, and almond. Its finish consists of yeast, butter, and cedar.
8:21 Triple Aged Palate
The Triple Aged is very sweet with a creamy mouthfeel, which feels like syrup. Its flavour is richer with opening notes of almond oil, red grape, and orange peel. The heart reveals dark chocolate, marmalade, and dried raisin. Its finish leaves notes of marzipan, cinnamon spice, and salted caramel.
11:07 Overall Experience
Both have the same glass bottle but the Double Aged has opted for a vintage pirate map whereas the Triple Aged label is distinctively more premium in appearance. Additionally, the Double Aged doesn't have a package whereas the Triple Aged comes in a cardboard canister. Needless to say, the Double Aged is a more casual drink whereas the Triple Aged is best suited to formal occasions. Nevertheless, both Dos Maderas expressions offer excellent value for money at the equivalent of $35 and $40 respectively in Europe.
13:08 Cocktails & Pairings
The Double Aged is more versatile for cocktails and can be used to make things like a Cuba Libre or Dark & Stormy. Meanwhile, the Triple Aged is better sipped neat but would go well in a hot buttered rum.
The Double Aged's brine and yeasty qualities make it better suited for main dishes. For instance, it would go particularly well with a fish pie. As for the Triple Aged, its sweet character makes it ideal for desserts such as a sticky toffee pudding. If you like cigars, I would recommend a Connecticut wrapper such as the JC Newman Perla del Mar for the Double Aged. You could consider the H. Upmann Magnum 54 for the Triple Aged.
