Dos Maderas — Dos Maderas Origen Thailand Dos Maderas

Dos Maderas, the well-known rum brand under Bodegas Williams & Humbert, just announced the first release in its Dos Maderas Origen Series. This new series was created to show the diversity of rum throughout the world, and it all begins with an expression from a country not often associated with rum.

Dos Maderas Origen Thailand

The first release in the new Dos Maderas Origen Series is a 12-year-old Thai rum finished in rare 80-year-old Oloroso sherry casks called Dos Maderas Origen Thailand. Only 4,000 bottles of this limited-release will be made available to the public.

This expression was distilled from locally sourced sugarcane in Thailand, then matured for 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels. It’s then shipped to Jerez, Spain, where it is finished for another six months in 80-year-old Oloroso sherry casks.

According to the brand, the result is a complex aged rum that starts with aromas of caramel, coffee, toasted almonds, vanilla, dark chocolate, coconut, and citrus peels. The palate is smooth and memorable with notes of toasted wood, caramelized sugar, chocolate, and toasted coconut.

“The release of Origen Thailand introduces a new chapter for Dos Maderas, offering a way to explore the global rum-making while preserving the artistry of sherry finishing that the brand is known for,” Gonzalo Medina, International Marketing Manager at Bodegas Williams & Humbert, says.

“We chose Thailand as the starting point for the Origen Series for its vibrant culture, rich culinary heritage, and a growing spirits scene, perfect to shine a light on the world’s rum-producing regions.”

Where can I buy it?

Dos Maderas Origen Thailand is currently available at shop.dosmaderas.com, online stores, and select retailers for the suggested price of $82.99 for a 700ml bottle.

Tequila vs. vodka: Exploring the key differences between two popular spirits

Vodka

I’ve been writing about spirits for almost two decades. I’ve learned the ins and outs of every popular hard alcohol. But if you’re new to the spirits world, you might not know the differences between tequila and vodka. Tequila vs. vodka –this is especially true when both are unaged. In appearance alone, the two spirits look remarkably similar. When made with high-quality ingredients, distilled multiple times, and filtered a handful of times, both tequila and vodka are crystal clear. There aren’t any noticeable differences. The same could be said for a bottle of gin or a glass of tap water.

Once you take a whiff, the differences begin to reveal themselves. Unaged (or blanco) tequila carries aromas like vegetal sweetness, cooked agave, vanilla, and cracked black pepper. Vodka has different aromas based on its main ingredient (wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, or something else), but you can bet you find scents of neutral ethanol, minerality, vanilla, cracked black pepper, and even citrus peels.

Spirits

The holidays are some of our favorite times of the year. It is all about the parties and the get-togethers that bring everyone in your circle to the same place for celebration, no matter what your background is. That also means you have to spend significantly more time with people. And, if you are like me, most of these parties get a little too peopley for me, causing me to need a bit of liquid social lubricant. Whether you are like me, or you know someone like me, spirits are a great way to show someone in your life you care. So, here are our favorite gifts for the man in your life with spirit.
