Portrait: What makes the Dos Maderas Origen - Thailand 12 year old special

The Dos Maderas Origen - Thailand 12 year old is like a well-told travelogue in bottle form - only without jet lag and lost luggage. Under the motto "One Spirit, Two Cultures", Thai rum tradition meets Spanish barrel-making artistry, and you quickly realize: This is no coincidence, but a rather well-thought-out plan.

The story begins in Thailand, where the rum is given a full twelve years to mature. No rush, no stress - after all, good maturation has never benefited from haste. Next, the journey continues to Spain, more precisely to the legendary Bodega Williams & Humbert. Arriving there, you don't just enter any old warehouse, but Europe's largest bodega, winner of the National Architecture Prize. A place where even the barrels seem to develop a certain architectural self-confidence. Williams & Humbert is one of the most important names in the world of sherry and brandy and knows exactly what wood, time, and patience can achieve together. For the Dos Maderas Origen, the whisky cellar is delved deep: The finishing takes place in rare Oloroso sherry casks, which already have around 80 years of history behind them. These casks have seen more than many a sailor and would likely have quite a few stories to tell – if they could speak.

Particularly exciting: The Dos Maderas Origen - Thailand 12 year old is the first bottling in the strictly limited Origen series. One could say it opens the chapter with a confident “Hello, here I am.” Not mass-produced, not an off-the-shelf rum, but a deliberately chosen starting point for a series that puts origin and craftsmanship at its heart. In short: This bottling is an encounter of two cultures, united by time, experience, and a remarkable eye for detail. A rum for all those who appreciate stories in a glass – and who know that great journeys sometimes end in a cask.

Tasting Notes: This is how the Dos Maderas Origen - Thailand 12 year old tastes like

• Nose: The bouquet is intense and complex, with pronounced sweet aromas of caramel and toffee. These are complemented by hints of coffee and roasted almonds, which lend depth to the fragrance. Woody nuances blend harmoniously with vanilla, dark chocolate, and coconut. Subtle citrus notes of kumquat and orange peel provide freshness and create an elegant, slightly lively contrast.
• Palate: On the palate, the rum is soft, full-bodied, and pleasantly warm on the first sip. Intense and balanced in flavor, characterized by roasted wood, caramel, and coffee. Chocolatey notes and coconut accompany the development, lending the overall impression a rounded, dense structure with noticeable depth.
• Finish: The finish is long and lingering. The previously perceived aromas of wood, caramel, coffee, and chocolate slowly fade, leaving a warm, harmonious impression that persists for some time.
