Dos Maderas Launches Origen Thailand

Dos Maderas, the rum under Bodegas Williams & Humbert, just released Dos Maderas Origen Thailand, a limited-edition release crafted from 12-year-old Thai rum and finished in rare 80-year-old Oloroso sherry casks. With only 4,000 bottles available worldwide, this launch marks the first expression within the new Dos Maderas Origen Series.

This new series begins in Thailand, where the rum is distilled from locally grown sugarcane and aged for 12 years in Bourbon casks before traveling to Jerez, Spain, according to the brand. Once there, it undergoes an additional six months of maturation in 80-year-old Oloroso sherry casks. With this series, Williams & Humbert applies the same technique as with the rest of its rums in the Dos Maderas range: Reverse Finishing.

“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,” said Gonzalo Medina, international marketing manager at Bodegas Williams & Humbert, in a news release. “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.”

The bottle features a label by Claessens International that pays tribute to Thailand’s cultural and natural heritage, according to the brand, featuring the Thai elephant, a national symbol of strength, wisdom, and good fortune. The rum shows a bright mahogany color with antique gold highlights, opening with layered aromas of caramel, coffee, toasted almond, vanilla, dark chocolate, coconut and subtle citrus.

Dos Maderas Origen Thailand is available at select stores and online via e-commerce at shop.dosmaderas.com with an SRP of $82.99 for a 700ml bottle.
