The house was founded in 1877 by Sir Alexander Williams, a great admirer and Connaisseur of Sherry – and Arthuur Humbert, specialist in international relations.

The house has won great announcement for their sherry, brandy and Rome. The master blender is closely selecting between the most exclusive Rome from Barbados and Guyana. Two countries with their own room style. Both countries make Rome on the pot stills and column apparatus. The powerful and aromatic ROM is made on pot stills and the more gentle and rounded on more modern column plants.
Dos Maderas Tasting Kit consists of a bottle of Dos Maderas 5 + 5 Rome (70 Cl) and 4 small samples: Guyana-Barbados Rome (starting point), Dos Cartados extreme dry Sherry, Dos Maderas 5 + 3 Rome and Don Guido Extreme Sweet PX Sherry . The process starts with 5 year old Guyana-Barbados Rome coming to Jerez, where it is laid in 20 years old Dos Cartados dishes. After three years, then DOS Maderas 5 + 3 The ROM has finished drinking. Some of this 5 + 3 Rome is now filled in 20 year old Don Guido PX dishes, and after another 2 years is so Dos Maderas 5 + 5 Rome finished (the large bottle).
