Dos Maderas PX 5+5

This was the first rum I tasted, and the one that got me to love a good rum. The Dos maderas 5+5 got some nice woody smell at first with some vanilla tones. The first sip got some subtile Burn followed with some sweet caramel aftertaste. Not A complex rum but very accessible and pleasant!

One of my favorites, but I understand that its not a rum for orthodox rum drinkers. It is a connection of two drinks. Complex aroma and woody-sherry aftertaste. Could be a little bit less sweet.

Very good drink, aged properly, it has a
Real good boque of parfumes

The more you drink more you appreaciate the taste

My type of rum. It’s the perfect sweetness and strength, just the way I like it.

One of the nicest, smoothest rums I have tasted. Very nice Carmel upfront with a slight spiciness. There is a nice sherry finish with a substantial bit of heat at the back of the palate as the sip finishes! Very highly rated at a very nice price point.

Pour over one piece of ice & slowly consume. Feel the smooth, delicious flavour of vanilla overtones as you drink.
I drank a bottle in no time at all due to the actual texture & flavour of this luscious liquid.

Good, but a bit simple for my taste. Well structured though. I’d never turn down a glass if offered.

Chuť 8/10
Vůně 7/10
Síla 6/10
Sladkost 7/10

Sladký, příjemné tóny dřeva, rozinek, velmi blízko ke koňaku, minimální vůně esterů. Silnější ale jemný, hřejivý.

Smell: Juicy ripe dates, floral brown sugar, aged cognac, rich sherry, floral oak. Very well balanced, rich and floral – interesting - clean and complex at the same time – medium age shows. It does get more complex when it opens up (30min + in glass) and the sherry old casks influenced it in an unique way.

Taste: Sweet cherry syrup mixed with ripe dates and molasses sugar – it is a little sweetened but still nice quite rich, floral and complex - no alcohol burn at all. Some black tea that brings a slight bitterness and aged oak but not too old. Very full bodied and smooth as a sipping rum. The sherry character really shows and compliments the rum.

Sweet rum very, pleasant/smooth to drink – rich sherry influence that goes well with the character. Definitely worth the higher price at 36€.

An originally tasting sweet, rounded rum with pleasant taste. I can feel (obvious) sherry, wooden, buttery and fruit tones in there. For a starter I didn't much like its strongly sherry tones and lack of sweetness (as seen +- 1 yr ago) in the beginning but really started to like it from the middle of the cask onwards (purchased another bottle). The first taste is a masterpiece. A bit feels like Carupano or some Angosturas, but BETTER. May be slightly too sweet for someone and possibly not the greatest alcohol to get shitfaced. (8,5/10)
