Dos Maderas PX 5+5

This is a great dessert rum. Excellent nose and a genuinely sweet pallette. This bottle never lasts long enough at my house

Zrání tohoto rumu má 3 fáze: nejprve zraje 5 let v dubových sudech v Karibiku. Poté je převezen do Španělska, kde zraje ve sklepích vinařství Williams & Humbert nejdříve 3 roky v sudech po sherry Dos Cortados a na závěr 2 roky v sudech po sladkém sherry Don Guido z odrůdy Pedro Ximenez.

Aroma: Sherry výluh, rozinky, mokré trouchnivějící dřevo, skořice.
Chuť: Sladké - rozinky v čokoládě a opět vévodící sherry.
Dozvuk: Skořice a odeznívající sherry rozinkovost. Příjemný, středně dlouhý.
Sladkost: 2/3
Celá lahev
Opět přechutnávka jednoho z mých začátečnických rumů. Je to stále dobře pitelný sherry výluh, kde je sladkost na mojí stupnici únosnosti ještě v limitu.

I thought this rum was very interesting. You do get the sherry and oak on your palate. Reminded me of cognac. I would definitely drink this again.

Tasting

Sherry cask influence

Dark color, sweet aroma and finished in sherry cask. Not my favorite, but definetly worth a try.

after picking up a bottle of plantation with infused pineapple for a good friend this bottle stood right next to it. i remembered it to be on my wishlist so i treated myself as well. after opening and smelling it i already knew, i'm gonna like this one! and indeed this rum did not disappoint. it's sweet and fruity, much like diplomatico so it's not for the dry rum enthusiasts (they will hate it and call it a non rum lol, or so this site teaches us). i like it even better than diplomatico and that's been my go to rum for a good while. price range is a titbit higher but comparable. this will be added to my "need to have in stock" list. always nice to be surprised!

I have never been a rum person, bourbon and Irish whiskey are more my style. Then I found a rum that like more than Bourbon! I went o Key west and there is a rum bar there, we did a number of flights, this was the rum that we both liked best.
I now have three bottles of rum in my house. This one Dos Maderas 5+5, Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, and Bacoo 12 year. This one is my favorite, closely followed by Bacoo 12 year, the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva has too much molasses taste so takes third place.

The Dos Maderas is smooth with a Carmel nose very little alcohol bite and a nice sherry finish. I highly recommend it. However, if you are looking for bang-for-the-buck Buy Bacoo 12 year, it so close of a second that I can not justify paying 50% more for the Dos Maderas...

Nice dark rum with hints of raisin, little bit dry

One of the best rum i tried so far.. love the taste..

Now, in order to enjoy this rum, you must be prepared for intense sweetness. The Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks impart loads of rich sugary flavors. Raisins, apricots, figs, etc.
It's been said that they even add some Sherry to the solera casks during continental aging.
All said this is very flavorful rum, but too sweet and not proofy enough for me.
