Dos Maderas PX 5+5

RM
had this rum recently

Barbados | Aged | 40% ABV

Dos Maderas PX 5 + 5 rum is made from a combination of rums from Barbados and Guyana. It is unique becuase of its triple ageding process where for 5 initial years the rum is aged in the Carribean in oak casks. Next PX 5 + 5 is aged in Spain for 5 years in sherry casks, and lastly for 2 more years in even older sherry casks.

The Dos Maderas family of rums are produced by Bodegas Williams & Humbert, which is a well known Spanish winery founded by Sir Alexander Williams in the late 1800s. The region of Spain where the winery is located has a climate perfectly suited for wine and is known as Europe's wine cellar.

The Dos Maderas PX 5+5 is a blend of two rums from Barbados and Guyana which were allowed to store in American oak barrels for 5 years and then stored in Spain for 5 years in PX barrels. How wet the barrels are, so how much sherry has been incorporated into the rum is not known. The rum is bottled with 40%. Sugar caramel is used for the colour and a sugar content of 36g/l has been found during measurements.

In the nose, the rum is quite fruity with some spice, wood and some sharpness. Here everything is ok for the price. On the palate, the sherry influence is clear. Heavy sweetness spreads which is neatly pushed by sugar. However, the body is not as full-bodied as with the Seleccion. bitter substances are in the way. Wood and spice are included. Alcohol also resonates. Mostly, however, it is simply sweet. The finish is super short and comes with some vanilla and other wood notes as well as the sherry note.

Just for fun I tasted the Plantation 3 Star pure that evening when I was taking the photo. In direct comparison, this Plantation was almost more exciting than the Dos Maderas. Especially in the finish. All those who like this rum very much I can strongly recommend the Wagemut PX. A sherry finish without additives. A much better product with Foursquare Rum at the same price. Please... no more bullshit.

Der Dos Maderas PX 5+5 ist ein Blend aus zwei Rums von Barbados und Guyana welche 5 Jahre in amerikanischen Eichenfässern lagern durften um dann in Spanien bei der Firma William und Humbert nochmals für 5 Jahre in PX Fässern nach zu lagern. Wie nass die Fässer sind, also wie viel Sherry noch mit in den Rum integriert wurde ist nicht bekannt. Der Rum wird am Ende mit 40% abgefüllt. Es wird Zuckerkulör für die Farbe verwendet und bei Messungen wurde ein Zuckergehalt von 36g/l festgestellt.

In der Nase ist der Rum durchaus fruchtig mit etwas Würze, Holz und etwas Schärfe. Hier ist für den Preis alles ok. Am Gaumen ist der Sherry Einfluss deutlich. Schwere Süße macht sich breit welche von Zucker ordentlich gepushed wird. Der Körper ist aber nicht so vollmundig wie bei dem Seleccion. Bitterstoffe stören. Es ist Holz und Würze dabei. Auch Alkohol schwingt mit. Hauptsächlich ist er aber einfach süß. Der Abgang ist super kurz und kommt mit etwas Vanille und weiteren Holznoten sowie der Sherry Note.

Ich habe an dem Abend als ich auch das angehangende Foto gemacht habe aus Spaß den Plantation 3 Star pur verkostet. Im direkten Vergleich war dieser fast spannender als der Dos Maderas. Vor allem im Abgang. Alle die diesen Rum sehr mögen kann ich mit Nachdruck den Wagemut PX empfehlen. Ein geiles Sherry Finish ohne Zusatzstoffe. Ein viel besseres Produkt mit Foursquare Rum zum selben Preis. Please... no more Bullshit.

This is a great rum for the price and surprisingly tasty because of the 5+5 blend. It's just a little bit too sweet.

Nice bottle with a cool story, this rum opens up with a rather sweet dose of spices in the aroma, followed by smooth smell of fruit and what I presume to be sherry after also tasting the sherry minibottles that came with the rum. The end of the aroma also catches a nice dried plum scent. Dark copper colour, medium legs run down my glass quite slowly after twirling it a few times..
The taste is very strange for me, and includes some biterness, honey, sherry and generally fruity taste, some tastes also found in heavy dry red wines, and alcohol but very manageable amount. Upon adding a few drops of water (tried 2-3 drops into a 0.02l amount of the spirit), the taste seems to smoothen around the edges and become less artificially sweet and more honey-like.
Almost no afterburn or exit, makes me wonder if this ain't a sweet syrup for kids or something. Oh and makes a crazy cool mixer to make your cocktails just a little different, however not sure it is priced as a casual mixer for everyone. Cannot say I do not like it, one glass is an interesting experience, but I would prefer to sip something else through the evening. Also offered this to three laides, each of whom was kinda happy, but nothing exceptional, They were only astonished by the rum once I actually used it to mix their favourite drinks, Jungle Bird, Daiquiri, "tequilla" sunrise and a non-jamaican Planter's Punch.

First of all, if you don't like sherry or sherry aroma, you should keep your hands off this rum. But if you get involved, you will find a great, pleasantly sweet and mild rum with a wonderful sherry aroma. At the beginning I was a bit sceptical because I generally don't drink sherry very often, but this rum is something different. Not too sweet, hardly any alcoholic bite and a sherry note that is not too strong and harmonizes wonderfully with the other flavours. Nearly full score!

With ice it dilutes a little too much so go easy I'll try the frozen soapstone cubes

Verkostete zuvor Rum aus Guyana und Barbados, beide ohne Zusatzstoffe und sehr lecker !
Und nun Beide gemixt, in Sherry Fässer gefüllt und gezuckert 36gr/l - na und ?
Kein Problem, ein komplett neues Erlebnis entsteht !
Ein wunderschönes dunkelrotes Mahagoni im Glas.
Die frischen fruchtigen Düfte des Barbados Rum erreichen die Nase zuerst, gefolgt von herben Holznoten eines Sherry Fasses die die fruchten Noten unterstreicht.
Im Gaumen, ein schön warmes Mundgefühl sehr süss. Die würzigen Aromen vom Demerara Rum stehen im Vordergrund, schön eingepackt in holzigen Sherry Aromen ein perfektes Zusammenspiel.
Im Abgang dominieren die Sherry Fässer begleitet von einer fruchtigen Süsse.
Ein gut gemachter, aber auch sehr süsser Rum den jeder der Diplomatico/Zacapa/Zaya/El Dorado liebt einmal im Glas haben sollte.

Tasted previously rum from Guyana and Barbados, both without additives and very tasty!
And now both mixed, filled in sherry barrels and sweetened 36gr / l - so what ?
No problem, a completely new experience arises!
A beautiful dark red mahogany in the glass.
The fresh fruity fragrances of the Barbados rum reach the nose first, followed by tart notes of a sherry barrel which highlights the fruit notes.
In the palate, a nice warm mouthfeel and very sweet. The spicy aromas of the Demerara Rum stand in the foreground, beautifully packed in woody sherry aromas, a perfect match.
In the finish dominate the sherry barrels accompanied by a fruity sweetness.
A well-made, but also very sweet rum, which everyone who loves Diplomatico / Zacapa / Zaya /
El Dorado should once have in the glass.
