Dos Maderas PX 5+5

This is one to keep on the shelf it may not be the best but if it was in high school it would have the grades to make the Ivy League.

This rum is so good in many ways. Soft, sweet but not too sweet, hint of old barrel like an old pirate ship. I can only recommend this rum to all.

Really a special taste, we can truly taste the xeres. A nice addition to your collection.

Smooth and sweet rum… nice color, oily, excellent sipping rum.. caramel, toffee, nuts and also you can feel sherry casks.. very good choice.

This rum has jumped into my top 4 with a super smooth finish and great aroma

Heel lekkere rum om puur te drinken, heel zacht in de mond en smaakvol

vůně - ve vůni takové uzavřené - prim hraje dubovost a stará kůže, dále pak opečený toast, lehce probleskující sušené fíky a sherry
chuť - v chuti už je to úplně jiné, hned ze začátku se otevře plná sladká rumovost v kombinaci se sílící sherry chuťí - rozinky v čokoládě v kombinaci s jemnou skořicí, oříšky, kůže, dubovost na pozadí
dozvuk - v dozvuku rozinky, opečený toast a trocha koření
hodnocení - ve vůni hodně dřevité, ovšem pak přijde pan PX a dějou se věci - velmi dobrá kombinace rumu a sherry

Good value for money ratio! Interesting combination of sweetness, smoth and a certain bite!

Triplo processo di invecchiamento per questo rum: 5 anni ai Caraibi, 5 anni in Spagna (3 anni in botti di sherry 'Dos Cortados', + 2 in botti di sherry 'Pedro Ximenez').
Colore ambrato molto scuro, gusto dolce, morbido con note di cioccolato e vaniglia.

Dos Maderas 5 X 5 is worth your time, unless you are stuck on the harsher rums, which I used to be, give this one a try. It is smooth, and has its own complexity of flavors. I understand there are 2 aging processes is different barrels, that add to the flavors.
