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.

Dos Maderas PX 5x5 Rum er en meget speciel rom, med en utrolig stor fad smag, men ellers er smag og duft udmærket. Hvis den skal genkøbet går der et stykke tid.

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.

Notes of sherry and caramel, not overly sweet and a bit spicy.
Not a huge experience for me

At first this comes of very bourbony and harsh, with added suger. This really needs to breathe, a lot! After 30 minutes in the glass almost all the whiskey/bourbon taste is gone, and the sherry flavour is fruiter than sweet. Nice tones of dried fruit and sherry, and a lovely colour.

The way it's created gives it some extra credit, I'm a sucker for a creative way of getting a complex taste together.

Veľmi pekne zabalený rum, má krásnu tmavú farbu ako nejaké 20 a viac ročné rumy, až sa obávam, že je prikrášlený karamelom...Voňa je sladká, cítiť v nej hrozienká a čokoládu, možno kávu. Chuť kopíruje vôňu, je to sladší rum ale nie extra. Záver je hladký, ale cítim viac alkoholu ako by som chcel. Veľmi slušný priemerný rum.

This tastes like Sherry with a harsh alcohol taste. I somehow prefer the cheaper version of this rum (2*4 or sth) this this one is more able to combine the taste of Sherry and Rum.

Noticed the ethyl aroma upon first sip. Flavored with Sherry taste, smooth and well rounded. However a little too sweet for my taste.
