Dos Maderas PX 5+5

I taste for the first time a Dos Maderas Rum. I like the idea of aging in different barrels. The first taste was ok, a very strong taste of malt.

Very dark and smooth. By the right temperature, it smells very smooth and a little sweet. Maybe vanilla and citrus.

I try 5+3 and also Selection, but this version really good value for money. You can sit and taste the pleasant aroma and sweet taste of this rum.

Excellent tasting rum. It has hints of cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. Very enjoyable on it's own or with your favorite mix.

We were surprised by this one. It gets very high ratings but we found it to be light in flavor or personality and so so high in alcohol fumes! It’s intense, not smooth with quite a bite. Made into a rum old fashioned it was just ok.

I received this rum with the tasting kit as a gift and we first started to taste the rum ingrediences from the kit. The tasting of the first sherry from the kit was terrible and I was afraid what will be the taste of the resulted rum but I was pleasantly surprised that the rum itself was very balanced between sweet, flavour and alcohol. Definitely one of the most interesting rums. This might be actually one of my favourite rums so far.

Is a good rum but to sweet, it’s good for the price

In regards to the ~16 Rums I tried so far, this one really went to the top of my list.
I'm using Rum almost 100% for making cocktails. This one does it's work well in those drinks
but also is a good smooth sipper, at least for me :)

Easy to drink more than enough as this is fine and tasty.

This was the rum that showed me how much I liked sherry accents in rum. This is really sweet with a raisin taste to it. Not what you would go for if you want a traditional rum, but it is good to sip on none-the-less
