Dos Maderas 5+3

Good, young rum perfect for mixing but simple and sharp from alcohol for sipping

but on my bottle it says caribbean, guyana and barbados to jerez, 37,5% alcohol,
contains a lot of additives, so aromas and flavors i will not discuss for this one,
will throw in rum & coke with lime !

By my deathless soul, the last thing a pirate needs be a math-teachin' rum! Lookee here, swabs, there not be much of a smell on this one, but if ya pull in real close - like yer about to board another ship - ya get oak and brown sugar, but there also be somethin' savory jumpin' out from the shadows here and there to stab ya a bit. Not quite buttery and not quite meat... sweat maybe? Ya heard me right: sweat. Bein' on a busy ship, sweat be somethin' ya get used to, but this does have me wonderin' if this be a quartermaster-flavored rum. If ya stick around long enough, ya also get a hint of tart, like cherries blacker than my soul. On the tongue, she be a dry rum for sure! Aye, she has a nice body about her, and that first taste be clear and smooth. Somethin' ya want hangin' around forever, but no. All that lovely fades into a sherry bitterness. At the very, VERY end, there be a surprising hint of tobacco. A nice touch on an otherwise mediocre rum. Be there burn? Aye, but have another shot and you'll forget all about it. She improves the more ya drink. As sippin' rums go, I give her a 3 for appearance, a 2 for smell, a 3 for flavor, and a 5 for burn. 3+2+3+5 = 6. Arrgh...

You don't remember their name but they remember yours...You walk away wondering who you just talked to and it drives you crazy for the rest of your day and beyond. It wasn't terrible, nor awesome. To me, a borderline mixer vs. sipper. But worth trying for sure!

Nice, approaching very good. Not much to say because this was overshadowed by its older 5+5 sibling.

Ya en nariz cuesta determinar que madera es...es un roble tan sutil......en boca no tiene ninguna fuerza, y los que encuentran vainilla y otras cosas( hace falta imaginación) me gustaría saber donde, personalmente creo que son los grados y es que con 37'5 no hay mucho que hacer, me parece un fraude, no mes ha costado mucho 12'95€ pero aún así deberían prohibir llamar ron a algo con menos de 40 grados y más a "esto"....bueno lo de la botella es de "nota" 50 cl, me reafirmó en el fraude por no llamarlo m......
Ni regalado.

Al naso barile, vaniglia, sherry, frutti secchi e qualcosa di liquirizia.
Al palato delicato con vaniglia, leggero bosco, sherry e spezie sul finale medio. Interresante chi ha trovato note di sapone, in effetti ha qualcosa che lo ricorda vagamente per la consistenza e il gusto. Purtroppo gli manca profondità e corpo, ma non è male

This label is not my cup of tea... blame me, but it is what it is.

I only had a glass of this, mind you. It was decent, but lacking. Good, but wouldn't order it again.

Tasted at Laka Lono July 17, 2022
It's a bad sign when a rum is labeled "double aged," what does that mean??
The aroma - cedar
The taste - I am sad to report that this rum tastes like yarn.
Re-taste July 16, 2023 upgrading my rating to a 5/10 because it is quite nice in a lime Rickey
Revisited August 30 2023 in Dax from at Laka Lono Kill Devil rum club. still tastes like yarn.
