Dos Maderas PX 5+5

You can certainly taste the sherry finish. I like sherry finished expressions. But the sherry does not make it to the nose. In fact, the nose is disapointingly bland. just a wisp of vanilla and nothing more. A muddled dark amber color is not inviting either. The tast is quite good. You can immidiately tell its rum. So many things calling themselves rum don't taste anything like rum. (Are you paying attention Kenny Chesney?) This is not Blue Chair Bay. This IS RUM . The sherry and vanilla dominate but there is a subtle raisin and cocoa sweetness here too. Not too sweet. Lightly sweet with coffee notes in the background. Very good with some muted complexity. You can taste the effects of aging but it falls a little short of what you might expect for a 12 year old crafted non-solera rum. Smooth for sure. Bite just fades brilliantly. But it is quite thin. Mouth fell is not good. Finish much shorter than I was expecting. This is an intricate and flavorful rum that is close to greatness but the viscosity, nose and finish just do not measure up. It is actually a little better on ice than neat, which is never a good sign to me. This is likely due to the ice making it seem thicker. All in all a tasty sipple rum that has some flaws.

Quality rum. The aging in two sherry cask give this rum a fabulous flavour and aroma

Sweet, smooth, definitely some sherry influence. A little bit of baking spices on the mid-palate. Short, sweet finish. Not quite as good as the Luxus from the same brand, but an excellent sipper.

I really enjoy this bottle, but not as “rum” so to speak. The flavor is intense with raisin and prune, almost like a port. Definitely has some added sugar, which I feel is not needed. Some oak present which adds to the complexity… but still not really rum to me. I will likely buy it again as an after-dinner sipper, but it will take a while to get through this bottle.

Príjemný rum s dozvukom po sherry, sladkastý.. odporúčam pre tých, čo chcú zmenu

One of my favourite rums. I recommend it without hasitation. Sweet and tasty.

very rich cherry flavor, sometimes very sweet, but surprisingly I didn't mind it at all

A wonderfully full-bodied rum suitable for evening sipping. The taste is full of raisins and figs with a sweet finish with hints of vanilla

First strong spicy alcohol taste kicks in. After a while, I can feel taste od sweet molasses and rummy cane sugar with a pinch of old cask wood.

To be honest, based on the reviews I expected a little bit more. Maybe it is just my current mood, but this rum does not work so well. But, it has amazing smell, you can literally feel cane sugar around you.

Really good taste and color, nice fruit finish. Sweet. 6/10
