Dos Maderas PX 5+5

Very good sweet smell. Taste also sweet, hangs in your mouth for a good time.

First of all, if you don't like sherry or sherry aroma, you should keep your hands off this rum. But if you get involved, you will find a great, pleasantly sweet and mild rum with a wonderful sherry aroma. At the beginning I was a bit sceptical because I generally don't drink sherry very often, but this rum is something different. Not too sweet, hardly any alcoholic bite and a sherry note that is not too strong and harmonizes wonderfully with the other flavours. Nearly full score!

With ice it dilutes a little too much so go easy I'll try the frozen soapstone cubes

Dark beautiful colour in the glass. Nose: coffee, chocolate and exotic fruits. Palate: Brown sugar, chocolate and plums. Great rum, thumbs up!

Verkostete zuvor Rum aus Guyana und Barbados, beide ohne Zusatzstoffe und sehr lecker !
Und nun Beide gemixt, in Sherry Fässer gefüllt und gezuckert 36gr/l - na und ?
Kein Problem, ein komplett neues Erlebnis entsteht !
Ein wunderschönes dunkelrotes Mahagoni im Glas.
Die frischen fruchtigen Düfte des Barbados Rum erreichen die Nase zuerst, gefolgt von herben Holznoten eines Sherry Fasses die die fruchten Noten unterstreicht.
Im Gaumen, ein schön warmes Mundgefühl sehr süss. Die würzigen Aromen vom Demerara Rum stehen im Vordergrund, schön eingepackt in holzigen Sherry Aromen ein perfektes Zusammenspiel.
Im Abgang dominieren die Sherry Fässer begleitet von einer fruchtigen Süsse.
Ein gut gemachter, aber auch sehr süsser Rum den jeder der Diplomatico/Zacapa/Zaya/El Dorado liebt einmal im Glas haben sollte.

Tasted previously rum from Guyana and Barbados, both without additives and very tasty!
And now both mixed, filled in sherry barrels and sweetened 36gr / l - so what ?
No problem, a completely new experience arises!
A beautiful dark red mahogany in the glass.
The fresh fruity fragrances of the Barbados rum reach the nose first, followed by tart notes of a sherry barrel which highlights the fruit notes.
In the palate, a nice warm mouthfeel and very sweet. The spicy aromas of the Demerara Rum stand in the foreground, beautifully packed in woody sherry aromas, a perfect match.
In the finish dominate the sherry barrels accompanied by a fruity sweetness.
A well-made, but also very sweet rum, which everyone who loves Diplomatico / Zacapa / Zaya /
El Dorado should once have in the glass.

At first nose it burns with a very sweet scent of sugar or something. Taste like Remy Martin VSOP or some type of cognac in the front and then sweet raisins and Sherry. It's a very full body with syrup like after taste. The after taste lingers, I had a beef burger prior to popping the top, it I think it helped my palet accept the different flavors. I didn't use my snifter so I'll revisit the 👃 at a later date. It does resemble diplomatic reserve exclusiva in sweetness but two different tastes.

To be honest I could drink this as a regular daily sipper. I tried it neat as I like all my rums so I can not give commentary on what water or ice gives or takes away. I would choose Foursquare Port no sugar over this any day or time of year. If you can find it for less then 40$ I would get it if above 40$ I wouldn't get it I would reach for Foursquare 11 year all day.

After reading reviews I wasn't sure what to expect. Let it breath for about 30 minutes, and I was a little scared how much it smelled like sherry and not rum but it's the closet thing to heaven I've ever experienced.

Dark brown, mahogany. Soft but strong aroma, oak and barrel softnes. Dried fruits and light laquer. Thick mouthfeel, soft nuts, dried fruits.

"Er isch nit schlecht" hat sie gsagt die Birgit 😊 genießen ihn grad auf der Terasse

Great choice for an evening with friends, even rum tasting beginners. The PX cask gives him some nice new additions for complexity
