Bodega Williams & Humbert Dos Maderas 5 Years + 3 Years
Most enjoy its soft vanilla, sherry and easy drinking; critics find it watery, short and lacking character, especially versus the 5+5. Consensus: simple, pleasant starter or mixer, not a deep sipper.
Those new to rum who like gentle, slightly sweet sherry and vanilla notes and want an easy, undemanding pour that also works smoothly in simple mixed drinks.

How does this rum taste?
Soft sherry starter, better as mixer
If you’re curious about sherry-influenced rum but don’t want anything strong or challenging yet, this is a soft, low-risk starting point that many use as an everyday mixer.
Enthusiasts seeking depth, strong ABV or pronounced character; anyone who already enjoys the more intense Dos Maderas 5+5 will likely find this too thin and short.

Pretty good, not too sweet. Oaky finish
Really an extreme difference between the 5 3 and the 5 5.The 5 3 is quite characterless, way too weak and just soft-spoken.
Auto-translatedKleine Schwester vom Dos Maderas 5+5 Schmeckt angenehm, beim trinken denkt man: Ach, der könnte noch ein paar Jahre Sherryfass gebrauchen. Der 5+5 ist wohl die logische Konsequenz
Okay taste clean, not with ice as it needs warm to get the best taste of fruit and citrus, good as a average price mixer. Recommendable for all rum drinkers but not more than that.
