Dos Maderas 5 Years + 5 Years PX

8:On the nose... quite a lot. There's fruit: fresh grapes, banana, peaches, candied prunes and nuts, followed by almonds after a while. The barrel is there too, offering well-balanced oak and tobacco notes. Overall, it offers an interestingly dry, gourmand impression. 8:On the palate, we find tobacco and walnut, with candied fruit also present but a little in the background. The whole is soft, but well-balanced with alcohol. 8:The finish is long. The aromas of tobacco, walnuts, prunes and oak, which we enjoyed earlier, are again present.

At 40%, it is very intense. The sweetness is pleasant and not too intense. Unfortunately, the px cask masks the distillate's own flavor, if there is one. Price-performance ratio is super.

Beautiful and quite complex rum. The sugar substitute is still moderate and makes it extremely smooth. The PX sherry influence keeps it lively on the tongue and is really enjoyable.

05.2024 Erster Eindruck: Reiche fruchtige Aromen, tiefe rotbraune Farbe Nase: sehr fruchtig, PX sehr präsent Gaumen: weich, rund, aromatisch, namengebende 50/50 Rum und PX, Trockenfrüchte und Holz Abgang: Mittelkurz und unaufgeregt, Holz Gesamteindruck: ich hatte ihn noch spannender in Erinnerung, immerhin war das einer ersten Rums mit PX-Finish. Meine ursprüngliche Bewertung von 8,3 senke ich auf 7,8, weil ich ich mittlerweile jüngere Rums bevorzuge, die noch frischer und deutlich fruchtiger sind. 2022 keine qualifizierte Bewertung

This specific 3 times aged (5+3+2) rum is something, that you must try. Yes, it's sweet, full of raisins and some cookies but it is complex, warm, tasty with little strong end. Mostly enjoyable in cold evenings after hard work with legs on table and good cigar :-)

Very fruity. Prunes and raisins. Very sweet as well. Also dark chocolate and spices. I also love the sherry influence 👌 Good stuff imo

Nose is sweet and reminiscent of port or sherry which is a leading indicator of what is to come. The mouth is sweet and sickly, immediately too much and in to rum liquor territory. The main mouth notes are raisins and sugar with a medium finish with treacle and wine on the end of the mouth. Ultimately it is too sweet for me, it’s like a Madeira or Port with some rum elements and doesn’t quite come together in a package that I want to drink

Interesting how you can taste the Spanish influence from the sherry casks. I could have sworn I was tasting a brandy.

Goût très différent des rhums habituels Très agréable en bouche. Finale moyenne ronde Bien fruité

Tried this one as a part of a bigger tasting in 2021. Likely tasted it before, but this time I scribbled down experiences. Has a sweetness in the nose and hints of sherry. Sweet and smooth notes of dried fruits

Really sweet. Lot's of chocolate, cocoa and coffee in both taste and smell. Hint of raisins on the background but to me I have and always will remember this rum as a cocoa and coffee flavour. It is a nice sipper. Full body, lots of flavour, short to medium finish. Great value for the money.

The taste is sweet, a little honey, vanilla, notes of sherry, wood. Long-lasting aftertaste 👍😁

ja, sehr deutliche Sherry Noten, aber nicht so super dominant wie manche sie empfinden. Die Frage der Süßung scheint ein Rätsel zu sein, der Abfüller behauptet, dass keinerlei Zucker hinzugegeben ist und der Zucker allein aus den Sherryfässern in den Rum gelangt. Bei der Menge habe ich daran aber so meine Zweifel. Lecker isser aber!

Ein ausgewogener, fruchtig, süßer Rum mit leicht holzigen Noten. Lässt sich sehr gut trinken.

Retaste this one and it's a very mild well rounded rum that I think can be used for beginners as well. Draws very nice curtains and the empty glass is full of flavours.
