Dos Maderas Seleccion

What bothers me about this rum is the sweetness which dominates far too much. I'd say the 5+5 is better in comparison. The nose is smoky sherry with barrel to it. The palate is sweet, too sweet in my mind, a bit dry with fruit and spices. The finish is rather short with sticky sweetness and barrel topped with a bot of licorice. Too sweet for me.

Simply far too sweet for my taste and quickly gone in the end.

Revisiting after a year:Lot of sweetness,sugar added; if you don't mind sugar or if you particularly have at some point taste for something sweet, it is a nice sipping rum. Not sure if it is better than its cheaper 5+5.Taste and smell relates to cocoa,dark chocolate,caramel,vanilla,coffee- sort of sweet cappuccino with addition to more fruitines than 5+5.Higher voltage would make this rum even better cause it feels a bit diluted with almost no alcohol in the taste.Both are very similar but this one is even bit more sweet with hints of tuti fruti in the nose and also fruitier in the taste. Sweets/candies in rhe taste. It depends on what you prefer, I would rank them the same they are good if you are in the mood for something really sweet and full flavour in taste. Gotta try both with cigar.

I don't understand this rum and the popularity of the product. Far too sweet, not particularly exciting, no good alcohol integration and then a sticky finish, which is fortunately very short. It works quite well in a drink. Not for me neat.

The taste of this 10-year-old rum gives the first impression of a rounded, dry rum, then the delicate notes of white oak and the sweetness of the old Pedro Ximenez casks begin. Aftertaste: Very pleasant, long and sweet.

Süss süss, süss klebrig, bisschen spritig. Als digestiv zum dessert bestimmt möglich. Kann man mal machen, überfordert sicher keinen, aber nochmal wird es die flasche vermutlich nicht in meinen einkaufswagen schaffen

Part of a tasting from February 2021. This seems like a good beginner-rum, as it has a distinct sweetness to it, and the price is not too high. In the nose it's sweet, with hints of vanilla, and the taste-notes have a sherry-like sweetness.

For me, this is a small development on the Dos Maderas 5+5. Sherry, vanilla and a heavy sweetness on the nose. In the taste then also sherry with vanilla notes, sweet and viscous. A sweetened rum, but I find it very pleasant

I received this sample as a "present" with an online order. After tasting it, I wouldn't consider it a present. This is horrible stuff. Crazy artificially sweet. I could't even finish the dram I poured, so I poured it down the drain.

My first rum, and after years where I now prefer funky high esther rum the only sweet rum I regulary return to and still enjoy.

Very nice unexpected gift from my neighbour. Aroma is very sweet, to be honest to much for me. I noticed wood, spice, plums, honey and caramel. It supossed to be elegant, gantle rum but I noticed upleasant alcoholic scent. Taste on the other hand is elegant and subtle. I noticed sweet notes of caramel, wood and maybe little bit of smoke, but what I really liked was combination of dryness and sherry notes. Finish is short, dry, sweet with combination of that sherry flavor. Great rum, if you want to start your rum journey. I would appreciate it if there were less sweet tones in the rum and the rum had a higher ABV content so that the individual flavors had a chance to stand out

Again another very sweet rum - a sweet bomb if you will It’s the same notes as the 5+5 I reviewed - literally copy and paste. Even the ABV bump hasn’t helped the flavour profile, just makes it even more sickeningly sweet I’ve just reversed my Type 2 Diabetes however I can almost feel it coming back after having this!!! Not good for me and a brand I will avoid I’m afraid

Tons of molases in random rum

Nase ganz nett: Gebrannter Zucker und getrocknete Früchte. Geschmacklich dominiert für mich einfach nur Süße mit Rosinen oder getrockneten Früchten und auch der Abgang (mittellang) ist zu süß für mich..

Well-balanced blend, spicy and round. The wood remains on the tongue in the finish, overall very easy to drink.
