“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.”

“The base in this rum is a 5yo blend from Guyana and Barbados aged in the Caribbean. I’ve tasted this blend and clearly recognize Demerara. After that it’s aged for 3 Solera years in Spain in Dos Cortados Sherry (very dry) barrels. Thereafter it’s aged for 2 more Solera years in former PX Sherry (very sweet) barrels. Have also read that they add a little PX Sherry (unconfirmed). These two years and the eventual added flavors give it an significant sweet Sherry taste that I don’t appreciate.”

“Well… this is very sweet and strongly sherry forwards. I don’t get much character of the rum out of this release tbh. Nevertheless, the sherry influence is intense, but nicely executed. If you are in the mood for something sweet and sherry, this is better than some „highly estimed“ sherry (finished) single casks, where disappointment of an overwhelming sherry influence covering the underlying spirit is the dominating experience. Here you get what you‘d expect. Not more but also nothing less.”

“Mit 40% kommt er doch sehr intensiv daher. Die süße ist angenehm und nicht zu intensiv. Leider überdeckt das px cask den destillateigengeschmack wenn denn einer vorhanden ist. Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist super.”

“A sweet Rum, mainly due to to Sherry and as one might think some additional sugar. Maybe they just use some very "wet" Sherry casks... It is quite mainstream and thus divides the opinion for casual drinkers and enthusiasts, something to keep in mind when looking for the score. It's mild, a bit shy on the nose with every other influence other than the Sherry, but thats to be expected. On the tongue sweet (but I had sweeter), Sherry, some Molasses. More an aperitif than a sipper. I cannot imagine this as a mixer.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Milder süßer Rum, das PX Cask hat deutlichen Einfluss genommen wobei ich denke dass auch nachgesüßt wurde. Bei der Farbe wurde auf jeden Fall nachgeholfen. Für mich zu süß aber vielleicht genau das richtige für Einsteiger.”

“Le Dos Maderas PX 5+5 est un rhum au triple vieillissement. Le premier vieillissement de 5ans, tropical, de la Barbade et la Guyana, très anglais donc. Ensuite 5ans de plus en Espagne, 3 ans dans des fûts de Palo Cortado, ensuite 2 ans de plus dans des fûts de sherry Pedro Ximenez. Un rhum intéressant, grâce à ses multiples vieillissement et provenance, il permettra de passer de rhum plus classique à des rhums plus complexes.”

“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”
