Dos Maderas PX 5+5 Rum (1 x 0.7 l)

Product Information

The Dos Maderas (5+5) PX arrives in a clear glass bottle which (in some markets) is encased in a nice cardboard canister.

Had a sample of this in a box of 5 which my husband rated highly so picked up a bottle for him for Christmas. But, I fear that getting into rum through this route would just get most stuck with brands known to sweeten their rum such as Don Papa and Diplomatico. No tenían la botella de 70cl que pedí y me mandaron 2 de 50cl sin preguntar y sin perder tiempo como hacen en otras partes. Alexander Williams, a great connoisseur and admirer of sherry products, and Arthur Humbert, a specialist in international relations. While it may not be an immediate staple choice for my galley, I have filled a 10 ounce bottle of it to revisit at a later date.

The individual distillates are matured for 5 years in the Caribbean before they mature for a further three years in former Dos Maderas 5+3 rum barrels. From nose to the medium long finish I recognize the sweet PX Sherry, raisins, vanilla, fruits and quite many other notes. This three-step aging process is very unique and brings to the rum a very interesting new taste profile.

I finally tried this rum yesterday and think I will really enjoy it, it’s nice and smooth and it helps to have some notes to go along with it so that I can see how the tastes would be described.

Initially, it promised to be a new member of my galley staples…… nice rich nose, full body, classy presentation etc…… but like you, something in the flavor profile just left me confused. The bottling serves up delightful notes of leather, sweet dried fruits, molasses, crumbling brown sugar, dark vanilla, chocolate, nutmeg, orange peel, walnuts, cloves, dark oak, toffee, and espresso.I’m just curious, you say that it tastes very much like sherry (something I know very little about), what brand of sherry would you recommend to someone who enjoys the Dos Maderas?

You’re most likely familiar with the company through brands under them such as Alfonso brandy, Zafiro gin, and their various sherries. Mi problema (Y repito --MI-- problema) es que no me gustan los rones dulces, siendo los Dominicanos de los mas dulces que he probado. I myself rather enjoy sherry once in a blue moon (as well in cocktails) so I’ll probably pick up a bottle for the collection.The Dos Maderas (5+5) PX is a rum of Caribbean origin ( Barbados and Guyana to be exact), which after first aging in for five years in American oak casks in the Caribbean, is then transported to Spain to spend an additional five years in Spanish oak (sherry casks). S. FDA (as I’ve been told by brand owners), they won’t allow this because consumers might mistake the additives on the label as some sort of supplement. There was a glass tumbler as a gift which wad placed inside the box over the bottle neck, of course when it was delivered the glass was smashed. What is keeping the score from pushing up into the 90s is that the rum tastes just as much like a sherry as it does like a rum.

The aroma which rises from the glass is full of rich caramel, pungent dry fruit, and sweet candied baking spices. This time, I’m going to talk about a rum brand who isn’t and rum brands in general who aren’t entirely transparent with the sweetening of their products. Even if they mention it to every attendee in a tasting, what about those who aren’t able to and haven’t attended any tastings? Experience has taught me that perhaps the most consistent thing for my palate to do, is to change it’s mind.My only quibble is that my bottle has a clear plastic label (rather than the darkly coloured brownish red label shown to the left). While many of my favorite Rums have spent some time hanging out in used Sherry casks, they haven’t lost their primary identity as a RUM.
