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

Product Information

The region of Spain where the winery is located has a climate perfectly suited for wine and is known as Europe's wine cellar.

A peculiarity with this rum is that it start as English styled rum and finish up as a Latin styled rum in my opinion. Dos Maderas 5+5 PX begins its journey in the Caribbean, where we carry out a careful selection of rums from Guyana and Barbados. Molasses and baking spices jump out as well, and in particular the flavour of vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg seem to reach out at me. The Dos Maderas PX 5+5 rum has a dark amber color and an intense aroma of dried fruits, caramel, and vanilla. With that said, I can see some people getting into rum via trying this, just like a lot of current rum drinkers got into rum via Ron Zacapa “23.These certified rums, of the highest quality, are static aged for five years in casks that have previously been used to age Bourbon.

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. This rum is too sweet and has to much taste of the PX Sherry in my opinion, but it has been very enjoyable to follow the development of this rum from the base via 5 + 3 to 5 + 5 and see how this aging (and eventually some added flavors) have changed taste and appearance. In summary, the Dos Maderas PX 5+5 rum is an exceptional beverage that combines tradition and innovation in its production.Consequently, this has been a great find - sweet and smooth with the rich, dark fruit flavours I look for in a sipping rum (raisin, currants, fig) and a nice mouth-feel and finish.
