Dos Maderas 5 Years + 5 Years PX
Raisins, prunes and PX sherry lead here, with caramel, vanilla and a little dark chocolate behind them. Guyana-and-Barbados rum finished in Spanish sherry casks, 40%. Most people find it very sweet and round — great with dessert or a cigar. A few taste it as more sherry than rum, and several suspect added sugar. Divides beginners (who love it) from enthusiasts wanting more spirit character.
The community says- Rich sherry notes

How does Dos Maderas 5 Years + 5 Years PX taste?
Aggregated from 539 community reviews.
Very sweet, sherry-driven dessert sipper Loved as an easy, sweet sherry-forward sipper and a common beginner favorite. The recurring gripe: too sweet, the rum itself gets buried, and the 40% can feel a touch sharp.

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.

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.
Review by Konstantin Precht
Very well balanced, quite sweet but very smooth and a great daily sipper. The price is very fair and for beginners a great deal. On the palate some vanilla, a lot of raisins and sherry and a round and nicely balanced finish with caramel and sherry.
Review by Old Pirate 🏴☠️🇨🇿
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 :-)
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.
Review by Bennet
Mild und interessant, komplex.
Review by DomM
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.
Review by Malte
Sehr angenehm von der Nase bis in den Abgang, welcher für meinen Geschmack leider etwas zu kurz ausfällt.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,8: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. 7,2: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. 7,5:The finish is long. The aromas of tobacco, walnuts, prunes and oak, which we enjoyed earlier, are again present. Edit:28.9.25, a downgrade to 7,5.
Review by Sven Erbe
Anfangs in der Nase nicht besonders, aber Geschmack und Abgang überzeugen dann doch. Irgendwie ein schöner Sherry, leicht trocken im Geschmack und im Abgabg trockener und das ganze als Rum, irgendwie lecker
Review by Gregor
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.
Review by Sebi93
Ein milder abgerundeter angenehmer Rum mit langem positiven Nachgeschmack.
Review by Patrik Onderka
Nothing extraordinary, this one was a little sharp then pleasantly sweet on palate, rather indistinct mix of scents on nose. I felt raisins and vanilla the most. I tasted this as a sample, but know the bottle, it’s very affordable and pleasant for the price. A good start for beginners.
Review by DaErdi
Kommt holzig daher mit schönen Sherry-Noten. Kräftiger Geschmack, süss, Alkohol kommt aber auch durch, schön Ölig im Mundraum. Im Abgang schön süss und lange. Für mein Empfinden ein toller Rum.
Review by Oliver
Schöner Einstiegsrum. Alkohol aber recht ruppig integriert.
Review by Goodoboy30
This is one of the best rums out there. So good neat. Don't mix it.
Review by Ondra Blahovec
Jsou dny kdy je pro mě dos maderas jako balzám na nervy... sladší po sherry, ale v baru být musí.
Review by MarcT
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.

Dry fruit on the nose. Sweet and Well rounded on the palate with a long finish of raisins or prune

Read full review →It confuses the category. Some would say it adds variety - I disagree. It should be clear that this is dosed heavily with sherry and perhaps noted as a "flavoured" rum. In all fairness if I wanted to spend £40 on Sherry - I dare say I could get a...

For me too sweet and surprisingly alcoholic for the low ABV. In drinks quite good, pure not my case.
