The result is a rich, dark amber rum that opens with fig and raisin before unfolding into ripe fruit, vanilla and molasses, layered with dates, prunes and orange peel. Warm spice such as allspice and clove threads throughout, wrapped in sherry character with wisps of smoky oak and a hint of tobacco leaf.
Generous and dessert-like yet balanced, Dos Maderas PX 5+5 is a sipping rum best enjoyed neat or over a single large cube of ice, and pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, coffee or a fine cigar.
