Review by Werner10
Pretty good, not too sweet. Oaky finish
Review by Gregor
Really an extreme difference between the 5 3 and the 5 5.The 5 3 is quite characterless, way too weak and just soft-spoken.
Review by primus
Kleine Schwester vom Dos Maderas 5+5 Schmeckt angenehm, beim trinken denkt man: Ach, der könnte noch ein paar Jahre Sherryfass gebrauchen. Der 5+5 ist wohl die logische Konsequenz
Review by Jeppe Agerboe
Okay taste clean, not with ice as it needs warm to get the best taste of fruit and citrus, good as a average price mixer. Recommendable for all rum drinkers but not more than that.
Review by Stefan Persson
The base in this rum is a blend of 5yo rum from Guyana (DDL) and Barbados (a little unclear if it comes from WIRD or Foursquare, seen both data) aged in the Caribbean. I’ve taste this and I can clearly recognize Demerara at this stage. This base are after arriving to Jerez, Spain, aged for 3 more Solera years in barrels earlier contained Dos Cortados Sherry which is very dry. I think it’s quite good even if it can’t compete with my favorite Sherry finished rum, but it’s in my opinion much better than the 5+5.
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso barile, vaniglia, sherry, frutti secchi e qualcosa di liquirizia. Al palato delicato con vaniglia, leggero bosco, sherry e spezie sul finale medio. Interresante chi ha trovato note di sapone, in effetti ha qualcosa che lo ricorda vagamente per la consistenza e il gusto. Purtroppo gli manca profondità e corpo, ma non è male
Review by Wojtek K
could stay longer in sherry casks
Review by Carolyn
Vanilla and fruity/stone fruit. Blended seamlessly into fruity drinks while elevating the taste but does not really stand out.
Review by Kay Meertens
Nose is hardly there. Taste is OK with orange, apple and vanilla, but rather boring. What a difference with the 5 + 5. There was also a sample of the original blended rum before the '+3' in the same package that actually has more character in my opinion.
Review by Miňo
Nič moc. Cítim hlavne drevo s trochou vanilky a sušeného ovocia.
Review by Portman
Ich empfehle eher, den 5+5 mal zu testen.
Review by Pedro Jnv
Oproti 5+5 slabé, večer by som s týmto rumom nezačínal.
Review by Mc Pirate
Très beau nez légèrement vanillé, bouche diluée avec des esters, sans grand intérêt ! Finale courte
Review by Michal Flamik
