The maturation process for this Caribbean rum begins in Barbados and Guyana, within oak casks of American oak. After five years, the rum is sent to Jerez de la Frontera where it is transferred to casks previously used to age 20 year sherry "Dos Cortados" and finished for an additional three years. Hence the name "5 + 3."

A nice sipping rum, nothing profound. With the price of this one being right in between plantation 5 year and diplomatico exclusiva I’d either save a buck and go with the former which is very similar or splurge and spring for the latter which is a notch above.
Vanilla, oak, coffee, grass, brown sugar, popsicle aroma. Smooth on the palate with vanilla, oak, toast, coffee and brown sugar flavors. A little heat at the finish.
Nose - grassy and light molasses and coffee Palate - light, spicy, some molasses and coffee
Sweet and oaky. The sugar cane was prevalent. Nice to sip on
Good rum but not as good as the Dos Maderas 5+5
Solid rum. Not overly sweet.
