Love your review, unfortunately the Dos M's for sale down here in South Florida are still too pricey (at The Rum Project - linked above - we tend to believe and favor the notion that great rums do not have to require a mortgage). ... As a suggestion (and I know you'll agree) I'd point your readers to Richard Seales Doorly's XO which is finished in sherry. This rum is absolutely pure (no "tweaking") and you can experience what just the right amount of sherry (finishing only) can do. Best yet is that the XO is extremely affordable, about $20 here. ...Personally, I'm skeptical of a rum that has spent 5 years in a sherry barrel, sound more than a bit much. But we haven't tasted it and want to give it a fair try. Meanwhile we await a sale... … Love your review, unfortunately the Dos M’s for sale down here in South Florida are still too pricey (at The Rum Project – linked above – we tend to believe and favor the notion that great rums do not have to require a mortgage).
