Destileria de Madrid Mentidero Ron Reserva (Sherry Cask)

Destileria de Madrid Mentidero Ron Reserva is a Spanish rum aged nine years and finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, a distillery bottling that leans hard into the sweet, sherried style favoured across much of Spanish rum culture. At 43% it has enough strength to carry the heavy cask influence.

The nose is classic sherry, sweet and spicy with sour cherry and vanilla, while the palate is intensely sweet on dried fruit, sherry and barrel, the PX cask leaving a pronounced sugary impression after nearly a decade of contact. The finish stays sweet, oaky and roasted. Whatever the dosage, the cask alone drives a markedly sweet profile, so this reads honestly as a dessert rum rather than a dry sipper. It suits drinkers who love sherry soaked sweetness and want a rum that drinks like a treat.
