The Maderas 5+3 wasn't bad. Not as full bodied as the Kirk and Sweeney 23, but I guess you would expect that to be the case when comparing an 8 y.o. rum with a 23 y.o. rum. The 5+3 wasn't as sweet, either. Had a bit of spicy smoke to it.
Tonight I cracked open the Aberlour 12. I like it. Considerably lower in price than the 18, but doesn't leave much on the table. Good choice for a DD, I think.
