How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy its clean, light vanilla‑caramel profile and great mixing potential. Critics find it thin and a bit simple. Consensus: a well-made, beginner-friendly Spanish-style mixer and casual sipper.
If you’re moving up from basic Bacardi-style rums, this is a smart upgrade: similar light profile, but better distillate quality and more oak/vanilla character, especially in Mojitos and Daiquiris.
Fans of high-ester funk, cask strength power or very complex sippers; anyone wanting a rich, oily mouthfeel or zero-compromise sipping rum.

Sweet without being really sweet. Very tasty, straightforward with the necessary depth. Very pleasant wood notes.
Don Q makes light, very light rum. Who expects flavor bombs is wrong here, neither full-bodied rum nor super heavy (and sweetened) wood can be found here. The star is the distillate, which comes elegant and delicate. Tasted neat, aromas of dried yellow fruits and wood show up, in the mouth a champagne-like quality is added, a touch of oleo saccharum combines with pear and the yellow fruits to create a wonderful delicate creaminess. The 40% unfortunately negates this somewhat.The finish is again a bit more tart and woody, delicate tannins and en touch of tobacco complete the picture. This is super crafted, pure but still very unspectacular. This rum is a mixer, but a mixer with star qualities. As a component in tiki drinks, it remains far in the background, where it belongs. It makes a super mojito, to which the light wood gives a great depth. The Old Cuban could become the signature drink, it combines perfectly with mint and champagne (or other brut sparkling wine). That's where it really takes off. If you're looking for a dry Spanish mixer that puts the distillate front and center, this is it. I'm a fan (neat: 70/cocktail:86): 78
Tasting Artur's Puerto Rico rums. A nose so different from the others that I thought of a pirate. Esters, tropical fruits, mango and varnished wood. We're in another world here. A lively palate with esters, tropical fruit, flowers, nuts and a rather massive wood. A long finish for the first time in this tasting.
Very finely distilled with 40 percent of course a little thin but since I have it in a mojito at the same time, thanks to the community, you can immediately see where this rum shines. It does what it's supposed to do there - deliver flavors without dominating. Great mixer 👍 Pure, the sherry cask is currently my favorite.
