"Pleasant spicy wood notes. Especially in the finish a lot of honey. Vanilla is neatly present. Fruit remains in the background. Alcohol is well integrated per se, but the finish is very intense. Beautiful glue nose."
"Alcohol could be much better integrated, cognac and wood influence for my taste too dominant. The predecessor single barrel from Don q was better... Above all never and never worth 60€"
"After Dirk on the HanseSpirit has raved about this rum or the family business behind DonQ, I've just accepted him times the half-full bottle. Spanish style with after all just under 50%. At the fair I found the finish in a cognac barrel not disturbing, but quite appropriate. Let's see how he is so.... Nose: at the beginning the alcohol stings a bit, then it becomes spicy-woody-fruity, green apple with sour cherry and apricot. Behind that light vinegar and some red pepper with nutmeg and vanilla. Milk chocolate out the back. Pleasant and approachable. 74 Palate: spicy-woody. Seems quite light at the start, but then gets a nice chocolaty texture. That cognac finish comes through clearly with peach and apricot. Overall approachable and a nice representative of the Spanish style. 78"
"Catching up on rum depot tasting. Under 50% but unpleasantly sharp on the palate. Overall not convincing."
