    Oh how i hoped you would be better. typical bourbon barrel notes in both nose and palate. a nice finish of spanish brandy. Daiquiri: This is the definitive Standard Daiquiri, there is nothing bad or good to say, it is just a Daiquiri. 2,5/5 Stars

    The liquid History of Puerto Rico - vielen Dank an Artur für die Teilung! Nicht schlecht, aber etwas dünn, etwas Holz und Vanille.

    Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Eine Reihe von DonQs im Wandel über die Jahrzehnte, angefangen aus den 50ern im Vergleich zum aktuellen Release. Überraschenderweise ist der neuste auch der Beste, deutlich fruchtiger und intensiver zubeinem guten Kurs. spannend!

    5,6:On the nose, the first impression is a thin, alcoholic rum, but a bit fresh with citrus at first, with roasted wood notes becomes buttery, caramelized, yellow fruits and tobacco find a way out later. 6:On the palate, the attack is sweet, but light, diluted with burnt sugar, buttery caramel, vanilla and some coconut. 5,7:The finish is medium long, alcoholic, dry with wood spice, buttery with some caramel and faint coconut...
