    How does this rum taste?

    Don Q Gold offers a glimpse into Puerto Rico's rich rum tradition. Distilled from molasses at the renowned Destilería Serrallés, its sweet aroma combines hints of vanilla, citrus, and plum. Our RumX community notes that while the nose delights with these inviting scents, the palate can sometimes feel diluted, exhibiting a sour edge, burnt sugar, and young wood nuances. Some appreciate its easy mixability and historical character, although others miss more complexity compared to vintage expressions. Overall, this spirit sparks genuine conversations among rum enthusiasts and offers a taste of Puerto Rican heritage, making it a worthwhile experience for those curious about its unique character.

    06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Erstmal vielen Dank an Artur für die extreme Mühe und dass du teilweise so alte Rums überhaupt teilst. Die Rums selber waren jetzt bis auf ein paar wenige Ausnahmen nicht wirklich der Knaller, ABER mir hat es trotzdem sehr gut gefallen, da man solche Rums überhaupt nicht mehr ins Glas bekommt als Normalsterblicher und dieses ganze Hintergrundwissen das Artur geteilt hat finde ich wahnsinnig interessant. Da ziehe ich wirklich den Hut davor. Dicker Respekt!

    Dégustation des rhums de Puerto Rico d’Artur. Un nez de bonbon, d’alcool de prune, de végétal fermenté et d’agrumes. La bouche est diluée, alcoolique, acide et les fruits peinent à apparaître. La finale est courte mais des fruits restent un peu, de l’orange et de la prune.

    3:On the nose, the first impression we get is alcoholic, there is some polish, sweetness, vanilla, from fruits citrus and perhaps plum. 2,5:On the palate, the attack is alcoholic, bitter, diluted and sour with burnt sugar, vanilla and wood spice. 2,3:The finish is short with wood spice, vanilla, orange and tannins...

    The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 10 - "gepanschter" Rum. Kein Fan davon. Ihm fehlt einfach alles was man sonst im Rum sucht. Bildet wohl genau das ab, was man in billigen all-inclusive Hotels bekommt
