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.

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.
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 zu einem guten Kurs. Spannend!
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!
Oh how the 80's really worsened the Don Q experience. Neutral alcohol overboarding the standard PR Profile. This really comes closer to bad old bacardis. Daiquiri: now nosw, and som off putting alcoholic notes. 1/5 Stars
