    Tasting of Artur's Puerto Rico rums. Little aroma on the nose, yellow fruit, wood and vanilla. The palate is aromatic and fruity, with plums and mirabelle plums. Sweetness follows, with vanilla and well-integrated wood. The finish is short, with wood and plum remaining. The best Don Q of the series, even if the nose is too discreet.

    The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 12 - in der Nase alkoholischer als sein Vorgänger, im Gaumen besser mit mehr Vanille und leichten Holzaromen. PLV ist für den Preis echt gut. Kann in Glühwein rein

    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!

    6,2:On the nose, the first impression we get is fruity with tropical, yellow fruits, an apple and citrus. We have some wood notes as caramel, spicy vanilla and sweet honey. 6,4:On the palate, the attack is pleasant and dry with wood notes like vanilla, some like mirabelle plum, citrus and it comes out a bit sweet. 6,5:The finish is medium long with woody notes, a bit tannic and fruits as citrus and plum...
