    Don Q Puerto Rican Rum Gold Label (1980s) offers a fascinating glimpse into history with its rich blend of vanilla, orange peel, iodine, oak, and a hint of smokiness in its aroma. Aged for three years and crafted from molasses at the renowned Destilería Serrallés in Puerto Rico, its tasting profile reveals notes of orange peel, chocolate, bitter tobacco, and crisp apple. Our RumX community appreciates its unique historical character and evolving complexity, even if some find the flavor profile a bit polarizing.

    "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. Pomme et mirabelle au nez, bois léger. En bouche aussi on sent une grande amélioration par rapport à son petit frère de 1976 avec l’apparition de notes d’agrumes (zeste d’orange), des fruits plus marqués et un alcool bien mieux intégré. La finale intègre des fruits et une amertume boisée."

    "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!"
