How does this rum taste?
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. This rum provides an authentic sensory journey that reflects decades of tradition and offers a treat for those interested in exploring the legacy of fine Puerto Rican spirits.

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.
5,8:On the nose, we first notice a leather, a wood is spicy, there is a vanilla, from fruits, orange peel and an apple are present. 6,2:On the palate, the attack is quite pleasant with roasted wood notes like caramel, chocolate, smoky and spicy as a molasses brings some tobacco.The fruits are dried, orange peel and apple repeated from the nose. 5,6:The finish is medium long, thin with same fruits, wood spices, caramel and a bit metallic...
Rum No. 9 Eine Spur besser als No.8 Vielen Dank Artur für diese Mega-Split Reise durch Rums aus Puerto Rico. Danke auch für die Arbeit die du für uns immer wieder auf dich nimmst und alte Flaschen für uns möglich machst! 😊
