    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.

    5.6/10 19 reviews

    A really straightforward but boring rum, that really shines in technical flawlessnes, the rest standard and expected. Daiquiri: weridly no nose at all. Buta palate full of fruity orange that you bite with the peel. 4/5 Stars.

    The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 9 - junges Holz, Süße/ Karamell und Vanille sehr dominant, aber besser als seine älteren Abfüllungen. Kommt immer noch etwas wässrig rüber. Alkohol trotz der nur 40% etwas dominant

    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.

    Eine schöne Nase und ein rundes Profil. Leider wieder schlecht integrierter Alkohol.
