Destilería Serrallés Don Q Cristal 5yr 40%

RX3199 Pleasant Column Still Rum Under 50€

Savor the distinct qualities of Don Q Cristal, a unique rum from the renowned Destilería Serrallés distillery in Puerto Rico. Masterfully crafted from Molasses through a Column Still distillation, this exceptional blend carries a subtle hint of green apple, vanilla, and ginger, effortlessly complemented by an underlying alcoholic aroma. On the palate, experience a perfectly balanced mix of apple, lemon, and vanilla, married beautifully with notes of young wood. With a soft, smooth finish, akin to an elevated vodka drink, this 5-year-old rum subtly evidences its aging process. Ideal for crafting refreshing Daiquiris or a full-bodied Mojito with a dash of bitters, Don Q Cristal is an affordable step up from standard mix rums. Unearthing a nearly invisible yet discernible rum aroma, embrace the unobtrusive charm of this crystalline spirit. If you're seeking a rum with a delightful subtlety, look no further than Don Q Cristal.

“What to write about a rum whose marketing text that writes here: "a touch more smoothness. So smooth, in fact, that you can substitute Cristal in a vodka drink, and most won't be able to tell the difference. "It's a rum from a time when rum was supposed to taste like vodka. It does that perfectly. It's almost invisible, yet it has a noticeable rum aroma. In a mojito with a drop of bitters, it cuts a fine figure - even if I prefer the Reserva.Still, how do you rate a rum (almost) without characteristics? At the self-set standard, he does well.”

“Pure quite nice. At the price you can not complain. In any case, X times better than Bacardi / Havana Club and other "cheap" white mix rums! For Daiquiri and Cuba libre if's little cost but still taste the masses goes all times absolutely clear.”

“Essentially rum-flavored vodka. A bit harsh on the nose with faint apple and ginger elements. On the palate soke lemon peel joins the party. Very light, short finish. Nothing offensive (except for the alcoholic sharpness on the nose) and about what you’d expect for a young Puerto Rican.”
