The Don Q Signature Release is a masterfully crafted rum from Destileria Serralles in Puerto Rico, distilled in 2007 from molasses using a Column Still. This exceptional rum boasts a maturation period of nearly 10 years, having been aged in white American oak barrels before being bottled in a limited quantity in 2016. With an ABV of 40% and a size of 700 ml, the Don Q Single Barrel 2007 showcases the skillful artistry of Master Distiller Jaiker Soto, who personally selected the barrels for this release. The aroma of this golden-hued rum is captivating, with enticing notes of dried fruit, honey, baked apple, vanilla, and a subtle hint of wine. On the palate, you can expect a harmonious blend of barrel, honey, baked apple, light vanilla, and a fruity profile. This Puerto Rican gem is renowned for its fruitiness, sweetness, and slightly woody character. The Don Q Single Barrel 2007 is a middle-proof rum that balances elegance and complexity, featuring prominent oak and citrus notes on the nose, reminiscent of honey and quince. The palate delivers a balanced, unsweetened, and slightly spicy flavor, followed by hints of orange, citrus, and quince. With only 420 bottles available for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, this refined rum is best enjoyed neat or in classic cocktails such as a Sazerac. The warm and full-bodied palate, rich tannins, and round finish make this Signature Release Single Barrel 2007 a truly remarkable rum.
