The Don Q Double Cask Cognac Finish is a distinguished blend of single and multi-column-still rums from Puerto Rico, brought to you by the esteemed family-owned Destilería Serrallés. This rum, with a limited release of 4500 bottles, is aged for five to eight years in American oak barrels and further refined for two years in ex-Cognac casks. With an ABV of 49.6%, this exceptional rum showcases the expertise and tradition of Serrallés, a brand that has been crafting premium Puerto Rican rums since 1865 in the city of Ponce.
This elegant and sophisticated rum presents a deep, dark color with a complex bouquet of aromas and flavors derived from its meticulous aging process. The nose is greeted with enticing notes of brown sugar and dried mango, transitioning to a palate rich with oak tannins, nutmeg, and cloves. The finish is rich, rounded, and slightly astringent, leaving lingering hints of sweet molasses and dried fruit.
The two-year finishing process in former Cognac casks imparts a unique character to this rum, reminiscent of double-matured whiskies from Scotland. This creates a spirit that is both complex and charming, with a delightful balance of oak, fruit, and spice. The Don Q Double Cask Cognac Finish is a superior blend of Puerto Rican rums, aged to perfection and finished in ex-Cognac casks. Its complex flavor profile and elegant character make it a must-try for rum enthusiasts and a standout addition to any spirits collection.
