The Don Q Oak Barrel Spiced Rum, at 45% ABV and 700ml, hails from the renowned Destileria Serralles in Puerto Rico—a region of the USA not usually associated with rum production. This distinctive spiced rum is aged for a minimum of three years in oak barrels and infused with a bespoke blend of cinnamon, vanilla, clove, and nutmeg. These spices are prominently featured, accompanied by warm caramel and a hint of coffee, creating a rich and engaging flavor profile.
Upon nosing, the rum reveals a spectrum of aromas, starting with light rum notes framed by heavily toasted oak barrels, roasted coffee, and charcoal, which mellow into inviting caramel nuances. The palate is rounded and gently spiced, with charred wood providing a roasted backdrop to the coffee and scorched spices, eventually giving way to more delicate, pastry-like spices.
The Don Q Oak Barrel Spiced Rum stands out by maintaining its rum character while enhancing it with natural flavors from vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. The unadulterated aging process in oak barrels and its 45% ABV lend it a robust character that enhances its overall flavor profile.
This spiced rum is a promising newcomer that will undoubtedly impress fans of spiced and flavored spirits. It's versatile and can be enjoyed neat, over ice, or as a component in mixed drinks. With its distinct flavors and smooth finish, the Don Q Oak Barrel Spiced Rum is a must-try for rum enthusiasts seeking something new and exciting.
