Don Q Signature Release Single Barrel 2005

This was an great rum. I had it a few years back before I learned how to appreciate good spirits more. Sadly it’s gone, but I have the 2007 waiting in queue. The flavor were good, but if you have the opportunity to try one of Don Qs Double or Aged casks releases, give it a try. Bouts the Vermouth and Sherry are very good.

Well rounded, oaky. Complex and interesting palette.

This rum to me is an argument for the importance of the rum maestro. This one note dry rum with a fair amount of heat could be a key ingredient to a great blend. As it is, a really a good cocktail rum, but not a sipper.

Excellent. Reminds me of a good bourbon with just a slight bit more rum sweetness. More spice than usual on a rum. Very enjoyable.
