Don Q Gran Reserva Anejo XO

Dejlig smagfuld og en fornøjelse at nyde - endnu en fast must have i sit sortiment 👍

Tasted 3/28/21 at Laka Lono, after about a years absence. Whew!
Sipped, and then consumed more fully in daiquiri form.
This rum has a smoky essence to it and is delicious.

Good to sip or drink with ice, not overly sweet or harsh, lacks a bit of flavor.

A great PR rum. Pleasant on the nose. Taste is very smooth, not overpowering. A great sipper.

A more golden rum by color it is easy to sip on. Smooth and somewhat bland in flavor. Not to bland though, there are some complexities that are very nice. I’d buy again for sure.

This is pretty easy to drink, it's fairly sweet, and it's easily the best Don Q product that I've ever had. It smells inoffensive, which is uncommon for Don Q in my experience and it reminds me of other good rums I've had. I'd recommend it!

Another top rum from Don Q.
After Special release 2009 this will be my favorite.

The nose is strong, white oak, grapefruit and other citrus fruits, elderberry flowers, notes of dark chocolate, and a hint of tobacco. The taste starts with mildly sweet citrus fruits, pineaple, honey, ends with white oak, pleasantly fills the mouth with its bitter-sweet magic. The aftertaste is lasting spicy-bitter grapefruit and other citruses, with woody end. All and all, it is quite similar to its younger brother 7y, with deeper and fuller body and more wood in it. Real pleasure to drink and well worth the money, pricewise on-par with Plantation 20th Anniversary, which by the way cannot hold a candle to this well crafted rum without additives.

I'm really enjoying this one. Very smooth and a slight oak on the back in.

Nose: oak and baking spices. Palate: Very smooth, oak and spices, but less than on the nose. Easy to sip. Not heavily flavorful.
