Don Q Gran Anejo

This is a good rum that i was surprised tasted as good as it did.

To be honest I must admit, in the first place it was the affection for the bottle that motivated me to buy it. Maybe the thing about this particular rum is that from the first look it emerges way too many excpectations concernng the content itself. Once poured in the glass and sipped though, it fails to fulfill those excpectations to a certain grade. Not being too much on the sweet side, is maybe the best thing about DonQ Grand Anejo. Other than that, I struggled to percieve some complexity in its' flavour with little succes. No strong kick on the nose once poured in the glass but on the other hand, quite harsh and disappointigly, flavour didn't realy seem to last much in the passing of time.
Overall, in my humble oppinion, at the range of 45 - 50 euro, a lot more decent choices are available.

This is an ok rum to drink neat and on the rocks. A bit harsh on the palate and not as good as Plantation 20, Pampero Aniversario or Diplomatico. Overpriced for what it is, you're paying extra for the nice packaging :) Would I buy it again? No. It's too expensive to mix it in cocktails and there are much better rums at this price point to drink neat or on the rocks.

Took me a bit to find out my favorite way to enjoy this. There was always a butterscotch flavor on the pallet but I've found when I keep the bottle in the fridge and pour one the rocks (ideally a 2.5;round ice cube), the flavors really pop. What holds this back from being truly great is the after taste. It's a tad harsh and not as sweet as I'd ideally like. Overall I really enjoy it as described, yet for the price of either lean towards something higher end, or go for the Zafra.

Wonderful golden amber color. Campfire sap, and coco on the nose. A little malty. Sea salt, brown butter, and vanilla on the pallet.

Tasty but not very much variety in taste or complexity.

This was a late Christmas gift from a friend who knows how much i love rum. This rum comes in a beautiful glass presentation. Very smooth, adequate amount of burn, not very complex, tastes of molasses/brown sugar, spicy, a little watery, quite enjoyable, decent sipper, but forgetable rum. At $60, id i could buy two Doorly's 12 year and get the same experience. Dont get me wrong, this rum is good but there other bottles of rum in the price range that are better or the same quality at a cheaper price.

leave it in the glass 10-15 minutes because it s a little bit harsh on the nose ...
but than you have a good dry rum, a little bit of oak and vanilla,
for me the predominant note is croissant,
also in the medium finish i have croissant in the mouth ...

Smooth P.R. rum. Lacking enough flavor to rank higher, though still good.

Naprosto super kousek. Příjemná chuť po melase. Jednoduchý rum s univerzální chuti. Úplně super
