I love how prominent the oak influence is in this rum! Spicy, fresh, dry, all in a good way. Also really smooth. The only reason I can't rate this higher is because there's not much else going on except the barrel influence, from what I can tell. Column still hate etc etc....
Update: I have really enjoyed this rum recently during the hotter months. Very refreshing and crisp. I went and bought another bottle to save for a rainy day.

I tried the new Don Q 2015 at Rumfest London 2016, it's nice and spicy - just like I've come to expect from Don Q. It's a little less harsh than some of the other from this line and easy to sip on. Slightly sour tangy finish and lingers with an oily feel. Definitely not a bad rum, but also not super unique either.

I'm not a fan of this rum, as it has too much bourbon for my liking, and it's too dry.
To me it's just a bourbon rum. Too much bourbon and not enough traditional rum flavor.

A lot of similarities to the old Cockspur 12, but not many to Mount Gay XO. Dry, cinnamon spicy, with a touch of wood.

Ok - mild - whiskyish - maybe a bit less exciting than anticipated

Amber colour in a clear bottle gives nothing away at first, but the Don Q emblem on the top eludes to a touch of quality. The aroma is slightly of honey, but depends the mystery even more giving nothing else away. The taste is extremely smooth. A brief glimpse of that honey that the aroma promiced is followed by a subtle but lingering okay/nutmeg flavour and a bit of spice on the edge of the tongue before finishing with a bit of warmth as it goes down. This is one to cherish and sip slowly.

I prefer the 2007 vintage since it has more flavour... But 2005 is a very nice whiskey blend rum as well.

Classy, smooth and decadent

Very nicely don Don Q. Most of their line contains rums meant for mixing and that is it but their vintage single barrel rum product offers a really nice rum to be enjoyed straight out of the bottle. Catch it if you can because they are selling out fast. At only 3000 bottles distributed in the US, believe, they won't last as the 2007 vintage is already available. Priced between $38-$50, it isn't a cheap rum by any stretch of the imagination, but well worth it in my opinion. Great for rum collectors to add to their collection as well as those who seek a complex and smooth rum to enjoy time and time again!
