Don Q Gran Reserva Anejo XO

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

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

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

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

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.

As stated in the title, decent rum, with definite wood flavors. Not the best in its category though.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 3/28/21. This is a fancy bottle, but it's not a fancy rum. No aroma. Big caramel taste. Honey sweetness. Watery body with a fructose finish.

Nose: Like sticking your nose in a bag of brown sugar, with notes of cherry and oak
Palate: Same as the nose
Tail: Sticks to the tongue with the same flavor

It’s tasty, but doesn’t have much development and is a bit one note. I’d gladly sip it but it’s not next level.

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.

Nice sipping rum. The bottle is also a nice addition to my collection.
