Ron inexpresivo. No dice nada ni en aroma ni sabor. En su rango hay otros mucho mejores.
Tasted at Laka Lono 4/24/22
Ok. This started out as a 4/5 barrel rating and moved down to 3/5 which I am translating to 5/10.
notes:
Ok. I liked this. It tasted like mellow cactus juice with a long lasting flavor. But then each sip got progressively worse, in a worrisome kind of way.
It is, throughout, the correct rum. It's hard to pick on anything. Nice mellow aroma, likewise the taste. You can feel the better rum, but it definitely lacks character. Terribly dull.
I decided to try this very carefully and systematically. I really tried to taste deeply into it and find things it reminds me of. I taste something that reminds me of browning meat, maybe specifically pork. It's very early and especially when I take some air as i sip. Not in any way unpleasant but distinctive for sure. It has a little sour caramel thing too. Like a green caramel apple. It actually gives me a little tingle in my cheeks the way sour things might. The green apple is very nice though. After that I get a nice subtle molasses flavor and it has a very long mildly woody finish with a very nice tingle on the back of my lips. I am surprised at how much is going on here. I'm now very curious to try other Don Q offerings.
I was surprised on how nice this taste since I was expecting much. On the nose you get oak but also sweeter ones of chocolate and vanilla. The first taste you get a little bit of sweetness before giving away to oak and spice.
I think one of the best things about this rum is it seems nothing has been added so I’ll be giving this one another try in the future.
The nose is tropical fruits, after while it reveals also cocoa, oak and leather. The taste starts with fruity sweet notes, turning toward mild oak, hint of tobacco, dark chocolate, ending with a bitter sweet cocoa dot which lasts in the pleasant and long aftertaste. Overall the rum is very well crafted, with no apparent artificial components besides caramel coloring, to a certain point it reminds me of Bajan rums - which means I like it. It is smooth enough to enjoy neat and it is very reasonably priced, so it can be used as a premium mixer too.
Really, it’s what you’d expect for the price. Don q does have, in my opinion, the best white rum, but this just isn’t up to that standard.
The nose is more oaked than the gold.
"You get a sweet fruity entry which gives way to some very nice oak aged notes. The finish is long and spicy but it doesn’t burn at all. ."

Nice gold rum
6

Don Q Gold is sort of pigeonholed as a mixing rum and that's more or less accurate. It's not really billed as a sipper, but you can certainly sip it. There's not much complexity there, some vanilla, oak, sugar but not overly sweet.
Overall 6. A good mixer for its category but lack the complexity to make a repeat sipping rum.
