Don Q Double Aged Sherry Cask Finish 8-Year

Good stuff here. I love sherried whisky and rum. This has a nice single malt scotch feel but it is all rum. Good rum too. Thick and balanced. If the finish were longer it would score an 8. Nice sipper. Quality offering.

Tak nějak jsem od něj čekal víc, vcelku zklamání, není špatný, ale ani nenadchne

Sherry and caramel on the nose, smooth taste, almost liqueur, sherry and red wine on the finish

Jedná se o směs rumů ve věku 5 - 8 let zrajících v amer. sudech z bílého dubu po bourbonu. Poté tento blend zraje po dobu jednoho roku ve vybraných sudech, ve kterých dříve zrálo španělské oloroso sherry.

Aroma: Trochu lihovější vanilka, vcelku nevýrazná vůně
Chuť: Sladce kořenitá
Dozvuk: Trpké dřevo, rozinky a hodně sherry, středně dlouhý
Sladkost: 1/3
Vzorek #11 na RumFest Praha 2020
Sympatický rum. Vůně nic moc, ale vynahrazuje to chuť a výrazný sherry dozvuk. Lehký nadprůměr 7,5b.

Aroma is not strong or complex. Taste is smooth, light and a bit sweeter but not much. Aftertaste is average with sherry, oak and caramel tones

I love Don Q but this one kinda let me down. There’s something about the aging that left me with a little burn or flavor I didn’t love.

I would not consider this to be as good as Dos Maderas or Abuelo - both of whom seem to have refined the art of making rum from sherry casks. It's rich and full, as you'd expect and there is a fair bit of fruit and leather in it. The sherry is there on the aftertaste but not really much in the smell or taste.

It’s pretty classic Don Q Gold with a little more to offer. Notes of Apricot, almond, and toffee. An easy sipper.
