Don Q Gran Reserva Anejo XO

Did not get the flavour, but could be just not my style. Burnt my throat, felt a bit like rum agricole.

nothing special. it's good but doen't have a "body". tried once , not going to second time .

Just a nice flavor. Sweet, oaky, and some chocolate. A bit more burn than I had hoped, but pleasant straight or mixed.

Nose: oak and baking spices. Palate: Very smooth, oak and spices, but less than on the nose. Easy to sip. Not heavily flavorful.

Tasted 3/28/21 at Laka Lono, after about a years absence. Whew!
Sipped, and then consumed more fully in daiquiri form.
This rum has a smoky essence to it and is delicious.

I'm really enjoying this one. Very smooth and a slight oak on the back in.

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

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.

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.

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.
