I get shy and bright nose. Nothing special, it's not harsh but simple.
The taste starts watery but warm with vanilla from the bourbon white oak. It turns spicy, I get also some bitter notes and a light fruity taste. At the end is some bourbon oak and some chocolate notes.
Very simple and young rum. I would rate it with 46 points.

This is a wired rum as it's labelled as a golden rum but it is really light in colour. Myself I like a really flavourful golden aged rum and this is more along the lines of a white rum than gold which is what makes its bizarre.
It's hard to understand exactly how the gold is so much worse than the cristal. This is not a good spirit but there are plenty worse, and may have a better rating than it deserves because of my reluctant ambivalence to the brand
At this price point, I think there are much better rums out there like Flor De Cana 4 year and Cruzan. Don Q gold has a harsh alcohol "bouquet" and a somewhat "chemical" flavor to me. It's drinkable but I'm not inclined to buy it again, even as a mixing rum.
This rum's colour is a faint yellow - not very "gold" at all. It smells like rubbing alcohol and has a harsh taste with a hint of sweetness... Doesn't look or taste like an aged rum, and when mixed with cola its drinkable, but really more comparable to a white rum.
Un ron ideal para mezclar, un sabor impresionante para mezclar
I really like the Cristal, but this one is not as good. Has a "fake" fruity taste that lowers the enjoyment
I don't generally like silver rums, so as far as gold rums go, this is my go to bottom shelf rum. I like tasting the rum in my cocktails, and this has a bit of character. If I'm making drinks for a lot of people, or testing out new cocktails, this is what I reach for. Tortuga would be my preferred choice, if I could get it in the states.
Rum is so so but Puerto Rico is the best! Bruges from their neighbours is a lot better

"The top selling rum in its native land..."

Sweet alcohol notes, a tiny hint of vanilla and maybe a touch of oak.
"You get sweetness but a fair hit of more metallic bitter notes. It has a pretty muted, yet smooth mouthfeel and a very short finish."

Light straw colored, like white wine or cider. Light aroma, like an rubbing alcohol. Lightly sharp taste, a lot of alcohol. Use in a drink, maybe...?
