Don Q 2007 Signature Release Single Barrel

As the title says. Big nose of oak. Lovely. Oily on the tongue with some nice caramel and a slow light burn. Easy to drink, and good value at the price.

Beautiful rich amber color. Good molasses, and saw dust on the nose. Easy pink peppercorn, oak, and caramel on the pallet.

Good woody rum for fair price, but Inot so complex as 2009 and also missing the nice sherry finish...

On sent bien au nez et au goût le côté chêne américain. Au nez il ressemble en effet à un bourbon. Mais belle explosivité en bouche, de la longueur sur le caramel et le chocolat.

Sehr smooth ohne zu süss zu sein.
Sehr würzige Holzaromen in der Nase.
Im Mund dann ebenfalls etwas Holz, viel Vanille und Kramell mit dezenter süsse auf der Zunge.
Mittellanger weicher Abgang mit anhaltend würzger Holznote.
8.5/10

Few months ago the global brand ambassador of don q did a tasting experience of 7 types of their rum in Maassluis the Netherlands. He held a very nice presentation. Showed lots of pictures of the distillery. This rum was in my opinion the most tastefull.

Für den Preis unschlagbarer single barrel. Ausgewogen

Very nice flavors. Price is more than fair taking into account that its a single barrel rum.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Portoriko
Aroma: Propolis, kůže, čokoláda, med, skořice, hřebíček, kandovaný pomeranč. (87 b)
Chuť: Překvapivě suchý, ale poměrně plný a svým výrazem "temný". Silný, kořenitý dojem, hořká čokoláda, dubové taniny. Působí silněji, než na 40% alkoholu. (84 b)
Body: 85
Shrnutí: Vůně je pro mě zajímavější, než chuť.

I was so impressed with the after taste of Don Q 2005 that I picked up this 2007 today. It has more aroma than the 2005, namely fruit. On the palate are more flavors, namely fruit. The after taste is no match compared to that wonderful one from the 2005. Both are excellent rums worth checking out and both have no added sugar.
