Don Q Double Cask Finish Cognac Casks 2009
Best sipped neat with a drop of water to tame the heat. This Puerto Rican rum leans woody and spicy, with dried apricot, peach and vanilla from the cognac cask, plus honey and milk chocolate underneath. Several tasters flag a sharp, almost vinegary edge and note the oak can get heavy. Pleasant and easygoing, but not everyone's convinced.

Woody, spicy cognac-finished sipper with dried apricot Divides drinkers: fans enjoy the fruity cognac influence, honey and chocolate, while others find the alcohol poorly integrated and the oak too dominant. Tasty but a touch sharp.

Review by Kieron Wood
Beautiful expression of cognac rum however the price point gives it a slightly lower score
Review by Christoph
Pleasant spicy wood notes. Especially in the finish a lot of honey. Vanilla is neatly present. Fruit remains in the background. Alcohol is well integrated per se, but the finish is very intense. Beautiful glue nose.
Review by Christian Rudt
Very round story with the cognac barrel. Fruity, spicy, aromatic. Found the DonQ from the sherry cask but a bit better
Review by Frank
After Dirk on the HanseSpirit has raved about this rum or the family business behind DonQ, I've just accepted him times the half-full bottle. Spanish style with after all just under 50%. At the fair I found the finish in a cognac barrel not disturbing, but quite appropriate. Let's see how he is so.... Nose: at the beginning the alcohol stings a bit, then it becomes spicy-woody-fruity, green apple with sour cherry and apricot. Behind that light vinegar and some red pepper with nutmeg and vanilla. Milk chocolate out the back. Pleasant and approachable. 74 Palate: spicy-woody. Seems quite light at the start, but then gets a nice chocolaty texture. That cognac finish comes through clearly with peach and apricot. Overall approachable and a nice representative of the Spanish style. 78
Review by HenryL
Tasted at the Hanse Spirit 2024 Very light, but with an alcoholic sharpness, both on the nose and in the mouth. Dried apricot on the nose, the cognac comes through well in the mouth. Doesn't really pick me up
Review by Jarek
Catching up on rum depot tasting. Under 50% but unpleasantly sharp on the palate. Overall not convincing.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Alcohol could be much better integrated, cognac and wood influence for my taste too dominant. The predecessor single barrel from Don q was better... Above all never and never worth 60€
Review by Richard Colwell
Strong acetic/vinegar notes, slightly chemical on the nose. However, the palate is relatively mild with subtle fruitiness. The palate notes are inoffensive relative to the nose, but not particularly interesting.
