Don Q Gran Reserva Añejo XO Review
From Puerto Rico, this expression combines 9 to 12 year old rum with liquor drawn from a 50-year-old solera system. Its profile is mature, as you might expect. Dried fruits and fresh berry notes counteract some of the headier sweet vanilla and toasted oak, and the overall balance shows masterful blending. This is a great sipping rum that offers fantastic value.
