Don Q Double Aged Cognac Cask Finish | 70cl

A Masterful Union of Puerto Rican Rum and French Elegance

Don Q Double Aged Cognac Cask Finish is a sophisticated, limited-edition expression that showcases the innovative spirit of Destilería Serrallés. This rum is part of the "Double Aged" series, where the distillery explores the influence of secondary cask finishes on their classic Puerto Rican profile. It represents a bridge between the crisp efficiency of column distillation and the rich, velvety textures associated with high-end French brandies.

The process begins with a blend of light and heavy rums—a combination of single and multi-column stills—that are initially matured in American white oak barrels for five to eight years. The spirit is then transferred to hand-selected ex-Cognac casks for an additional two years of finishing. This dual maturation allows the rum to retain its bright, tropical character while absorbing the refined tannins and floral fruitiness characteristic of Cognac.

Key Features and Double-Cask Artistry

Two-Stage Maturation: Undergoes an extensive 10-year journey, culminating in a two-year rest in French oak that previously held fine Cognac.
Balanced Distillation: The use of both single and multi-column stills ensures a rum that is clean and smooth yet possesses enough "body" to stand up to the bold cask influence.
Complex Oak Interaction: Combines the vanilla and coconut notes of American oak with the spicy, floral, and tannic structure of French oak.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Rich and inviting. Broad aromas of warm brown sugar and dried mango are layered with honeyed oak.
- Palate: Sophisticated and dry. Oak tannins provide a firm structure, followed by a wave of warming nutmeg and cloves.
- Finish: Long and elegant. It leaves a lasting impression of toasted wood and a subtle, vinous fruitiness from the Cognac cask.

The "French" Old Fashioned: Use a dash of orange bitters and a small amount of honey syrup to complement the Cognac finish.
Neat with a Twist: Serve in a large snifter with a thin strip of orange zest to highlight the spicy nutmeg and clove palate.
Gourmet Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with dried apricots, salted almonds, or a mild, creamy cheese like Brie to contrast the oak tannins.
