Don Q Double Aged Port Cask Finish | 70cl

A Luxurious Fusion of Tropical Aging and European Elegance

The Don Q Double Aged Port Cask Finish is a standout expression from the prestigious Serrallés Collection. It represents a sophisticated "double maturation" process that marries the bright, clean character of Puerto Rican rum with the deep, vinous complexity of fortified wine. While many finished rums spend only a few months in secondary wood, this spirit undergoes an extensive three-year finishing period, allowing for a profound transformation of the spirit's profile.

The journey begins with a blend of single and multi-column distilled rums, aged for five to eight years in American white oak barrels. The rum is then transferred to hand-selected European Tawny Port casks for an additional three years. This prolonged interaction with the Port-seasoned wood infuses the rum with a rich mahogany hue and a tapestry of dark fruit flavors that perfectly complement the natural vanilla and honey notes of the base spirit.

Key Features and Port Cask Influence

Extended 3-Year Finish: One of the longest secondary maturations in the Don Q range, ensuring the Tawny Port influence is deeply integrated rather than just a surface layer.
Tawny Port Complexity: The use of Tawny Port casks (known for oxidative aging) introduces nutty, dried-fruit characteristics and a refined tannic structure.
Masterful Blending: Crafted by the Serrallés family, who have over 150 years of distilling heritage in Ponce, Puerto Rico.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Rich and fruity. Aromas of vanilla bean and toasted oak are intertwined with ripe cherries, blackberries, and a hint of dark plum.
- Palate: Decadent and well-rounded. A core of honey and butterscotch is elevated by nuances of red fruits, berries, and a delicate nuttiness.
- Finish: Long, complex, and elegantly dry, with lingering echoes of dried fruit and soft wood tannins.

Serving Suggestions

The Neat Experience: This is a connoisseur’s rum best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn or snifter glass to allow the red berry and oak aromas to fully develop.
The Port Cask Old Fashioned: Use a dash of chocolate bitters and a barspoon of maple syrup to create a rich, velvety cocktail that highlights the dark fruit notes.
With a Dessert: The berry nuances make this an incredible companion to black forest gateau, raspberry tart, or a selection of creamy blue cheeses.
Post-Dinner Sipper: Serve alongside a handful of roasted walnuts to complement the nutty characteristics imparted by the Tawny Port wood.
