Don Q Double Aged Sherry Cask Finish | 70cl

A Puerto Rican Classic with an Andalusian Soul

The Don Q Double Aged Sherry Cask Finish is a sophisticated, layered rum that brings the rich, nutty traditions of Spanish winemaking to the vibrant spirits of Puerto Rico. Crafted by the Serrallés family, this expression is a showcase of "Double Aging"—a process that adds extraordinary depth and a velvety texture to their signature clean rum profile.

The journey begins with a blend of rare rums that have spent between 5 and 8 years maturing in American white oak barrels. For the final chapter, the rum is transferred into hand-selected Oloroso Sherry casks for an additional year of finishing. This secondary maturation allows the rum to absorb the deep, oxidative characteristics of the Oloroso, resulting in a spirit that balances tropical warmth with European elegance.

Key Features and Double-Cask Influence

Oloroso Sherry Finishing: The one-year rest in Oloroso casks imparts a savory, nutty complexity and a dark, dried-fruit sweetness that is absent in standard aged rums.
Extended Maturation: By aging for nearly a decade in total, the spirit develops a "viscous" mouthfeel and a long, refined finish.
Natural Character: True to the Don Q philosophy, this rum relies on the wood and the wine-soaked staves for flavor, containing no added sugars or artificial flavorings.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Rich and festive. Expect deep aromas of sticky dates and sugared almonds, underscored by the classic vanilla of the American oak.
- Palate: Full-bodied and aromatic. Notes of clove and cinnamon lead into a complex heart of tobacco leaf and a tangy burst of dried cherry.
- Finish: Long and drying, with a lingering nuttiness and a hint of dark chocolate from the Oloroso influence.
