Don Q Double Aged Vermouth Cask Finish | 70cl

A Bold Experiment in Botanical Aging

The Don Q Double Aged Vermouth Cask Finish is a groundbreaking limited release that pushes the boundaries of traditional rum maturation. Crafted by Master Blender Jaiker Soto, this expression represents a "very successful experiment" in flavor fusion. It begins with a robust blend of light and heavy rums aged for 5 to 8 years in American white oak.

The defining characteristic of this spirit is its secondary maturation: a 4 to 6-week finish in rare Italian oak casks that previously held Mancino Vecchio—a super-high-end, aged sweet vermouth. While the finishing period is brief, the impact is immense. The vermouth-soaked wood transforms the light and fruity Don Q base into a complex, botanical-forward spirit reminiscent of a pre-mixed Manhattan, offering a bridge between the world of aged spirits and fine aromatized wines.

Key Features and Botanical Alchemy

Mancino Vecchio Cask Finish: Finished in casks from one of the world's most prestigious vermouth producers, adding layers of medicinal herbs and dark fruits.
Double Wood Maturation: The interaction between American white oak and Italian vermouth oak creates a multi-dimensional profile of honey, wood, and botanicals.
No Added Sugars: In keeping with the Don Q "no additives" policy, all the sweetness and herbal complexity come naturally from the secondary cask aging.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Highly aromatic and floral. Initial notes of honey, vanilla, and dark chocolate are met with a sophisticated "whiff" of bitter herbs, violets, and rose petals.
- Palate: Rich and layered. A core of white grapes and seedless raisins is balanced by deep flavors of cherry, dark chocolate, and cloves.
- Finish: A lasting, unique experience. Exotic fruit notes linger alongside a herbaceous, botanical tone and a hint of refreshing menthol.
