Don Q Double Aged Zinfandel Cask Finish | 70cl

A Bold Cross-Continental Fusion: Tropical Rum meets Californian Wine

The Don Q Double Aged Zinfandel Cask Finish is a vibrant and innovative expression within the prestigious Serrallés Collection. This limited-edition rum represents a unique dialogue between the traditional spirit of Puerto Rico and the bold, fruit-forward characteristics of Californian viticulture. It is designed for the adventurous palate, seeking a rum that balances classic oak structure with a bright, wine-influenced acidity.

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 spirit is then transitioned into hand-selected Californian Zinfandel wine casks for an additional three years of maturation. This lengthy secondary aging period allows the rum to fully integrate the "jammy" red fruit notes and crisp tannins of the Zinfandel, resulting in a complex spirit with a distinctive ruby-tinted glow.

Key Features and Zinfandel Influence

Extended 3-Year Finishing: Unlike brief "cask finishes," this 36-month rest in Zinfandel wood ensures a deep, structural transformation of the rum's flavor profile.
Vibrant Fruit Profile: The Zinfandel casks impart a unique "crispness" and a bouquet of red berry flavors that contrast beautifully with the heavy vanilla of the base rum.
No Added Sugars: True to the Don Q philosophy, the perceived sweetness and berry notes are derived entirely from the natural interaction between the spirit and the wine-soaked staves.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Aromatic and bright. Aromas of freshly split oak and vanilla are intertwined with red currants, raspberries, and a hint of floral spice.
- Palate: Balanced and crisp. The familiar honey and caramel backbone is elevated by layers of blackberry jam, toasted almonds, and a subtle wine-like acidity.
- Finish: Long and refreshing. It leaves a clean impression of dark berries and dry oak tannins with a slight peppery snap.

Serving Suggestions

The Wine-Lover’s Sip: Enjoy this rum neat in a large wine glass or snifter to allow the oxygen to open up the delicate Zinfandel berry aromas.
The "Zin" Spritz: For a refreshing summer serve, mix 50ml of the Zinfandel finish with a splash of soda water and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Garnish with a fresh raspberry.
The Boulevardier Twist: Substitute the traditional bourbon or rye for Don Q Zinfandel Finish in a Boulevardier. The wine notes harmonize perfectly with the bitterness of Campari and sweet vermouth.
Gourmet Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with grilled lamb (complementing the tannins) or a mixed berry tart to highlight the cask influence.
