Don Q Selección Especial | 70cl

A Masterful Blend of Heritage and Intensity

Don Q Selección Especial is a sophisticated, limited-edition expression from the legendary Destilería Serrallés in Puerto Rico. Crafted by Master Blender Jaiker Soto to celebrate a milestone 20-year partnership with their French distributor, this rum is a carefully curated "assemblage" of the distillery's finest stocks. It represents a bridge between the approachable nature of a premium gold rum and the profound complexity of a long-aged connoisseur's spirit.

The blend features both light and heavy-bodied rums aged between 6 and 15 years in American white oak barrels. By incorporating a touch of Solera-aged rum and very old reserve stocks, the distillery achieves a "corpulent" texture and a dynamic range of flavors that far exceed the expectations for a 40% ABV spirit. It is a dense, rewarding rum that honors the six generations of Serrallés family tradition.

Key Features and Blending Excellence

Extended Age Range: Unlike fixed-age releases, this utilizes a vast range of rums (6–15 years) to ensure both vibrant fruitiness and deep, oaky tannins.
Limited Edition Status: Specially created for a specific anniversary, making it a unique collector’s piece for fans of the Don Q brand.
The Master Blender’s Touch: Hand-selected and married by Jaiker Soto to highlight a profile of "dense" tropical fruits and warming kitchen spices.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Rich and inviting. It opens with dense mango and clementine, followed by decadent layers of toffee and wildflower honey.
- Palate: A slow, rewarding build of flavor. Warm coffee and cinnamon take center stage, supported by mature, toasted oak and a touch of vanilla bean.
- Finish: Lingering and sophisticated, with a gentle heat and a final echo of mature oak and cocoa.

Serving Suggestions

The Connoisseur’s Sip: To fully appreciate the "slow build" of coffee and cinnamon, serve this rum neat in a tulip-shaped glass.
The "Grand" Rum Punch: Upgrade a traditional punch by using this as the base. The mango and honey notes harmonize perfectly with fresh citrus and pomegranate juices.
The Espresso Martini Twist: Use Selección Especial instead of vodka. The rum's natural coffee bitterness and butterscotch notes create a much richer, "gourmet" version of the cocktail.
Gourmet Pairing: This rum pairs exquisitely with clementine-flavored dark chocolate or a creamy crème brûlée to highlight the clementine and caramel notes.
