Don Q Añejo XO
Sip it neat when you don't want to think too hard, or drop it in a mixer where the 40% won't get in the way. Expect caramel, vanilla, oak and a little coconut and chocolate, with a smoky woody palate. One taster called it "round and complex," but plenty found it thin and flat, with an occasional metallic-solvent note on the nose.
The community says- Easy caramel-vanilla nose
- Smooth to sip
- But: Thin, flat body

How does Don Q Añejo XO taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Mild, oaky everyday sipper, a bit thin A mild, caramel-and-vanilla Puerto Rican column rum. Fine for easy sipping, but many find it thin, low on complexity, and a touch hot for the low proof.

Review by BTHHo 🥃
This unsweetened rum from Don Q is both round and complex with flavors of caramel and vanilla - a successful flavorful solera rum in my opinion 👍
Review by Timo Groeger
Day trip Dortmund August 2025. Shop Stendels. Then I got to taste 3 Don Q on site. This one has a pleasant sweetness in the nose with notes of vanilla, caramel, and cocoa. On the palate, it's more woody and smoky.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely thin, watered down and smoky, metallic. Unfortunately, I don't like it at all and, above all, it's never worth 60€. Unfortunately, it's quite a letdown for me and very flat overall. But I wasn't expecting much either...
Review by Felix Reiber
Here I have a nice rum from my early days in the glass. The reason for buying it back then, I believe, was the beautiful bottle with the nice box. The nose shines with uncomplicated lightness. Caramel, oak, vanilla, cookies, brown sugar, coconut, and milk chocolate create a mild, slightly nutty aroma at this intensity. On the palate, sweetness is present at first. Mild flavors of vanilla, wood, caramel, brown sugar, coconut, oak, and almonds make the rum easy to drink. The short and gentle finish offers oak, caramel, dark chocolate, coconut, light roasted notes, and cocoa. If you're after a light rum with a stylish presentation, then this Don Q with its unspectacular profile is by no means overwhelming and a good choice.
Review by MoMcGurk
Just a nice flavor. Sweet, oaky, and down chocolate. A bit more burn than o would have hoped, but pleasant straight or mixed.
Review by Richard Krupa
Oak wood, significantly better than don q 7y
Review by R Wehner
At first, I had an unpleasant off-note on the nose, metallic, solvent-like, then later wood, vanilla, caramel, a bit of alcohol; surprisingly little complexity on the tongue, flat, slight alcohol sharpness, poor value for money.
