Review by David Martens
Sweet without being really sweet. Very tasty, straightforward with the necessary depth. Very pleasant wood notes.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Don Q makes light, very light rum. Who expects flavor bombs is wrong here, neither full-bodied rum nor super heavy (and sweetened) wood can be found here. The star is the distillate, which comes elegant and delicate. Tasted neat, aromas of dried yellow fruits and wood show up, in the mouth a champagne-like quality is added, a touch of oleo saccharum combines with pear and the yellow fruits to create a wonderful delicate creaminess. The 40% unfortunately negates this somewhat.The finish is again a bit more tart and woody, delicate tannins and en touch of tobacco complete the picture. This is super crafted, pure but still very unspectacular. This rum is a mixer, but a mixer with star qualities. As a component in tiki drinks, it remains far in the background, where it belongs. It makes a super mojito, to which the light wood gives a great depth. The Old Cuban could become the signature drink, it combines perfectly with mint and champagne (or other brut sparkling wine). That's where it really takes off. If you're looking for a dry Spanish mixer that puts the distillate front and center, this is it. I'm a fan (neat: 70/cocktail:86): 78
Review by cigares
Tasting Artur's Puerto Rico rums. A nose so different from the others that I thought of a pirate. Esters, tropical fruits, mango and varnished wood. We're in another world here. A lively palate with esters, tropical fruit, flowers, nuts and a rather massive wood. A long finish for the first time in this tasting.
Review by Christian Rudt
Very finely distilled with 40 percent of course a little thin but since I have it in a mojito at the same time, thanks to the community, you can immediately see where this rum shines. It does what it's supposed to do there - deliver flavors without dominating. Great mixer 👍 Pure, the sherry cask is currently my favorite.

06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Erstmal vielen Dank an Artur für die extreme Mühe und dass du teilweise so alte Rums überhaupt teilst. Die Rums selber waren jetzt bis auf ein paar wenige Ausnahmen nicht wirklich der Knaller, ABER mir hat es trotzdem sehr gut gefallen, da man solche Rums überhaupt nicht mehr ins Glas bekommt als Normalsterblicher und dieses ganze Hintergrundwissen das Artur geteilt hat finde ich wahnsinnig interessant. Da ziehe ich wirklich den Hut davor. Dicker Respekt!
Review by LukaŽiga
7,4:On the nose, the first impression we get is with caramelized nuts and tropical fruits, chocolate pastry, roasted/charred wood with vanilla and baking spices, molasses are quite thick with buttery caramel and chicory coffee. 7,5:On the palate, the attack is soft, sweet, silky with notes of creme brulee, caramel, milk chocolate, spicy with pepper, fruity with pineapple, some pastry as strawberry cake, salty, the wood is charred, so it comes a bit musty and there is also tobacco. 7:The finish is medium, sweet, woody, spicy with caramel, chocolate, dry, with caramelized dried fruits..

Sehr ausgewogen, leichte Fassaromen von Nuss. Tolles PLV.
Review by Skyfly
The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 18 - bisheriges Highlight des tastings und im Daiquiri echt gut. Pur die selben Aromen wie seine Vorgänger (junges Holz, Vanille und Süße), aber deutlich stärker
Review by Thunderbird
A good rum for mixing
Review by Alex1981
Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Wow, nach all dem Mittelmaß und Enttäuschungen ein echter Ausreißer nach oben! Schöner Sipper der neben der Vanille auch noch Holz, Intensität und Frucht bietet. Immer noch nicht überragend, aber doch positiv überrascht :-)
Review by DomM
Light in the nose yet showing a high quality. Wood, vanilla, roasted nuts and a hint of dried fruits. While not overly intense, the nose is quite up there for a low ABV column rum imo. On the palate the profile is dominated by wood / molasses / vanilla with not very much complexity. All in all a high quality product for what it is. Works very well as a light rum in drinks as well.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolut krasse positive Überraschung und super Entwicklung im Vergleich zu den Bottlings der Jahrzehnte zuvor. Gegrillte Ananas, getrocknete Aprikose, junges Holz, Vanille, Tabak, Milchschokolade und angenehme Tannine. Top plv und sicher geil im daiquiri, air Mail & co! Die bisherige Überraschung des Abends !🇵🇷🥂
Review by Mirco
Rum No. 18 Dünn, aber bisher der komplexeste der Runde 1-18. Dennoch viel Luft nach oben. Vielen Dank Artur für diese Mega-Split Reise durch Rums aus Puerto Rico. Danke auch für die Arbeit die du für uns immer wieder auf dich nimmst und alte Flaschen für uns möglich machst! 😊
