Review by Godspeed
Good 151’s are rare. This is one of the good ones and is close to essential in tiki cocktail culture. Recommended.
Review by JonasTh
Beetje alcoholig, wel heel lekker
Review by The Rumanticist
The taste and smell of this rum neat is almost offensive, but in many cocktails I have noticed the burn disappears entirely like the Cerberus standing aside to allow hades’ safe passage to the underworld. The unguarded flavors emerge in the form of peaches and cinnamon with a short woody finish. While seemingly ferocious, Don Q 151 is all bark with no bite; it merges flawlessly and seamlessly into anything from spiked teas to exotic tiki cocktails.
Review by w00tAN
Clearly 151, the name is program but compared to others such as Brut de Colonne from Dillon very rough.
Review by Richard Krupa
Drevite, pomerne jemne - tolik bych poele chuti necekal
Review by Baboune
Ultra strong! Flammable To taste in cocktail, in my opinion useless "pure".
