Don Q Double Cask Finish (Zinfandel Casks) 2009
Sip this one neat and it drinks soft and light: citrus, a little caramel, and a clear wine note from the Zinfandel cask, with vanilla and dried fruit behind it. One taster nails it as caramel and fresh red fruits chewed together. Several mention an earthy, faintly musty edge. Not very rum-like, and the finish leans dry.
The community says- Soft and balanced
- Red-fruit caramel note
- But: Barely rum-like

How does Don Q Double Cask Finish (Zinfandel Casks) 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 35 community reviews.
Soft, wine-tinged easy sipper Well-liked as a gentle, wine-influenced sipper with red-fruit and caramel notes. A few find it too sweet or barely rum-like; the Zinfandel touch is subtle to some, obvious to others.

Review by Christian Rudt
Once again a Donq double cask. And this one is also very soft and balanced. Citrus, a little caramel and an earthy, slightly musty note characterize it. If you're looking for something light or want to delve deeper into cask ageing, this is the one for you. The influence of the wine cask is very clear. Pleasant would be the best word for me.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Deutlich besser und ausgewogener wie der Port cask finish. Das zinfandel cask bringt schöne Aromen von roten Trauben, roten Beeren, Vanille und Kakao sowie leicht nussige Aromen mit und ergänzt den Rum so angenehm.
Review by Blockzeitwilli
Citrus fruits and a little wine dominate the nose, with vanilla and dried fruit also present on the palate. Fairly dry, medium-long finish. Pleasant.
Review by Michael Janek
the scent changes over time taste a little spicy, drier, aged in Spanish wine barrels mirnoulince nakoureny It doesn't offend, but it doesn't delight.
Review by Christian A
Imagine chewing caramel and fresh red fruits at the same time and you're pretty much there with this rum. It might sound simple. But god If it isn't delicious
Review by Richard Krupa
A light sample, sweeter and at the same time with a touch of earthiness, citrus and a bit of woodiness
