Review by Johannes
The liquid History of Puerto Rico - vielen Dank an Artur für die Teilung! Nicht schlecht, aber etwas dünn, etwas Holz und Vanille.
Review by Alex1981
Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Eine Reihe von DonQs im Wandel über die Jahrzehnte, angefangen aus den 50ern im Vergleich zum aktuellen Release. Überraschenderweise ist der neuste auch der Beste, deutlich fruchtiger und intensiver zubeinem guten Kurs. spannend!
Review by LukaŽiga
5,6:On the nose, the first impression is a thin, alcoholic rum, but a bit fresh with citrus at first, with roasted wood notes becomes buttery, caramelized, yellow fruits and tobacco find a way out later. 6:On the palate, the attack is sweet, but light, diluted with burnt sugar, buttery caramel, vanilla and some coconut. 5,7:The finish is medium long, alcoholic, dry with wood spice, buttery with some caramel and faint coconut...

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!

The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 8 - Vanille, süß und junges Holz, im Gaumen etwas Gewürze und Kokosnuss. Keine sonderlich spannenden Aromen. Alkohol ist für seine nur 40% recht dominant.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
1974er vintage don q. Qualitativ durchaus in Ordnung, Buttergebäck, Karamell, Vanille, leichte Eichenfass Töne. Durchaus ein guter blend für einen gold rum und eine für damalige Verhältnisse schon recht gute Qualität.

Review by cigares
Dégustation des rhums de Puerto Rico d’Artur. Un nez d’alcool avec des fruits jaunes, du bois et des herbes sèches. De l’alcool neutre en bouche, peu de fruits, de la douceur, de la vanille et du bois. La finale est non seulement courte mais marquée par l’alcool neutre.
