Don Q Oak Barrel Spiced
"Spicy taste smooth drinking" is how one member sums it up, and that's the gist: big vanilla on the nose and palate, plus chocolate, burnt sugar and a little orange. At 45% it's warmer than most spiced rums, though a couple of tasters called it a touch boozy and one found the mix of flavors a bit muddled. Vanilla fans will get along with it.
The community says- Big vanilla
- Chocolate and spice
- Keep in mind: Slightly boozy

Review by Johannes
Relatively tangy, superficial vanilla note
Review by Christoph
Spicy, chocolaty, some orange in total but still a relatively indefinable "mishmash" with which I do not really warm up.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a great rum for making rum balls, which I make pretty often.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review ›It's a very versatile and very unique tasting spiced rum. For me Bristol Black Spiced Rum, Foursquare and Elements Eight Spiced rums are the standout spiced rums I have tried so far. This joins that company and is easily one of the best spiced rums on the market.
