Don Q Gold (1990s-2014s)

4.2/10
16 community reviews ↓

A very simple, light Puerto Rican-style mixer with neutral alcohol, hints of vanilla, caramel and young wood. RumX members mostly see it as basic “hotel bar” rum, better suited for high-volume cocktails than sipping neat.

Aggregated from 16 community reviews.

Dégustation des rhums de Puerto Rico d’Artur. Un nez de bonbon, d’alcool de prune, de végétal fermenté et d’agrumes. La bouche est diluée, alcoolique, acide et les fruits peinent à apparaître. La finale est courte mais des fruits restent un peu, de l’orange et de la prune.

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 zu einem guten Kurs. Spannend!

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 - vielen Dank an Artur für die Teilung! Viel Neutralalkohol, eher etwas zum Mixen.

Rum No. 10 Auch hier leider kein Ausreisser. Typische Noten. 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! 😊

The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 10 - "gepanschter" Rum. Kein Fan davon. Ihm fehlt einfach alles was man sonst im Rum sucht. Bildet wohl genau das ab, was man in billigen all-inclusive Hotels bekommt

Deutlich mehr Säure wie die Vorgänger, was leichte Abzüge in der Bewertung ergibt. Insgesamt auch deutlich flacher und eindimensionaler im Vergleich direkt. Da gefallen die Vorgänger aus 70er/80er Jahre deutlich besser.
