Don Q Puerto Rican Rum Gold Label (1980s)

A newcomer-friendly 1980s Puerto Rican gold rum with light vanilla, caramel, young wood and a touch of citrus peel and apple. Technically clean but rather thin, it’s mainly interesting as “liquid history” or for retro cocktail experiments, not as a modern sipper. Backed by 19 RumX reviews with a modest consensus score.

The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 9 - junges Holz, Süße/ Karamell und Vanille sehr dominant, aber besser als seine älteren Abfüllungen. Kommt immer noch etwas wässrig rüber. Alkohol trotz der nur 40% etwas dominant

Dégustation des rhums de Puerto Rico d’Artur. Pomme et mirabelle au nez, bois léger. En bouche aussi on sent une grande amélioration par rapport à son petit frère de 1976 avec l’apparition de notes d’agrumes (zeste d’orange), des fruits plus marqués et un alcool bien mieux intégré. La finale intègre des fruits et une amertume boisée.

5,8:On the nose, we first notice a leather, a wood is spicy, there is a vanilla, from fruits, orange peel and an apple are present. 6,2:On the palate, the attack is quite pleasant with roasted wood notes like caramel, chocolate, smoky and spicy as a molasses brings some tobacco.The fruits are dried, orange peel and apple repeated from the nose. 5,6:The finish is medium long, thin with same fruits, wood spices, caramel and a bit metallic...

Krasse Entwicklung hier zum Vorgänger aus 1974. Orangenschale, leicht rauchig, vanillig und insgesamt deutlich dunkler vom aroma her. Gefällt mir einen kleinen Tick besser und ist insgesamt meiner Meinung nach spannender!
