Don Q Blender‘s Reserve 2024
A solid stepping-stone Puerto Rican blend that stays light and approachable. Expect vanilla, cocoa, dried and yellow fruits with some oak spice and a slightly dry edge. Great in Daiquiris or easy sipping, though quite gentle for its age range.

Review by Johannes
Sehr spannender Rum! Blind hätte ich ihn sicher nicht gut einordnen können. Er ist leider imho zu dünn abgefüllt worden. Aber wenn man sich darauf einlässt, kann man viel entdecken. Tolle Komplexität, ich schmecke Agricole/Weinbrand-Noten, Pfirsich, Pflaume, Vanille, Tabak. Leider ist der Abgang recht kurz.
Review by Leo Krüper
Ein leichter Rum, wie man sich ihn wünscht. Von allem etwas. Trockene Süße aus dem Fass.
Review by Skyfly
The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Bonus No. 2 - significantly better than the Don Q 7. Much stronger aromas, vanilla is very natural compared to the other samples. The rum is much more present, especially in the daiquiri. The alcohol is not disturbing.
Review by Chrischi78
Ein weicher, zugänglicher Rum mit Noten von gelben Früchten,, Kakao. Das spnnenste ist noch die leichte zitronenartige Säure. Aber insgesamt etwas zu mild und wässrig. Der Abgang ist mittellang, könnte jedoch mehr Tiefe haben. Solide, aber ohne große Highlights.
Review by Felix Reiber
Dieser Blend aus Puerto Rico weiß leider nicht mit Aromatik oder Komplexität zu überzeugen. Die Nase ist weich und zurückhaltend. Am Gaumen ist er relativ dünn und eindimensional. Lediglich die Vanillenote, welche eine gewisse Cremigkeit mitbringt, gefällt mir gut. Der Abgang ist kurz mit einer leichten Schokoladennote. In einem Rühr-bzw. Marmorkuchen dürfte dieser Rum gut aufgehoben sein und munden. Danke an @Chris2302 für das Sample 🙂
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Grundsätzlich ein netter "alter" Puerto ricanischer Rum Blend, allerdings wirkt er auch mit 40,7% sehr dünn und ist daher auch kaum aromatisch und schnell wieder weg ... Komplexität ist abgesehen von Trockenfrüchten, viel Holz und etwas Kakao auch kaum vorhanden. Da bin ich sowohl pur als auch für drinks mMn hier im spanischen Stil mit einem eminente 7 oder 1731 Belize 7y etc mMn besser beraten.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
"A very nice blend, alas I fear I find it a bit too expensive in comparison to the 7 year old. Very nice, dry an complex daiquiri 4/5 stars. Really liked the profile and am happy about the bought bottle"
