Don Q Gran Añejo
Anyone who likes a clean, light sipper without much burn will get on with this Puerto Rican column-still rum. Expect caramel, vanilla, dried fruit and a little tobacco, with an earthy nose one taster likened to rubber cement. It's honest and easy to drink — several members just wish it had more body, calling it a touch thin and short on personality.

GREAT sipper. Dry, flavorful, and not too strong. An ideal companion sip when creating. Ron done right.

Review by Leo Krüper
Nice rum from Puerto Rico. Solera style, but not too sweet.
Review by Christoph
Very sweet and fruity. Caramel is very present. At the same time also quite spicy, some vanilla. Quite back and forth at the end but the sweetness wins.Tasted together with Blauroter soft cheese = Jägerschnitzel
Review by Christian Rudt
Taste profile is actually very good, me unfortunately just a little too thin. But that's probably what it should be here. A well accessible, light, not boring, honest rum.insofar mission accomplished. It tastes good. Honest!
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
An interesting earthy nose. Soil, roasted nuts and vanilla. Something similar to rubber cement in the background. The palate has a little sweetness but this is rounded by bitter coffee and tobacco notes. The finish is quite short but has a nice coffee sweeter with honey note. Overall not bad. More interesting than I usually find Puerto Rican rum.
Review by Nicolas Kröger
Very clean without missing tones but little personality
Review by Solidfunk
Pretty understated. Perhaps even too much. Pepper and caramel. Some campfire on the end when you breathe. Golden pour. Spicy finish. On flight at Casta's in DC.
Review by Motvind
Light and quite weak aromas. Caramel, light wood, dried fruit, and vanilla. The taste is also a bit reserved, sweet with tones of light wood, fruits, spicy and a bit of vanilla. It feels almost a bit watery. A good rum but maybe appreciated most by those new to rum.
Review by Abrahan Reyes
Very good sipper. Some banana hints and some other fruit flavors like peach and apples.
