Don Q has been made in Ponce, Puerto Rico, for six generations and more than 155 years. There’s a reason it’s one of the most well-respected rum brands in the world. Recently, the brand announced a new, unique expression just in time for your New Year’s revelry.
Don Q Double-Aged Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish Rum
It’s called Don Q Double-Aged Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish Rum, and this limited-edition expression is the most recent addition to the brand’s highly awarded Selección Exclusiva program. Only 2,000 bottles of this limited-edition expression are being made available to the public.
This unique expression was matured in a combination of casks: first for 7 years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, then finished for an additional 11 months in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks imported from Jerez, Spain.
According to the brand, the result is a balanced, multi-layered 88-proof, award-winning aged rum, filled with flavors such as dried figs, sherry, apricots, honey, toasted vanilla beans, oak, and gentle wintry spices. The palate is centered on hints of raisins, sherry sweetness, honey, and spices. The finish is long, lingering, and warm, ending with a final flourish of oak, fruit, and fresh leather.
With the Pedro Ximénez Double Cask Finish, we’ve crafted an expression that reflects the depth and elegance possible when Puerto Rican rum is paired with the complexity of European cask aging,” says Silvia Santiago, Master Blender & SVP of Manufacturing at Destilería Serrallés
Where can I buy it?
The limited-edition Double-Aged Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish Rum is currently available at select retailers and online for the suggested retail price of $58.99.
