What is Don Q Gold Rum?
Don Q Gold Rum, a staple of Puerto Rican rum production, offers a smooth and versatile profile that's perfect for mixing in cocktails. Interestingly, the Serrallés family, who produce Don Q, have been in the rum business since 1865 and are known for their environmentally friendly practices, including recycling 100% of the waste from their distillation process to create renewable energy.
Why do we love Don Q Gold Rum?
Don Q Gold Rum stands out for its uniquely dry profile, a result of being aged for up to 5 years in American white oak barrels previously used for bourbon. This Puerto Rican rum's crisp, clean taste and subtle vanilla notes make it an excellent choice for cocktails, allowing other flavors to shine without overpowering sweetness typical of many gold rums.
How do you drink Don Q Gold Rum?
Don Q Gold Rum shines in tropical-inspired cocktails, where its smooth character and subtle oak notes can complement fruit juices and aromatic mixers. This versatile spirit is equally enjoyable sipped neat or over ice on warm summer evenings, and its gentle sweetness pairs wonderfully with spicy Caribbean cuisine or grilled seafood.

Nose: Light vanilla and caramel notes mingle with hints of tropical fruit, particularly ripe banana and pineapple. A subtle oakiness provides depth, while a faint sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar lingers in the background.
Palate: Smooth and mellow with a medium body. Flavors of butterscotch and toasted nuts come forward, balanced by gentle spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A touch of citrus zest adds brightness, complementing the rum's inherent sweetness.
Finish: Medium-length and warming. The sweetness fades, leaving behind a pleasant dryness with echoes of oak and mild spice. A subtle char note emerges, reminiscent of toasted marshmallow, providing a satisfying conclusion to the tasting experience.
Don Q Gold Rum is carefully crafted using a blend of rums aged for up to 5 years in American white oak barrels, which impart a smooth, mellow character. The rum is then filtered through charcoal to remove color, resulting in a light golden hue, before being blended with younger rums to achieve its signature flavor profile.
