Don Q Double Aged Vermouth Cask Finish Rum
Don Q Double Aged Vermouth Cask Finish rum ventures beyond the expected and offers rum aficionados an innovative way to enrich their cocktail experience. This blend of rums is first aged 5 to 8 years in Puerto Rico in American white oak barrels and then finished for 4 to 6 weeks in Mancino Vecchio vermouth casks crafted from Italian oak. The prolonged interaction between the rum and the sweet vermouth-soaked casks results in a flavor profile with hints of cherry and raisins, honey, dark chocolate and vanilla. The double aging process imparts a unique complexity and richness of flavor not found in any other rum. Simply put, Don Q Double Aged Vermouth Cask Finish rum is nothing short of exceptional.
On the nose it feels quite fruity and floral. Maraschino liqueur, honey, melon, apricot, almonds, pine tree, violets and rose petals. Cinnamon, bianco vermouth – which is interesting as this was finished in a sweet vermouth cask, drops of nail varnish, lemon zest, sweet cherries, white grapes and hints of sea salt. It’s an interesting flavor combination that I wouldn’t normally expect in a rum.
On the palate it’s very floral/botanical again. If I didn’t know I would’ve thought this is a Perfect Rum Manhattan with a touch of Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur. Almonds and roses petals again. A prominent dry/bianco vermouth, lemon and grapefruit zests, cardamom, hints of juniper and some cloves.
