Don Q
Reserva 7 Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted:
Country: Puerto Rico
Alcohol: 40%
Copper color. Aromas and flavors of over ripe banana, coconut cream, umami, and vanilla wafers with a full body and a long finish with nuances of buttered toast, smoked tonka, green banana, and cafe au lait. With its vanilla wafer notes, this would make for an excellent Old Fashioned inspired cocktail and a great sipper.

About
Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)
Añejo and Age-Dated Rums are aged Rums from different vintages or batches that are mixed together to insure a continuity of flavor in brands of Rum from year to year. Some aged Rums will give age statements stating the youngest Rum in the blend (e.g., 10-year-old Rum contains a blend of Rums that are at least 10 years old). A small number of French island Rums are Vintage Dated.
