Review: Don Q Cristal Rum

Don Q Cristal rum was introduced in 1978.  While Bacardi is the worlds best selling rum, DonQ is the best selling rum in Puerto Rico, where both are produced.  Don Q began distilling rum in 1865, but after a decades long absence in the US, they re-launched the brand for US distribution in 2006.  It is made with the finest molasses, fresh volcanic mountain water from the Rio Inabon, and a unique strain of yeast kept active and in use for over 75 years.  After fermentation the rum is distilled five times before being aged 1 1/2 to 5 years in American White Oak Barrels.  After blending, it is charcoal filtered before bottling on site at 80 proof.The aroma is vanilla and banana with a sugar cane alcohol backing.  The flavor is banana, vanilla, and coconut cream.  I pick up a hint of caramel at the midpoint, before fading with some heat and a dry citrus finish.  While I don’t pick up any rum burn as I swallow, there is some heat with and sting on the finish.
