Review: Don Q Pina Rum
Don Q Pina Rum was released August 2017. It is just making its way to my market. This may be the result of Hurricane Maria shutting down production for several weeks at Destileria Serralles. Pina is one of five flavored rums produced under the Don Q label. The others include Coco, Limon, Mojito, and Pasion. The Serralles Family has been distilling rum in Puerto Rico since 1865 using a copper pot still imported from France. Don Q Pina Rum is made with the finest molasses, fresh volcanic mountain water from the Rio Inabon, and a unique strain of yeast kept alive and in use for over 75 years. After fermentation the spirit is distilled five times and aged 12-18 months in American White Oak Barrels. The rum is charcoal filtered. Natural pineapple juice is infused with the rum base before bottling at 60 proof. Read more

Review: Jumbie Pineapple Splash
Jumbie Pineapple Splash is one of four flavor infused rums made with a blend of barrel aged rum distilled in Panama by the Jumbie Trading Company. The other flavors include Coconut, Vanilla, and Mango. Bottled at 48 proof with a splash of natural pineapple flavor, Jumbie Pineapple Splash is priced to compete with the Malibu, Cruzan, and Captain Morgan Pineapple flavored rums. While it may be a little harder to find than those big International Brands, if it tastes as good as the previously reviewed Jumbie Coconut Splash, it may be worth the time spent searching for it.
