- Description
- Don Q's Puerto Rican rum finished in Californian Zinfandel casks offers a bridge between Caribbean tradition and wine-cask innovation. The base rum, aged five to eight years in American white oak, gains additional complexity through three years in Zinfandel wood, introducing wine-derived tannins and fruit notes. Vanilla and crisp oak frame the palate, creating a lighter, more wine-forward profile than traditional rum. A versatile expression for those exploring cask-finish techniques beyond whisky or seeking complexity in their rum selection.
