Don Q Gran Añejo Rum

Aging mellows the premium offering from the Puerto Rican rum house; it also coaxes out new flavors and aromas. A nose of caramelized oranges, citrus zest and herbal vegetables gives way to a palate with tropical fruits, caramel and vanilla.

The finish has hints of salty minerals, molasses and coconuts. The rum is made with freshly harvested sugar cane, which is crushed and then fermented using a proprietary strain of yeast that’s been used for more than seventy-five years.

After it’s distilled five times, it’s matured in American white oak casks; each bottle is a blend of rums aged three to twelve years, and Solera rums aged up to twenty years. The rum is brought to proof using water from the Río Inabón, which travels through Puerto Rico’s volcanic mountains and lends earthy, mineral-driven notes to the spirit.
