Don Q Double Cask Port Finish Rum

Don Q's Port Cask Finish comes from Silvia Santiago — with the distillery for 50 years and Puerto Rico's first female master blender — working alongside master blender Liza Cordero, released in February 2023 alongside a sibling Zinfandel Cask Finish. The base rum ages 5 to 8 years in American white oak, then spends an unusually long secondary maturation — over three years — resting in European Old Tawny Port wine casks, far longer than the typical finishing period, which is where the "double aged" name comes from. Official tasting notes describe some pleasant astringency alongside complex dry fruit and just a touch of sweetness. Tastings.com's detailed review found roasted coconut butter, kola nut, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, with a long finish bringing gingersnap cookies, fresh coconut, walnut paste, black tea, bitter cocoa, dates, and figs — genuinely recommending a single ice cube and an hour to let it fully unfold. Other tasters describe a lovely, port-forward nose with real elegance, where the port character lingers and entwines itself into the rum rather than just sitting on top. Don Q also makes separate Sherry, Cognac, and Zinfandel cask finishes, each with its own distinct profile.
