Don Q Rum Launches Double-Aged Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish Rum

Don Q Rum is excited to announce the launch of their latest luxury offering, the Double-Aged Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish Rum. This special release is elegantly crafted for those who appreciate fine rum and marks a significant addition to the famed Selección Exclusiva line. The limited-edition rum, with only 2,000 bottles produced, showcases the deep-rooted craftsmanship synonymous with Puerto Rican rum, while embracing the complexities drawn from European cask aging traditions.

Set to hit select retailers and online platforms starting November 15, this exquisite spirit promises an exceptional tasting experience, combining rich heritage with innovative distillation techniques. The Double-Aged Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish begins its aging process in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels for a minimum of seven years. Following this period, it undergoes an 11-month finishing process in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks sourced directly from Spain. This meticulous cask enhancement imparts a luxurious velvety texture to the rum and layers of intricate flavors including hints of dried fruits and a touch of honey.

Silvia Santiago, Master Blender and Senior Vice President of Manufacturing at Destilería Serrallés, expressed her excitement about the new release, saying, "At Destilería Serrallés, we're always seeking ways to honor tradition while embracing innovation. With the Pedro Ximénez Double Cask Finish, we've crafted an expression that reflects the depth and elegance possible when Puerto Rican rum is paired with the complexity of European cask aging."

The rum's presentation is striking, flaunting a deep mahogany color with golden amber reflections that beckon enthusiasts. On the nose, an intricate bouquet emerges with layers of dried figs, apricots, toasted oak, and aromatic sherry wine. The palate is no less enchanting; it unfolds into a rich tapestry of raisins, baking spices, oak, and subtle vanilla notes, culminating in a honeyed sweetness. This allows the drinker to relish the exquisite balance and depth achieved through the rum's double cask journey.

The craftsmanship that went behind the making of the Don Q Double-Aged Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish did not go unnoticed in the industry. Recently, it was awarded a Gold Medal and an impressive 90-point rating from the Beverage Testing Institute (BevTest), showcasing its refined quality and innovative character.

Each bottle stands not only as a testament to patience and precision but also encapsulates the artistry of fusing aged rum with the delicate intricacies imparted by sherry cask finishing. With an ABV of 44% (88 proof), this rum is poised to be a showstopper among rum connoisseurs.
