DonQ Gran Anejo Rum - #5 of Best Rum Brands

DonQ Gran Anejo Rum

In its regal-looking bottle, the Don Q Gran Anejo rum glows a rich coppery color. Pouring the liquor, the scents of vanilla, molasses and smoky chocolate drift upward, meeting the nose along with a touch of fruitcake, tobacco and oak. Swirling the liquid in the glass, long thin legs develop. Sipping the rum, it fills the mouth with a rich viscosity that is not overly thick. The initial flavors are sweet and warming, hinting of pepper, vanilla and caramel. As the rum lingers on the tongue, notes of oak and leather come to the forefront in a lasting finish. Smooth and spicy, with a lovely balance of sweet and dry flavors, Don Q Gran Anejo rum is wonderful to enjoy neat, on the rocks or perhaps splashed with ginger.
