As smooth as expected from Don Q, with notes of cinnamon and olive wood from the barrel. It brings to mind a festive, spiced beverage, though it avoids being overly sweet or dessert-like due to its dry character and minimal sugar. Uniquely, it offers the closest experience to a rum old fashioned available in a ready-made bottle.

I finally opened this bottle. The double cask sherry I sampled recently was quite good. This Don Q Vermouth is exceptionally smooth and light. Its aroma is herbal, and the finish is sweet yet brief. A truly unexpected offering from Don Q.
The finest creation from Don Q! I concur, the vermouth essence is detectable but harmoniously integrated, not overwhelming the rum. While most Puerto Rican rums are mixers, this one is meant for savoring.
Excellent. The vermouth notes are present but well-integrated, not overpowering the rum. I'll add this to my favorites list, as I've only had the opportunity to try it in bars.
Cinnamon spice upfront with a dry finish that dissolves on the tongue.
Potent, with caramel and a trace of citrus.
