Don Q Piña (60 proof)
Visual: Clear.
Nose: Sweet rum and fresh pineapple.
Taste: Fruity with pineapple and light aged rum. This is exactly what it needs to be, and it is done well. Nothing artificial or cloying, just pineapple and blanco rum.
Finish: Medium long with a pleasant tropical fruit flavor (oddly enough I’m reminded of Juicy Fruit gum).
Overall: A well done flavored rum that should be a hit with cocktail lovers. We tried it with coconut water and ice and it definitely hit the spot.
GSN Rating: B+
