Production Details
The secret behind the captivating flavors of Don Q Oak Barrel Spiced Rum lies in its artisanal production process. First, the finest sugarcane from Puerto Rico is transformed into rich, flavorful molasses. Expertly fermented and distilled in column stills, the spirit is then aged for a minimum of 3 years in American white oak barrels. This aging imparts a refined complexity to the rum, which is then masterfully infused with a proprietary blend of spices and botanicals, resulting in a one-of-a-kind sensory experience.
