Produced by Destilería Serrallés in Puerto Rico, Don Q Cristal is a blend of rums aged from 1½ to 5 years in American white oak barrels before being filtered.
This white rum doesn’t do anything wrong but at the same time it doesn’t much right either. I’ve had much worse tasting white rum but I’ve had few that are quite as neutral in terms of taste.
If you’re a fan of simple rums without overwhelming sweetness — but which are nonetheless perfectly palatable on their own — Don Q Cristal is a winner at an amazing price.
