LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The professional's choice for a white rum. Its neutrality is its greatest strength, providing a high-quality foundation for any rum-forward cocktail.

The Library Note

Named after the legendary Don Quixote, this rum is produced by the Serrallés family in Ponce. Since 1865, they have mastered a unique systems-distillation process that removes more impurities than typical rums, followed by aging in American white oak barrels for up to five years.
