Don Q uses a multiple distillation system to produce a cleaner, more refined, and more delicate flavor profile. It’s then aged for 1½ to 5 years in American white oak barrels to impart a touch more smoothness.
There's a fair amount of alcohol nose, along with some smoke and mild baking spices. On the palate, more heat, more smoke and a touch of milk and white chocolate. Overall, this is mostly a neutral spirit with a light body, which is the intended style. The finish is dry and short with a pleasant, faint ginger spiciness.
