Puerto Rican rum, and what that means
Puerto Rico has its own rules: rum that bears the island's name must have spent at least a year on oak. So even the white rum you use in a cocktail has been aged there, and only filtered afterwards.
Don Q comes from Ponce on the south coast, from the family firm Serrallés, which has been there for generations. The name refers to Don Quixote.

Destilería Serrallés is based in Ponce and is still owned by the same family. Puerto Rico is one of the largest rum producers in the world; Don Q is its best-known home-grown brand.
It is distilled from molasses in columns, which gives a lighter style than Jamaican pot still rum. Everything then matures on the island itself in oak casks.
The Signature Release is a single-cask bottling from the 2005 vintage; the Caliche is intended for behind the bar.
Even the white rum from Puerto Rico is aged: the law there requires it.
Where best to start
The Caliche is the bottle for a mojito or a daiquiri; that is what it was made for.
The single-cask Signature Release is the bottle to pour neat.
