This is for all of you California Rum drinkers. You can get Don Q Cristal now at BEVMO. So go and check BEVMO's website for availabity. I just bought 12 bottles at the BEVMO on Bayshore in San Francisco. A couple of other tidbits of information about Don Q Cristal is that is the only rum distilled to a fourth level and it doesn't have added coloring or aromatics of any kind. It is indeed the best rum in the world ! Jose Diaz - [email protected]

My wife just came back from Puerto Rico and bought me a gift how sweet!!! And wow a bottle of rum I love rum but only white or clear she bought Don Q gold I was thinking hangover cause of other darker rum I have had.Not the case here and was very smooth I just turned 50 and still learning very satisfied. P.S I love my wife.

I remember back when I went to Muerto Island as a kid. I remember Tito had this goat that all he drank was DonQ rum. So funny. My parents were friends of the this family and for the years we were in Puerto Rico loaned my father a plane of theirs and we would go to Ponce weekends and stay in their beach houses. They had a bird ? that was very large and all kinds of birds were in it. Although I was in the 5th grade at this time, they let me drive a jeep they had and all the kids road around with me. We drove to their marina and all up and down the beach. Today I am 67 so you know this family left a lasting impression on me. I also remember Mariam S. who had one arm. My parents are no longer living but we never forgot the fun we had at the Isle of Hope.

For those of you who are Don Q Fans...here's where you can go to buy the product: http://www.crownwineandspirits.com/s-227-don-q-rum.aspx This is a store in Florida that carries practically every product Don Q produces. But go to your favorite liquor store and ask for it as distribution has grown steadily. Enjoy!!!

Hello all, I also just came back from PR and I just had some Don Q Crystal Rum. Great stuff for the price. I'd like to purchase some but I don't know anyplace in northern CA to purchase it at. Can anyone please help me locate a source that I can get it from. I'd be most greatful for the help. My email is [email protected].

Hello and good news, starting 01AUG09, Ohio is going to start selling Don Q Cristal, 750ml only, so far.... Go to your store and ask for this state code 2734B, the price between $10.85 to $11.00..... Enjoy it!!!

Just returned from an island wedding in Culebra, Puerto Rico and Don Q Crystal was served all night. Best rum I have ever tasted in my life clean crisp flavor= and no hang over- amazing!! I only brought two bottles home with me and now can not find it in Cincinnati- very sad.

This Rum is better then any other, to me it seems to have somewhat of a speced flavor. After spending a lot of time in PR this is the only rum I buy. If you don't know ABC sells it.

To all my fellow real Puerto Rican rum drinkers, I have found a website that sells Don Q Limon, Crystal, Gold. The website is called www.winechateau.com. Enjoy. Herbert

Good flavor, try it.

This rum is so amazing. My last roommate was from Puerto Rico, and he turned me on to it. It goes down easier than Captain Morgan and Bacardi, and it's cheaper. In my local liquor store, it's on the bottom shelf, but it should be on the top.

I NEED DON Q I WAS IN PUERTO RICO N CAME BACK WITH A BOTTLE N IM ALL OUT :( ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO FIND SOME IN NEW YORK OR EVEN OFF THE INTERNET IT WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED

does anyone know where to buy this in southern california???

people if you never drink or taste don q cristal do you know how much its good so im looking for the price or for the liquor store thr sale this drink thank you very much

These Don Q products are now OU kosher certified. Certainly says much for this great company.

Don Q is the paradigm of rum...

Don Q is simply the best. I really want to get my hands on some Don Q Limon. The websites people mentioned (samswine.com and popswin.com) only sell cristal and gold. Does anyone know where online to purchase limon????????

Is not the best comercial rum around the world. But is the most the best rum from PR ant the best selling in the island........

Nada se compara al sabor de Don Q Crystal!!!! Thanks to TonyAZ for the online listing of Pops.

Great rum. Get you some!

Don Q is by far a jewel, no wonder it bares the name of the great novel by Cervantes. If you are from Puerto Rico like myself, you will know there's no other rum in the world that stands a chance. And it is true that if you go to Puerto Rico, everybody will tell you that Don Q is our rum of choice. Actually Bacardi is not originally from PR, it is cuban, but they moved their production to PR. Don Q is the real native rum, what a rum should really taste, and Serrales has been producing it since 1861 without changing anything. So if you haven't tried it yet do so, because for me it's like the 8th wonder of the world. Suggestion: When visiting Puerto Rico buy DonQ on the airport on your way out, hey!!! this way you wouldn't have drank it before arriving to your homes. (this is what I do everytime I leave the island) So SALUD, and Enjoy!!!!!

Best rum ever. I first tried it in Ponce where it is made. Sweet nectar of the sugar cane, god bless you.

Don Q is being imported by Future Brands (Absolut Vodka) in the mainland. It is available in Florida, New York, LA, Chicago and Texas. If you don't find it at your nearest Liquor Store, just ask them to get it for you. Tell them is distribute by Future Brands and they should be able to get it.

the best f&^#%^&g; rum ever made.. of course is PUERTO RICAN.

i have been drinking it since i was sixteen and is glory when i drink it and now that i move up to cleveland im pulling my hair cause nobody carries it

I just came back from Puerto Rico after having been there for a month, and I got addicted to Don Q Limon. Does anyone know where I can buy that from online, I'm pretty sure that they don't sell it in stores anywhere. I will never go back to bacardi after tasting the Don Q Limon. Cruzan may be able to hold me over until I can go back to PR for more, but until then does anyone have any clues?

the ultimate neutral mixing rum. Like vodka.

This rum is the BEST period. You'll never find in any other brand such a strong yet smooth flavor that this rum offers. Besides there is literally no hangover whatsoever, just keep drinking and everything will be alright. Enjoy!

Want Don Q goto www.samswine.com You can click on rum or country to find it. The large bottles (handles) are the best deal. Your Welcome.

Marvelous. No medicinal aftertaste. Good straight or mixed, particularly with 7 up.

Very smooth drinking light rum. Its sweet, but doesn't have the aftertaste that Bacardi does.

The best rum that can be had for less than $20.00 per bottle. Found this gem on a cruise through PR 8 years ago. Now everyone I know that leaves the country bound for carribean is asked to bring a few bottles home for me. We need to find a good online source for this stuff.

GREAT TASTING and affordable are just a few of the attributes this rum has. By far the best rum on the market, Don-Q is in a class of its own and has a name for itself in Puerto Rico and the international market. Fanatics like myself are slowly introducing it to the US market, so if you get the opportunity to try it and you love it, just remember a guy known as El Capi told you so!

this rum kicks ass.the best rum ever!!

First discovered in San Juan on cruise ship trips. Now discovered they sell it in Tijuana (Mexico BC) right at the Arch at North End of Revolution Avenue. I bring back a fifth on each Mexico visit, because this rum is smoooooth and wonderful. Yes, drink it straight, or on rocks, or with coke. It's the best.

This is the best tasting Rum - so clean and smooth. We got hooked on it in our trips to P.R. A freind of ours found it for sale in Cincinatti- so he brought us home a bottle. So somebody is importing it!

First learned of all DonQ rum products during Military Service stationed at Juana Diaz Ft Allen during 1961 to 1963. Remember Mr. Tito Wirshing and Muerto Island well during that period. Have since found no better rums made anywhere. It is extremely sad that no distribution is offered to the Mainland USA. Must contend on trips to the Caribbean to stock up.

I've drank Don Q Crystal with Mr. Serralles himself (the NICEST folks you could ever meet, by the way) and I don't even like rum! THE best, bar none. With coke, with water. or straight up. No hangover, absoloutly quality liquor. Anything less, and you're just kidding yourself! Dont even consider anything less. -Wakula (thanks Felix!)

I've tried Bacardi, Cpt. Morgan, Malibu, Myer's and I simply keep coming back to this one. It's smooth (no harsh finish) and leaves a nice lingering hint of sweet and molasses. Problem is, you can only get it in PR. Not available in the 50 states yet. Bummer!

good and strong..like your mom :*

I was born there and rum Don Q is what we all drank since little, we never even bothere trying other stuff until later and we always went back to Don Q. It was not only the cool and popular rum but it was just plain good, every foreigner that came over here they always asked for all sorts of stuff but once they tried Don Q, they would buy bottles bcs not only it was cheap but it was the best to mix with just regular coke or a nice cold lemonade, so drink up if you can find it outside Puerto Rico, Salud!

Not sure what the bottom two people were drinking but Don Q is excellent ... smooth ..not bitter and no hangover ! What a punch ... two drinks and you will be flying ! Travel to PR often ... drink of choice !

I'm sorry for the bad taste of Reign32 and Faliodo. They must like Barcardi better, but to each his own. But Tekky1 and elvingt you guys know what good taste is. I'm from Puerto Rico and like elvingt says, they don't even bother with the US market they make enough $$$$ on the island. But, sometimes I wish they come to the US market so that they can show how good they are. Only one recommendation to any one that goes to Puerto Rico for vacation, buy Don Q, I think you woun't be dissapointed. Also, try their 38 reserve, it's even better. (Let's hope I got the name right)

Crap drink not worth my money

Don Q is the WORST rum I have ever had for sure.

I recently attended a conference in Ponce Puerto Rico, while there I had the opportunity to test a few of their better rums. I must admit, Don Q Cristal is the best rum I have ever had. If you ask any of the locals what's the island's best rum, 99% of them will tell you Don Q Cristal. When you ask them about Bacardi, they will tell you that is what they export. If you ever get the chance, try a bit of Don Q, you will be glad you did.

Anyone who loves rum knows this is the best Rum their is. Especially if you are from Puerto Rico. Just FYI, if you go to Puerto Rico and you ask for Bacardi, even though it is Puerto Rican Rum also, they will know you are a tourist. Only tourists drink Bacardi. Don Q makes so much money everywhere else, that they don't bother with the U.S. Market that Bacardi has. Once you taste it, you'll know. No after taste and no hangover the next day.
