About the Don Q brand:

Don Q is not just rum – it is a living tradition that was born in the heart of Puerto Rico and has been inspiring lovers of quality rum around the world for more than 150 years. Behind its creation and development is the Serrallés family, whose dedication and craftsmanship are reflected in every drop of this premium spirit.

It all began in the 19th century, when Don Juan Serrallés produced the first barrels of rum in a copper pot still imported from France. Not only did he lay the foundations for the future Don Q brand, but he also helped transform Puerto Rico into a global rum powerhouse. His legacy lives on today in every delicious sip – smooth, pure and characteristic of Don Q.

The brand's base is the Destilería Serrallés in the town of Mercedita, which Don Juan named after his wife Mercedes. It is here that tradition is blended with modern techniques to create rums that excel in their balanced flavor, smoothness, and depth.
