DON Q GRAN RESERVA XO GIFT BOX

Growing up in Puerto Rico, my dad regularly treated himself to a cool rum cocktail, and only Don Q would suffice when it came to his drinks. To this day, it’s the only rum allowed in my dad’s house in Puerto Rico. And that’s not all: when traveling for extended periods of time, my dad will typically pack at least one bottle of Don Q in his suitcase — just in case he can’t locate his rum of choice in the area. In fact, the first time he came to visit us in Austin, he traveled with two enormous Don Q bottles in his suitcase, which he’d carefully wrapped in towels and ultra-large Ziploc bags to ensure they’d remain intact during the journey. Of course, once he realized Don Q was readily available here, he stopped his intricate rum-swaddling process when packing for visits, but it just goes to show how much he loves his Don Q.

For those of you who aren’t super familiar with the brand, here’s a primer: Don Q is Puerto Rico’s #1 rum, and the family-owned distillery goes back 157 years and six generations of rum makers.

This Father’s Day, gift dad an extra special bottle of  Don Q Gran Reserva XO, which is a blend of rums aged between 9 and 12 years in American white oak barrels, with the addition of Solera rums aged up to 55 years. Available in a sophisticated, limited-edition gift box, it’s the perfect gift for a dad who is just top shelf.

Visit DonQ.com to find a store near you. Don Q is also available for purchase online and for local delivery.
