Don Papa Small Batch

Sweet aroma of vanilla and orange (actual a review I read called it marmalade which is more accurate). The taste is not unpleasant, however understand the issue with the artificially sweetened flavour.

I don't have time for the wannabe rum snobs who immediately discount it as they have found it has been artificially sweetened, however that said, whilst I am glad I have a bottle of this in my collection, it most probably would not be replaced once finished.

Ok, c'est pas un master piece... Mais de là à le descendre comme beaucoup le font.... Je trouve les commentaires très durs. Je le trouve agréable, rond, un petit goût de caramel. Bref, il plaît généralement... mais pas à tout le monde , c'est un fait. A goûter pour se faire son idée.

Bought this one for my father, but in my opinion it tastes very synthetic. Dont think it is as aged as they say. Bottle looks nice on the shelf so keep it there and dont touch it anymore.

a very artificial meme rum from the philippines. artificially flavoured, sweetened and coloured. the bottle and label are probably worth more than the liquid thats inside. the power of marketing and nice design.

fun thing is, its drinkable though

Don Papa je sedmiletý blend rumů, který dozrává klasicky v dubových sudech po bourbonu (pouze jednou plněné) a v opálených sudech z amer. bílého dubu (STR). Je vyráběn z jedné z nejsladších odrůd cukrové třtiny vůbec. A to díky vulkanické půdě u úpatí hory St. Kanlaon.

Cukrová třtina se lisuje na místě, 48 hodinový fermentát se destiluje v destilerii Bago - jeho základ před ředěním má 61%. Blenduje se za studena v blendovacích tancích o teplotě 2° C. Rum se v poslední fázi filtruje přes uhlí.
Rum je výrazně doslazován. V měření z roku 2015 obsahoval na litr 29 g cukru, 2,4 g glycerolu (E422) a 359 mg vanilinu.

Aroma: Vanilka, silná pomerančová esence, ale zvláštní, umělohmotná a nerumová
Chuť: Extrémní umělá sladkost, směs nečokoládových bonbónů
Dozvuk: Opět ultra sladký a velmi krátký
Sladkost: 3/3
Ochutnán 2x vzorek
Likérová záležitost. Vůbec to nepřipomíná rum; spíš směs několika likérů. Tato značka nebude můj šálek "rumu".

Great rum to have on the rocks. Subtle taste that has become a great whiskey replacement

I wanted to like this rum (my wife is form this Island from the foothills of Mt Kanlaon where it's made) it comes with a beautiful design but it wasn't what I was hoping for. However it manages to give a nice first impression. If you just have a shot then it may impress you and also the ladies. Vanilla and other spices will come through with a surprising pleasant smoothness but if you like to sip your rum then it will get boring. It's flavored rum that can put a smile on the ladies face but sippers like me may want to look elsewhere.

První "opravdový" rum. Za mne na běžné popíjení ideální.

This is some sort of sugar Liquer with orange sirup, yess it is disgusting! Yess if you like it, you know nothing about Noble Drinks!
It is not worth a single cent of its 36 € !

I enjoyed this as mixed or straight to me it’s a nice spiced rum. I’d rank it a middle class rum but top of middle class sweet and smooth.
