DON PAPA RUM
Date: 4.02.2020
Don Papa is inspired by Sugarlandia, a dangerous and seductive world where things are not quite as they seem and where time is surprisingly fluid. It’s a beautiful place where your senses are heightened and your mind is free.
Distilled and aged in American oak barrels on the island of Negros Occidental (known locally as Sugarlandia), the pure, original Negros sugar cane is the foundation for Don Papa Rum’s long, rich-textured finish. The namesake of Don Papa Rum is inspired by the unsung hero and mystic, Papa Isio, who was one of the leading figures of the late 19th century Philippine revolution. Since its launch, Don Papa has won numerous international awards for the liquid and its distinctive packaging, the revered design agency Stranger & Stranger.
Don Papa Rum carries the long-standing traditions of Filipino rum making as a first-class, expressive liquid that has gained loyal followers among spirits enthusiasts and industry insiders, globally. The complex and delicious tasting rum offers a unique taste that rum drinkers, brown spirits lovers and newcomers to the spirit category can all enjoy.
Every year Don Papa will release a limited edition expression.
Don Papa Rum is available in Sainsburys, Majestic, major specialist retailers and online, as well as top bars and restaurants UK-wide.
Don Papa 7YO (40% ABV)
Profile
Matured in the foothills of Mount Kanlaon, Don Papa 7 Year Old Rum is aged in ex-Bourbon and ex-Rioja American Oak casks for depth of flavour, before being blended to perfection by their Master Distiller.
With vibrant citrus zest, mango and sweet spices on the nose, the resultant blend delights with bold fruit flavours, fresh ginger and vanilla cream in the mouth. With a touch of dry, toasted oak on its long smooth finish, as we say on Negros, it’s a rum that’s good enough to drink neat.
Don Papa 10YO (43% ABV)
Profile
It takes a long time to harness real wisdom and a true depth of character. Ten long years in fact. Matured slowly in the foothills of Mt. Kanlaon, the rich, complex rum draws its vibrancy, spice and velvety smoothness from time spent slumbering in a variety of oak casks.
Each one brings a unique element: from softer, buttery, sweet ex-American bourbon barrels, to darker, bolder and more intense sherry casks.
Don Papa ten year old is a rare breed: a perfect balance of the elements and a vibrant treat for the senses.
Don Papa Sherry Cask (45% ABV)
Profile
Wander around the bustling streets of Old Jerez de la Frontera and you’ll experience the true essence of Spain’s rich liquid heritage. Here, sherry drips from every pore and this deliciously aromatic character is perfectly captured in our sherry cask matured rum.
Expertly aged in a variety of the finest Spanish sherry casks, this beautifully balanced rum has crisp, refreshing notes of Fino, alongside unctuous, sticky-sweet flavours of Pedro Ximenez and finally, a distinct nutty, spicy note from rare, highly-prized Palo Cortado casks.
