Don Papa Small Batch

The best thing about this rum is the design of the bottle and label. But the content is awful. I should have read the reviews before buying it.

I can't believe I paid more for this than I did for a Barcelo Imperial, or Havana Club Selection de Maestros.

This is....something. But definitely not genuine. I am lucky to get it as gift. The gift, that keeps giving.

It was a gift. High expectations but
very strange artificial taste. Nice bottle but that's all!

Der Rum geht gar nicht, ich und meine Freunde mögen ihn absolut nicht. Pur und mit Cola nicht genießbar. Es ist mir ein Rätsel, wieso dieser Rum Liebhaber findet.

Scoring this Rum is not easy... each and every one of us has (or should have) a clear idea of a what a rum should taste like. This is not Rum in my book, I will explain why.
As you open the boottle you're literally overpowered by a scent of vanilla and bubble-gum, trying to focus, try harder and you may smell a hint of Grand Marnier.... just maybe.
As you sip it: sugar, sugar, and more sugar, a sugar syrupy bomb in your mouth that covers everything, once you get accustomed you may taste some banana a vanishing hint of citron.
Finish: nearly absent, nothing is left.
Packaging is nice, read some reviews that were positive (seriously?) and curiosity made me buy, to me this "beverage" may be good for cocktails.

It is overpriced sugar in bottle, not a good rum, maybe for ladies.

Tohle je moje krevni skupina. Mam tad sladsi rumy a Don Papa je na vrcholu. Pro me skvely pomer ceny a kvality.
Pro nekoho, kdo preferuje ostrejsi chut to nebude, ale pokud si uzivate sladsi tony, pak by tohle mela byt jasna volba.

Its a flavour you dont remember in the morning. Its a very neutral rum flavour

2-3/10 Serious improvement needed. probably contains fake artificial flavors. I left drink unfinished..waste of money. :-/

It's just not a rum. It's artificial vanilla fake rum. Never ever buy it… The world need to know how fake this product is

I was on holiday with my wife in France, and I let the bartender choose. He gave me this one... it’s nothing for my taste... even 2 hours after I drank it I could still taste the chemical candy flavour in my mouth. Believe me, there are much better ones!

Es un ron muy peculiar, cuando lo probé no pude dejar de notar el aroma a Panetón (quienes viven en Perú o conocen Perú saben de lo que hablo), ese aroma peculiar a frutas confitadas y vainilla, el cual jamás esperarías en un ron. Pero vaya sorpresa este ron lo tiene, al tomarlo se puede sentir el sabor de la vainilla, frutas secas y confitadas, y azúcar. No digo que sea un mal ron, solo que es muy peculiar, lo bueno es que sí es bebible solo, y si gustas mezclarlo sería conveniente que lo hagas con agua tónica, o alguna bebida amarga, no te recomendaría que lo hagas con alguna bebida azucarada porque estarías haciendo una mazamorra liquida.
Solo para añadir, la presentación me parece muy acertada; es muy llamativa.

Ma femme aurait mis 10, moi 0, donc 5 pour la moyenne. Un tout ou rien, on commence par lui mais on arrête assez vite. Quand même quelques goûtes dans un Mojito pour l'originalité.

N- Caramel, warm brownie and cola candy. Piped vanilla cream, lemon meringue, packed with various sweet tropical fruits infusion on a sandy notes. Hoped for some spices but seems missing from the mix, so this smells really sweet and dark indeed. (17/25)

P- Cola flavored carbonated candy that just popping around on the palate, ripe creamy fruits, vanilla and creme brulee. Heavy and buttery distillates with relatively full body at low proof, which is a good thing, and just hoped no sugar added prior bottling...benefit of the doubt. (17/25)

F- Short, dust of sweet and hot pepper, cafe latte with cinnamon, lemony sugar candy. Round and smooth. (17/25)

Balanced:- A lizard on my head too. Melting pot of sweet fruits, but somehow is not cloying, may be the touch of lemon does helps. Try it if lemon, vanilla and cola are your things. (17/25)

Ein sehr spezieller Rum mit einer schönen Farbe.
In der Nase sehr fruchtig und süss.
Im Gaumen eine extreme, schon fast künstliche Süsse wie Kaugummi, Vanille und Fruchtnoten
aber als Ganzes nicht schlecht.
Im Abgang hält die Süsse an.
Entweder man liebt oder hasst Ihn, jedenfalls eine tolle Aufmachung!

A very special rum with a nice color.
In the nose very fruity and sweet.
In the palate an extreme, almost artificial sweetness like chewing gum,
vanilla and fruit notes,but as a whole not bad.
In the finish the sweetness don't stop.
Either you love or hate Him, at least a great presentation!

Smooth and sweet with vanilla flavor. Little complex. Nearly No burn. A typical desert Rum like the pyrat XO. Instead of fresh orange, here vanilla is the magic dust.

dlouho jsem se nemohl rozhoupat k ochutnavce. nenjak jsem nevedel co cekat. a velmi skvele prekvapeni cekalo uvnit. skvela ovocna chut po kandovanem ovoci. bez alkoholove stiplavosti.

Un rhum des Philippines âgé théoriquement de 7 ans
Il fait sûrement moins de 40% en réalité (30-35% ?)
Ce rhum est blindé de sucre et de la liqueur d'orange a été rajoutée (goût monolithe)
Buvez ceci comme un cocktail ou une liqueur.

Krásně voní, sladká chuť ovoce a vanilky, silný závěr který zahřeje, velmi dobrý rum.

I don't like it at all! So much added sugar.extreem sweet!

A very nice present to a non rum-drinker... It looks like a good rum. But as soon as you lower your nose into the glass you wonder what it is and how it can be appreciated. It's way to sweet and has a very strong orange peel aroma so I would mix it with club soda or ginger ale and add some thyme or rosemary to balance. Difficult to drink straight and coca is a definite no go!

Doux, avec un fruité agrume très prononcé. Un peu trop pour mois.

I love this rum. Its fruity, playful, full and interesting for rum-newcomers. A must for all rum enthusiasts.

Found it artificial and you can taste the added sweeteners. The one thing I could not taste was rum.
