Very unique rum. Hard to make up my mind. I ordered 10 small rum samples, this was one of them. It certainly stood out for being so different, and it was smooth enough to enjoy straight on ice. Very sweet and a little spicy almost, I'd like to try it again, but the full bottle runs for about $50 here and I'm not convinced it's worth it.

Edit: I have a friend that visits The Philippines sometimes on business, so I have been able to get a full bottle for quite a cheap price. To be honest, it's too sweet. I can understand why so many people complained that it's not even a rum. The more rum you drink, the less you'll enjoy Don Papa.

Nice bottle, but the taste disappoints. The rum is too sweet with too much tropical fruit tones in both the taste and smell. Reminds me of flavored bubblegum and caramel candy. Wouldn’t recommend this other than perhaps as a mixer.

Moje klasika. Musím mít vždy doma. Myslím, že bude chutnat každému.

Heavy alcohol taste, not too much complexity or flavor.

Got a dram of this in the advent calendar. A clear caramel note upon opening, really smooth as a sipper.

Too sweet, too much vanilla. Not bad, but there is always something less "annoying" :-)

The initial aroma and flavour is very sweet and full of banana. Once settled more aniseed flavours start to emerge. A combination that might not be suitable and might be a bit too strong for some. It is very smooth and easily sipped on ice so should be a compliment in a contain arsenal.

Sometimes I like to drink a glass with ice - but a bit too sweet.

Kann man abends mal gern ein Glas trinken, trinkt die Frau auch mit...

I could hardly call this a rum. From the start you feel the smell of sweetness and powerful vanilla flavor. The first sip is alcoholic, sweet and liquorish. I didn't enjoy it too much.
