Don Papa Small Batch Rum is produced by the Bleeding Heart Rum Company on the southern island of Negros in the Philippines. The rum is distilled from molasses, then aged for over 7 years in American oak barrels, and lastly charcoal filtered.
The name Don Papa rum was inspired by Papa Isio, a leader of the Philippine revolution against the Spanish who led his island to independence before joining the main revolutionary movement.

Great colorful bottle but full of sugar and overbearing somewhat not my style I only tried one expression
First alcohol ever that tasted so bad i had to pour it down the sink, heavy synthethical vanilla flavour, massive sweetness like syrup, and weird aftertaste, did not even work with coca cola!
This should simply put not be called rum. This is a spiced something spirit drink with a artificial flavor of vanilla. You could not even use it as a base for a drink. Any drink. It is undrinkable and if I could give it a zero i would!
Premetto che ho notato che piace a molti, soprattutto a neofiti e al genere femminile.
Ma questo non lo può salvare: troppo speziato e dociastro, a livello fastidioso, quasi pastoso, e l'invecchiamento (7 anni, giusto?) non si sente per nulla.
Secondo me, possiamo chiamarlo 'liquore speziato a base di Rum', ma non Rum e basta, così come dicono invece chiaramente il 'Kraken' o il 'Baron Samedi', ad esempio.
Se avrete inoltre la malaugurata idea di assaggiare questo rum per primo e poi non cambierete bicchiere, ne sentirete nel calice l'odore anche dopo altri 2 o 3 Rum diversi, tanto è persistente.
Ripeto: se volete un Rum che piaccia ai neofiti o alle ragazze, allora non c'è problema, visto che ha inoltre un costo abbordabile (qui in Italia sui 30€), ma, se desiderate assaporarlo in contemplazione, allora cambiate idea.
Le rhum par lequel j'ai commencé, un délice à l'époque, assez vite éclipsé par ses aînés. Facile d'accès, mais pas dénué d'intérêt, malgré un côté indus/artificiel dont on a du mal à s'accommoder quand on a goûté à mieux.
This rum is definitely missing something. I enjoyed getting through the bottle, there just needs to be more spices and rum flavourings added.
Un rom gents fort, dolç, es nota molt el sucre, amb una copeta sense gel inclús, passa molt be.
It tastes like candy and bubblegum. We smell apricot and orange marmelade.
It's a little sweet but it's okay. It reminds a little of tutti frutti. Even if there is an addition of sugar and most certainly glycerin it is still a very good Rum to sip.

"offers flavors of vanilla, honey and candied fruits"

"Egg custard and nutmeg is another thing that is brought to mind..."

Smells a lot like a vanilla and lemonade ice cream float.
"For all its sweet sugariness, its really very drying and bitter on the palate once it all settles down."

Dreadful. It's not even rum.

This rum is a cynical cash grab concocted by corporate marketers and ad men attempting to appeal to the discerning drinker. And by "discerning" I mean: has money and knows diddly squat about spirits, especially rum.
If rum had the rules and regulations of Scotch or Bourbon this stuff wouldn't even be allowed to market itself as rum. Small batch?!? LOL! Next time you're in the Philippines I dare you to visit this charming boutique distillery... Perhaps spend an evening sampling their rum and experiencing the terroir of the region. I'm sure a day at the distillery, which absolutely isn't some industrial beverage facility, would be very beautiful and romantic...
Look, the truth is that this is industrially produced cane sugar/molasses-based (I'm being generous here) ethanol which has been gussied up with all manner of sweeteners, artificial flavours, colours and god knows what else (glycerol and vanillan at least, according to lab tests) to make it palatable -- and it isn't! Bad enough that they call it rum, but it commits an even greater sin than playing fast and loose with the truth -- it tastes bad!
Oh, and aged 7 years? Hilarious. I doubt it's even been aged seven days! After all, we all know what age statements mean on rum (hint: it rhymes with truck ball). It's a good thing rum drinkers don't seem to care about things like age statements and hidden additives, otherwise they might start getting what they're paying pay for, which is quality.
