Don Papa 10-Year

Bien loin du goût trafiqué du Don Papa. Prix tout de même élevé par rapport à des rhums de qualité équivalente

Don Papa 10 Years is een premium aged small batch rum van het eiland Negros Occidental, Filippijnen. Gedestilleerd uit een van de beste suikerrieten in de wereld, Don Papa is eerst 10 jaar gerijpt in Amerikaanse eiken vaten op de uitlopers van de berg Kanlaon om daarna tot perfectie gemaakt te kunnen worden. Op de neus heeft deze rum krachtige tonen van gedroogde vruchten, rozijnen en cadao. Het palet is rijk en zijde zacht met een vleugje kruiden en eiken. De afdronk is lang en glad met noten van cacao en vanille.

This rum is not bad with notes of cacao and brown sugar.

top chuť, top vůně, silnější bratříček, už mu chystám své zasloužené místo v domacím báru :-)

Similar nose and taste like Don papa small batch, but in aftertaste You can find chocolate.

Got this as a business gift. Its a lot better then the Don Papa small batch. Smoother, natural and not artificial tasting like the small batch. Quite enjoyed the bottle. Would give 7.5 if it was possible.

Krásná vůně, pomeranče.
V chuti pro mě trochu slabší. Na konci jsem příjemná hořkost

Tenhle rum case zacal podrazovat az 3-4 nasobek klasicke verze. Kdyz stal jednou tolik, tak se to dalo, ale i tak jsem si rikal, jestli to za to stoji.
Sussi varianta klasiky, uhlazena, trochu vic korenena na ukor ovocnych tonu.

Good rum destroyed by the hint of coffee aroma. Pity I'd say. Good drink, but ain't worth the money.

Má temně jantarovou barvu a hluboké, bohaté a svůdné aroma. V chuti se projevují výraznější tóny sušeného ovoce a kakaa s náznakem dřeva. Je lahvován při vyšším obsahu alkoholu 43%. Výraznější, silnější a temnější Don Papa

Wow a lot different from Don Papa original. Lots of flavour. It's fruity. But 10 years old?

Very sweet but very good. Normally I prefer drier rums but this one is really good. It is sweet but strong and full of flavor...

Much better and more complex than 7y. Similar aroma but not so sweet and more complex taste, heavy body with more layers. Long and warm aftertaste. Bit overpriced.

43° strong, good, typical Don Papa, still sweet with candied fruits, Vanilla, uninterchangeable. I like the full taste.

If you like sweet rum, you will find Don Papa 10YO great.
Sugar+vanilla and very soft aftertaste. I don't believe that it is true 10YO rum, but taste really impressed me.

Taste 6/10. More original & better in taste than small batch but strange dont like it not well blended some sweetnes (not overly), not much burn but also nothing intresting here & very expensive for its price.

Rich, dark, fairly smooth. Sweet and fragrant with orange peel. Perhaps the true purists will wonder what 10 years did to it.

Is it very good? Yes. Is it excellent? No. Is the taste worth approx. 4 times more money spent on the bottle than regular Don Papa? No. Smooth taste with traces of citrus fruit. Verdict, including price to quality ratio: 70%.

Umiddelbart synes jeg faktisk den almindelige Don Papa Small batch er bedre. Måske jeg synes jeg noget andet, hvis man smager dem samtidigt. 10-year er meget sød og frugtig i duften, så man bliver overrasket, når den starter med at sparke din smagsløg igang , for der er virkelig power i til at starte med, men den bliver hurtig overtaget af brændt sukker, rosiner og dadler. Derefter fornemmer jeg en smule appelsin suppleret med lidt peber. Overordnet set sidder jeg dog tilbage med en oplevelse af frugt, og det trækker ned.

I tested original Don Papa like a year ago. I dont remember the taste of it but I remember it wasnt anything special. Ten years old version is far better but still has a lot space to grow in quality. In Czech Republic you can get a bottle of 10yo for over 150USD and I dont really think this rum is worth of that money.

Bottle: Original Don Papa had a nice bottle and 10yo is almost the same, just in different colors. Its kinda pretty, but no original idea here.

Color: semi-dark with notes of melted gold.

Smell: I can smell some spice from Don Papa yet I am not sure about which it is. I smell some raisins and vanilla. There is almost no trace of alcohol smell at all, because its killed with sweetness. You can smell caramel as well

Taste: When you put Don Papa into a glass you can see its very sweet from how the liquid moves in the glass. And yes, it is very sweet. And also very smooth. It has very light traces of alcohol, but what you can taste most is caramel, raisins and sweetness in general. Some kind of dried fruit and thats all.

Don Papa 10yo is not bad. I wouldnt refuse it if it was offered to my to drink, but definitelly not buying a bottle of my own.

Big step up for me from the ordinary Don Papa. Not keen on the aroma of the normal Don Papa but this is better and it has a dinstinctive flavour. Good sipper.

J'attendais de lui qu'il soit plus élaboré. Il rejoint fort le don papa classique. Cependant pour les amateurs du genre il est bon mais je le trouve un peu chère du coup...

The smell is very strong butterscotch and also very alcoholic. The taste is a nice mixture of vanilla and butterscotch and is spoiled just a little bit by the strong smell of alcohol. Overall, very smooth and enjoyable

Very very good rum, this one is for me the best reference for begin to appreciate the first rum you taste
