Don Papa 10-Year

Strong Orange flavour and strong somehow artificial flavoures... However, quite nice if you like sweet and aromatic rums..

Nice nose like butterscotch very strong, solid sweet desert type rum but not overly more like candyish

A stronger version of the famous Philippine rum bottled at 43% ABV. The rum has been aged for 10 years in fired barrels where American whiskey was previously aged.

Bottle: Classic Don Papa with cork cap supplied in a tube.
Colour: Dark brown

Nose: Sweet, fruity and quite pleasant. It is very similar to the classic 7 year old version. It smells of vanilla, flowers, cocoa, tutti frutti candy, liquorice, caramel and cinnamon.
Mouth: Sweet, but less sweet than the 7YO version. There is also more alcohol strength. On the palate, I could detect chocolate, vanilla, mango, ripe apricots and cherries and, compared to the 7 YO, more wood.
Aftertaste. Short to medium.

Summary: Compared to the 7YO version, it's a more mature rum, but it's still kind of over-scented. The aroma and taste are better, but the big price difference between these two rums is not justified in my opinion. It is just good marketing.

Rating: 7/10

Like this rum, nice to sip straight or with ice. Is it worth the extra cash compared to the other rums? Don’t know.

Tastes pretty good, has a flavour i just can't place and it's a bit on the "boring" side but not bad

Duft: Score:
Smag: Score:

Aromes plus intenses et plus concentrés que sa version classique de 7ans. Mais reste très sucré malgré tout.

I saw this rum at my local store and I must say the bottle design is quiet an eye catcher. But don't judge a book by its cover.
First time I tried it, the aroma really surprised me. It reminds me of an bubble gum ice cream I liked as a child. There are notes of orange and sticky sweetness.
On the palate you have nice fruity notes but not quite as complex as you expect from the aroma. Behind the sweet beginning there are some unpleasant alcoholic notes and the finish is not very long.

It's better than the 8 year, but not a top notch sipping rum

Aromas of honey, orange peel and butter. A sweet and smooth sniff. The flavor is dominated by orange followed by spice and spiciness. Its not that sweet as smells. Long lasting finish with taste of old medicine. Overall combined its not my taste.
