I was in a small English village pub in Cornwall. Asked for Zaccapa rum but no luck. Barkeep suggested I try this small batch sipping rum from the Philippines called Don Papa. It was the smoothest and most flavorful rum I have tasted. Plantation Anniversary being a very close second.
Best rum for me! Love the sweet aroma, love the times with Papacek, cause those are times of good mood

Before you drink this, you must understand that though it is labelled as an aged rum, this has a lot of characteristics of spiced rum.
For my personal taste this is great, I have a sweet tooth so the slight caramel event, and sweet orange peel taste is something I can drink all night. Lovely stuff but avoid if you don't like sweeter rums
I Tried a bunch of Rums and I can easily say this is the best rum! Really. It's smells,tastes like vanilla/caramel. It is so smooth but at the same time make you drunk very very fast.
I tried the 10 years one and it's a bit to strong(This one is 40% and 10 years is 43%).
Try it! For me this is what I am compeering others rums with.

I just can't understand why this Rum splits people so. Whilst I rate this as one of my favourite sipping Rums others dislike it. All I can suggest is that you try it for yourselves. I think that you will enjoy it. Probably the best value for money Rum that you can buy
Köpte dem i Biarritz. Fantastiskt god, mycket smaker med sötma.

I just came back from a trip to Negros Oriental, Philippines where Don Papa rum is made. Like the lush,sweet and beautiful island of Negros, Don Papa will put you in a state of sweet vanilla heaven being one of the smoothest rums I've ever had. Goes very well with Ginger Ale. Salamat Don Papa!
This rum is great! one of the best i have ever tried. Sweet and good spices. might be sweet for some people, but the mix is fantastic.
