Don Papa Small Batch

Mi é stato regalato dai suoceri a Natale questo Rum filippino.
Appena aperto e degustato liscio non mi ha fatto una gran impressione.
Provato con ghiaccio, lasciato 5 minuti nel bicchiere, ho avuto impressione diversa.
Bevibile, il ghiaccio fa aprire gli aromi, che appaiono migliori al palato.
La alcoolicità dei 40 gradi si fa sentire, questo rum é alcoolico, e l'invecchiamento dei 7 anni in botti di quercia si fa sentire.
Con ghiaccio c'è di meglio, ma anche di peggio.

Pure but not a complicated one, they could be add some more spice or time in the barrel.

Good tasting, Easy to appeal to everybody, actually in my opinion One of the most trendy rum for everybody

I love it. I had this with a cigar some months ago. Great complexity, pleanty of taste, it has a uniqueness of its own.

This is a great rum-based liqueur, Not really a Rum. If you want something sweet and mild and heavy in Vanilla, this is a good choice. Really shines in some Cocktails (Not Cuba libre or similarly composed Drinks, but rather Drinks that tend to be more on the sour side. Make Sure to Cut down on syrip wegen using this Drink!).
As a stand-alone Rum, Don Papa is good for beginners that are unfamiliar with Rum and people that Like spiced Rums, but is a Bit pricey for the flavour provided of you are looking for a 'proper' aged Rum (which to me is more than Made Up by the mixability).

Chtěl jsem ho zkusit už dávno , všichni o něm básnili .A je to asi dané i reklamou a moc pěknýma tubama , ale nesplnil mé očekávání . První co vás překvapí je vůně , je až přehnaná a neustále vás nutí čuchat ke sklence co to vlastně je ? Jsou tam cítit pomeranče a vanilka , hodně vanilky .Možná i něco víc ,ale ta vanilka všechno přebije .Ve výsledku to je jak nějaké bonbony ...působí to až uměle.
Chuť není úplně špatná a více méně kopíruje i čichový vjem jen ne tak extrémně , rum je méně sladký než se podle vůně tváří a má docela sílu a je vcelku hrubý a v krku pěkně zaškrábe ... .Třeba podobný Kraken mě přijde sladší a jemnější .
Dopiju flašku a novou určitě nekoupím .Ale za pokus stojí . Mě však nesednul .

Whilst not a traditional rum sat in barrels of wood for ages, there is a refreshing tang to this. It is non-offensive, unless you are looking to be offended. Yes, its sugary and for a cheery drink you can live with it. For £33 in the UK, there is a lot worse out there for the price point. Glad I have a bottle but I'm not sure I'd run out and replace when its gone.

Rating: 6/10

Smell - sweet, vanilla, fresh orange
Taste - sweet again, cinnamon, orange
After Taste - medium length, elements of cinnamon and candied orange

Nice liquore, not a great rum. Nice liquore, not a great rum

The smoothest sweet taste combined with caramel and chocolate I've sampled in a spirit beverage.

I like that rum, very smooth. Not the best Don Papa but good.
