Rum di stile industriale prodotto da blend di diversi rum.
Al naso si avvertono note esclusivamente dolci, in primis caramello, cocco, miele e vaniglia.
Al palato ha con un corpo leggero, il gusto è molto dolce, quasi stucchevole contrastato leggermente da lievi note agrumate.
E' un rum piacione, adatto principalmente ad un pubblico femminile e a coloro a cui piacciono i gusti dolci, infatti sembra più un liquore che un distillato. Credo che oltre al grosso quantitativo di caramello (colore scuro) siano state aggiunte delle spezie, anche se ciò non è riportato ne sull'etichetta, ne sul sito del produttore.

Consiglio per tutti: quando annusate un rum (o qualsiasi distillato), prima di inserire il naso e inspirare, effettuate un leggero soffio nel bicchiere e subito dopo provate a sentire i profumi. Questa operazione serve a svampare un po' la potenza dell'alcool che altrimenti vi porterebbe a bruciare nel naso e a coprire molti sentori.

Industrial style rum produced by a blend of different rums.
The nose is known exclusively sweet, primarily caramel, coconut, honey and vanilla.
On the palate it has a light body, the taste is very sweet, almost cloying contrasted slightly by light citrus notes.
It is a rum suitable mainly for a female audience and for those who like sweet tastes, in fact it looks more like a liqueur than a distillate. I believe that in addition to the large quantity of caramel (dark color) spice has been added, even if this is not reported on the label or on the manufacturer's website.

Advice for everyone: when you smell a rum (or any distillate), before inserting the nose and inhaling, make a slight puff in the glass and immediately afterwards try to smell the perfumes. This operation serves to escape a little 'the power of alcohol that otherwise would lead to burn in the nose and cover many scents.

Peu de longueur en bouche, mais quels aromes!!!
Du coup ce n'est pas un rhum d'exception, mais un rhum festif, qu'il faut prendre en tant que tel.

...like is shown in ratings :)
Surprising combination of very strong vanilla´s aroma and taste with spicy strong impacts. Inspiring unconventional and much better (not)rum than e.g.Pyrat XO

Not like the better aged rums: rather sweet, smooth and with a taste of orange. Not a strong finish, fades away pretty quickly. Easy consumable

un rhum bien trop sucré pour ma part
Ses notes d'orange bonbon sont bien trop présentes voire écœurantes

Rhum très aromatique, vraiment plaisant au palais, mais presque agressif. Au nez c'est une explosion, presque comme si on respirait un pot pourri destiné à parfumer une pièce. En bouche c'est vraiment atypique, la vanille et surtout les agrumes sont très présents; par contre la longueur est presque inexistante, ce qui est surprenant vu la palette aromatique développée. Il se boit très facilement, il est très agréable, sirupeux, mais on n'en boira pas plus de deux verres, l'écoeurement arrivant assez vite à cause de cette puissance aromatique.

Une superbe couleur.
Une bouteille au look très sympa, ya pas à dire...
Un nez sympa sans plus.
Une bouche agréable : très (trop?) vanillé, caramélisé. Une texture liquoreuse qui me fait dire qu il ne faut pas en boire des litres.
Peu de longueur en bouche...
En fait il est tellement sucré ce rhum que ça en devient presque ecoeurant. La magie de la chimie...on ne peut que supposer que les fûts de vieillissement ont été "travaillé" (vanille, caramel, miel...)
Au prix où il est vendu, on peux trouver beaucoup mieux même si ce Don Papa reste tout de même un produit très agréable à déguster...en petit quantité!

I must say that I love the bottle. This rum is so sweet, with a high caramel aftertaste. This is a kind of rum for people who like sweet drinks. Because of his sweetness, it loses his rum flavor.
I bought also the 10 years edition, which has a more complex flavor. But still very sweet....
Nice to have in my collection, my friends will love this bootle. But not a rum for a more experienced rum taster.
