Don Papa Sherry Cask

Vraiment différent de l'habituel Don Papa : moins sucré (mais toujours sucré...), plus fort (46⁰), des notes de cerises, une certaine amertume. Pas vraiment a mon goût

Weirdly artificial. A bit sweeter than I like. Strange aftertaste.

Caramel and strong sherry barrel aroma; sweet cherry, quite blunt body; short warming tail.

Artificial flavour overpowers everything and anything good that might be in here. It tastes and smells strongly of Dr Pepper. Overpriced but a very nice bottle to look at at least .

Nose 9
Palate 9
Finish 9
Going towards 10!
Urgent :air this rum, few times, it needs third or fourth drinking to reach its complexity! It deepens through time. One of the most underrated rums on Rumratings.

Synthetic bitter taste of mint gum and resin. One of the worst rums I have ever tried.

I was excited when I saw this in a bar in the Philippines. The original Don Papa is ok, too sweet for most occasion but rounded. In sherry casks I expected an upgrade. What a disappointment to taste this unbalanced, harsh spirit! The alcohol note is unpleasantly dominant, not well integrated into the matrix. Sweetness was lower, ok, but too boozy.

I don't know, who created this unholy and profane drink but it was the great mistake! The guy on the label is great illustration of your condition after drinking this beverage.

After the exceptional nose ot the baroko, I started hunting down other don papa products.
With prices through the roof (200-400 euros) I imported this one from France for a relatively cheap 70 euros. However, while the nose is very exciting, it does not manage to follow up taste-wise. Very strong and sharp alcohol taste and not smooth at all. Very disappointed and not worth the 70 euros and especially not worth collector prices.

The taste is artificial, boring and bad, perhaps the worst sherry based rum I've so far tried, 3 tiers below sherry master class such as Angostura No. 1 Olorosso, Papiamento Aruba, Baoruco 21y... Feel already sorry for anone who bought this good looking nothing collectibly or to drink like a couple of friends of mine... :) Don Papa truly is the worst taste "premium" brand nowadays
