Don Papa Rum is the spirit of Sugarlandia. A premium aged rum from the Philippines. Created on the fertile foothills of Mt. Kanlaon, where the finest sugarcane is milled to produce sweet, rich molasses. Don Papa is a tribute to Papa Isio, the real and charismatic leader from the island of Negros, Philippines. His legend was instrumental to the independence of the island during the Revolution of the 1890s. The figure of Don Papa is inspired by Papa Isio, though he is not the same person. Rather, Don Papa is the embodiment of the spirit of Sugarlandia.
Tasting notes

Particularly fruity, the mandarin dominates then leaves room for notes of apricots, banana and red fruits. Vanilla, on the other hand, is discreet but intense.
Palate
Delicate and fruity, the mouth reveals notes of fruit cake and leaves room for a profusion of flavors of citrus.
Finish
Long with fruity and spicy notes.
