A richly flavoursome rum from the Philippines, inspired by the story of Papa Isio, who played a big part in the late-19th century Philippine revolution. The rum itself is made using sugar cane grown on the island of Negros in the Philippines and matured in oak barrels before its blended and bottled.
Fruity notes up front, with sweet tangerines and apricots. This is followed by vanilla ice-cream, drizzled with runny toffee sauce.
Bags-full of vanilla and cinnamon. Hints of raisin, sultana and marmalade.
Medium length with punchy cinnamon.
Rather exciting stuff.
Not your typical rum and not your typical spiced rum either I wouldn't class my self as a aficionado of rum but I like it I suualy drink mount gay, Havana club, diplomatico, zacapaya, gosling and Appleton but this makes a nice change. I am hit or miss with flavoured or spiced rum but this with some coke and lime tastes like cream soda. Not something I would have neat or even in a Cuba libre or dark and stormy but as something diffrent why not. Each to their own but no way this is a one star rum. Go in with a open mind and the world is full of wonders
It’s different but I love it. Heaps of vanilla and sweetness and when paired with some salty charcuterie, ideally jamon iberico, it’s superb. The flavours are there but don’t feel artificial There’s no right and wrong just like with whiskey. You can’t compare an Islay with a speyside, s if you like the sweeter, Sherry finished malts then try this out on your rum shelf.
It is disgusting
This rum is more a rum liqueur than a proper rum. Horribly over sweetened and syrupy, give this a miss if you like a proper rum.
Never been so disappointed.
