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.


same as everyone else. if you like something that taste amazing.. enjoy. if you want to be a rum expert......
Look, the taste of most foods and drinks is entirely personal - no two people will even describe ketchup in the same way so what chance has this got? For me it works really well; I tend to like the sweeter spirits these days and this with its big vanilla hit works well over ice. So, all you rum experts get over yourselves.
These are exactly the flavours I have been looking for, I fell for it at the first sniff. I personally like sweeter spirits, and this genuinely hits the spot. Tons of vanilla, and fat dried fruits makes it a tasty mouthful. I genuinely intend to always have a bottle in the house!
Terrible chemical flavoured concoction. Bought by my grandchildren back in the summer as a Christmas present for their rum loving Papa. They thought it was something special. It was very well chosen and would have remained an absolute delight if only it had been left unopened.
Love it or hate it, don't let the rum snobbery fool you, Don Papa is a nice drink over ice :) Just goes to show all things are subjective but it is definitely not deserving of a one star rating
