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.
This isn't your typical rum flavour, so if you want that then don't buy this. What i will say is if you like a smooth rum then this is lovely. On it's own it's rich and velvety with a vanilla scent and taste. I tried it with some ice and coke and oh wow if you like rum and raisin ice cream then you'll love this and not want it to end.
What the hell? Bought from Sainsbury's expecting to be a medium level aged rum decent enough for sipping. So far from that rhetoric it is unbelievable. The rest of the bottle is going in the punch bowl on Friday night.
I bought this today having not seen this brand before and having a keen interest in Rum couldn't resist the idea of a Phillipines brand. Tried it this evening, I thought I'd opened a bottle of Southern Comfort! Weird. Sweet marmalade cough medicine. It's not Rum.
Bought this on offer here in the UK. Still vastly overpriced for what it is - spiced rum drink. Overpowering cream soda smell/taste, no depth or complexity on offer, far too sweet. Fatrumpirate review tests confirms that there are lots of additives in this - vanillin being one.
I don’t believe that this is real rum. It tastes a bit artificial and way to much vanilla. It is a nice mixer. But it’s over priced.
