Philippines
The Don Papa distillery, based in the Phillipines have created this cheerful spirit distilled from molasses, milled locally on the island of Negros. It is aged in American oak and infused with local sugar so should make a wonderful sipper for those with a sweet tooth, or anyone looking to sweeten up some classic rum cocktails!
Intensely sweet mouth coating vanilla wafts over charred oak, candied fruit and banana fritters smothered in rich, brown sugar.

I drink usually £50-200 cognacs and whiskeys, trust me it is amazing rum, the taste as most rums sweet, but no alcohol hit with comparison to good cognacs, the flavours you will feel you can describe and find more and more. Much better than original small batch. Perfect for a gift and for own use.
A fine rum. I find it quite sweet. Notes of vanilla and orange. fine to drink now, but I wouldn't buy it again.
As the other reviewers have said this is a gem of a rum, very enjoyable to sip neat and unlike the expensive Cuban rums I've tried isn't filled with an aftertaste of tobacco and furniture polish! I haven't tried it with a mixer because it's so enjoyable on it's own.
Very nice smooth fruity flavour very palatable as a neat rum top notch
Don Papa Baroko possesses a sweet and fruity aroma, which in my book is a good trait to have for any rum. Drank neat, there isn’t one stand out, unique flavour that defines this rum. What you get instead, is a drink that is smooth and sugary (definitely too sweet for the rum purists, which I am not) with the fantastic bonus of NOT having a whiskey/smoky/woody and or tobacco aftertaste. Drank as a long drink with Coca-Cola as the mixer, Baroko becomes even more silkier and even more of a saccharine laden delight. So, for all you rum enthusiasts who have a sweet tooth and who aren’t too keen on rums that taste like whiskey, or even worse, taste as if they’ve had a Cuban Cigar crumbled into it, then I definitely suggest you buy a bottle of Don Papa Baroko. The only problem you’ll have with this, isn’t the price, but the fact that it’s so dam moreish it’s not going to last you very long in your drinks cabinet!
