Venture down twisting paths into unknown lands surrounded by a host of sounds;

the call of exotic birds, the rustle of majestic beasts and the clink of ice in your glass… 

This is the world that awaits you after opening a bottle of Don Papa Small Batch Rum.

This richly styled rum from the Philippine Island of Negros was inspired by the story of Papa Isio a leader in the late-19th century revolution against the Spanish.  It is crafted from luxurious, sweet molasses made from the sugar cane grown on the surrounding islands.  With the regions hot humid climate, it undergoes rapid maturation in American ex-Bourbon barrels which are seasoned to a light char for a naturally darker spirit.  After 7 years aging it is blended to create a rum with bright aromas, a smooth palate and generous finish.

On nose there is an abundance of orange fruit with sweet tangerines, confected orange peel and apricots coupled with hints of orange blossom.  This is followed up by pronounced flavors of vanilla and cinnamon with dried fruits of raisins and sultanas and notes of orange marmalade.  Everything comes together in a richly textured finish of vanilla, honey and candied fruits.
