Don Papa Rhum 7YO 200ml

Don Papa is made on Negros, the sugar island of the Philippines, from cane grown in the volcanic soils around Mount Kanlaon. The spirit is produced in small batches and matured for seven years in American oak, and that long rest in a tropical climate is what gives the rum its distinctive character.

The result is packed with vanilla flavours and a hint of spice, with a rich, sweet, rounded profile that has won the brand a following well beyond home. It is a rum for people who like their spirits generous rather than austere.

Drink it neat or over a single large cube, where the sweetness settles and the oak comes forward. It also builds a very good rum and coke, or a Filipino take on an Old Fashioned. This is the 200ml bottle, which makes it an easy gift, a travel companion, or a low-commitment way to try it first.
