Don Papa Small Batch Rum is produced by the Bleeding Heart Rum Company on the southern island of Negros in the Philippines. The rum is distilled from molasses, then aged for over 7 years in American oak barrels, and lastly charcoal filtered.
The name Don Papa rum was inspired by Papa Isio, a leader of the Philippine revolution against the Spanish who led his island to independence before joining the main revolutionary movement.

Was surprised to read some of the other reviews. Maybe I’m not that much of a rum snob. It’s smooth enough to sip without mix. It’s sweet and has a nice flavour. It’s distilled from molasses so it will be sweeter and a bit more syrupy than other rums. Not available, or hard to find in Canada. I’ll keep drinking it when it’s available.
Un rhum qui dénote par sa construction aromatique aux premiers abords très vanillé, par la suite un arrière goût de bonbon. Facile à boire, il manque cruellement de profondeur pour un rhum âgé.
Not too harsh with a hint of vanilla, great to just sip.
Tento rum je snadné popsat, je tak výrazně vanilkový, sladký, bombónový končící máslem. Běžně rumy takto nedokážu popsat, ale tady to požná každý i poprvé. Kvůli rumu Don Papa jsem se o ně začal zajímat a zatím jsem vanilkovější nepotkal. Nyní po vyzkoušení více druhů jsem zaparkoval spíše u kůže a dřeva s Presidente, Diplomatico a Appleton. Kdo má rád vanilku s Don Papou si pošmákne.
Det var ikke mig....
Ingen go rom duft.....
Skæv smag...
Dejlig duft som holder. Overrasker i smagen der holder især hvis man lader den passere alle smagsløg o munden inden den synkes hvilket forlænger oplevelsen.
Not my kind of taste
Weird taste
Very surepy taste
Not unpleasant, but quite sweet with overpowering vanilla notes. Tastes far worse, but wouldn't rush out to buy another bottle.
Fin rom, men den er for sød og har for meget smag af vanilie til min smag

I see many of the negative reviews that this is not a rum. With that being said, I have traveled to Cuba yearly since 1994. My favorite rums are Santiago 11years and Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros both which pair nicely with cigars. I also have an affinity to Vodka and Single Malt Scotch for Islay. Last winter I went diving to the Philippines and discovered Don Papa and fell in love with it; can it be argued it is not a true rum, possibly. It sets on the shelf with my other favorites and what I reach for depends on what I am in the mood for. Would I drink the Don Papa while I smoke a Cohiba or Trinidad, absolutely not. I add it to the numerous fun things in life I enjoy without putting a label on it and savor it for what it is and the things it does to my palette.
