History of Don Papa Rum:
The Philippines are not so well known in our latitudes for rum as for white beaches, coral reefs and palm trees. So it is not surprising that Tanduay rum produced in the Philippines is only known to a few connoisseurs. Tanduay is second only to Bacardi on the list of the most drunk rums in the world.
Fortunately, since 2012, Don Papa Rum has become a rum in the consciousness of aficionados that not only has a unique history, but also comes from the Philippine island of Negros.
The name of the rum goes back to Dionisio Magbuelas, better known as Papa Isio. He worked as a foreman on the island's sugar cane plantations and played a crucial role in the Philippine Revolution at the end of the 19th century, which sought independence from Spain.
The armed resistance of the Katipunan, a freedom-seeking Filipino secret organization, against the Spanish authorities lasted from 1896 to 1898. When the revolution began, the Philippines had already been under Spanish rule for more than three centuries. With the support of the USA, but above all due to the unbroken will to fight and the desire for independence, the Filipino population was finally able to rid itself of the Spanish colonial power and was truly united for the first time in history. Don Papa was a leader of the insurgents and thus made a decisive contribution to the independence movement. Don Papa rum has been produced and distributed worldwide in his honor since 2012.
However, this not only brings the history of the Philippine Revolution to the attention of rum connoisseurs. For every bottle of Don Papa rum sold, one euro is transferred to an aid fund that is used to rebuild the country after the devastating typhoon Hayan, which swept across the archipelago in 2013.
Taste and production of Don Papa rum:
Don Papa rum is produced in the Bago distillery from molasses, a highly viscous by-product of sugar production. A continuously operating distillation column is used for this. The finished distillate is then stored for seven years in former bourbon barrels made of American white oak. It is important to remember that the extremely hot and humid climate causes a significant part of the rum to evaporate and be lost as Angel's Share. Fortunately, the maturation process is also accelerated, which means that the Don Papa rum appears significantly older and more balanced than the storage time would initially suggest.
On the nose, the Don Papa rum therefore presents full, intense notes of vanilla, caramel and honey. The pleasant sweetness is complemented by fresh orange and citrus fruitiness. The wood influence also provides complexity. The aroma leaves no doubt about the quality of the Don Papa rum and already clearly indicates that it is an excellent sipping rum for cozy hours.
From the very first sip, the viscous, dark brown shimmering liquid caresses the tongue and leaves behind a full-bodied, strong and spicy taste impression. At first there are pleasantly sweet hints of vanilla, demerara sugar, maple syrup and candied oranges. These are accompanied by notes of baked apples, dark chocolate, honey, Christmas spices and oak.
The finish is long and strong. The sweet fruitiness fades into the background and is replaced by a drier spiciness that has influences of tobacco and leather.
Overall, Don Papa Rum is a full-bodied, highly complex sipping rum that is sure to delight and impressively proves that Filipino rum has no need to hide from its big brothers from the Caribbean.
