Don Papa Rhum 7 years 40°

The Don Papa 7-Year-Old Rum originates from the island of Negros, nestled at the foot of Mt Kanlaon volcano in the Philippine archipelago. Although sugarcane cultivation in this region is only 150 years old, the Philippines has become one of the world's leading producers of this precious resource, thanks to its exceptionally fertile terroir. The molasses, locally nicknamed "Black Gold," comes from sugarcane of unparalleled quality and forms the very essence of Don Papa. After meticulous fermentation and distillation, it rests for 7 years in former American oak barrels that once held Bourbon and Rioja, imparting the rum with its characteristic nuances.

The traditional method of crafting Don Papa 7-Year-Old Rum, combined with the rigorous selection by the Master Blender, gives rise to a rum of exceptional roundness, with sweet and sugary notes. This almost syrupy sweetness makes it an excellent choice for beginners while offering appreciable complexity for seasoned enthusiasts.
