Don Papa | Master of Malt

In fact, purists are looking quite closely: a liquor company in the States launched a class action in 2022 that argued Don Papa should be labelled “imitation rum” for its alleged use of additives. On either side of our rickety little refuge, seven metre-high walls of sugarcane protrude from the earth like giant tufts of grass; we, the ants. John Kennedy, President, Diageo Europe and India, commented: “We are excited by the opportunity to bring Don Papa into the Diageo portfolio to complement our existing rums.

Papa Isio’s legend, and the patchwork history and natural beauty of Negros, forms part of the inspiration behind Filipino rum newcomer Don Papa. After initially aging in American oak casks, this terrific rum is moved over to a selection of sherry casks – namely Pedro Ximénez, Fino, Palo Cortado, and Cream sherry casks!

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. This variant is much sweeter than others and transforms into the special “black gold” molasses used in Don Papa. It wasn’t industrialised until 1856, when British vice-consul Nicholas Loney arrived and, seeing its potential, imported machinery from England and Scotland, built sailing boats to export the sugar and offered lucrative deals to Negrense planters, all of which lured prominent sugar families (or, to use their more sinister name, barons) to Negros, many of the descendants of whom are still there today. Don Papa je u nás poměrně oblíbená značka, která si získala řadu příznivců nejen výbornou chutí rumů, ale také bezkonkurenčním designem, kterým zaujme na první pohled.

Bundled in a minibus with a rabble of other sweaty journalists, arms full of Filipino snacks hastily purchased from a roadside 7-Eleven in the hopes of soothing our pounding rum-induced hangovers, we set off into a downpour on one of Negros island’s busiest rural highways. That candy-coated fruit character endures, here folding in some mint, more toasted coconut, and a bit of strawberry into that orange-dominated body. The Hispanic influence can be seen today in everything from the country’s name (after Spanish King Philip II), common surnames like de la Cruz and del Rosario, and the religion (80 per cent Catholic), to the architecture (mostly crumbling, elegant facades and obnoxiously big churches), and the cuisine, which is essentially Southeast Asian tapas (and delicious). This rum has a light and fruity nose with a rich-textured finish of vanilla, honey and candied fruit.

Diageo is a global leader in beverage alcohol with an outstanding collection of brands including Johnnie Walker, Crown Royal and JεB whiskies, Smirnoff, Cîroc and Ketel One vodkas, Captain Morgan, Baileys, Don Julio, Tanqueray and Guinness. Mouth: Smooth and fruity with delicately interwoven flavours of honey, candied fruits, and deliciously sweet citrus. We visit one such project on Danjugan island, a 43-hectare oasis off the southern coast of Negros, home to straight-out-of-a-brochure white sandy beaches, lagoons, bat caves, mangrove forests and coral reefs. The finish eventually sees a bit of astringency (that classic petrol note so common with rum) that the sugar can’t quite cover up, though frankly, given the overwhelming rush of sweetness that comes before, this rustic character is almost a relief. Many hidden throughout the label are endemic to the southern Philippine islands, such as world’s smallest primate - the tarsier (yes, it’s completely adorable).

When we arrive at the distillery not far away, hangovers (and faith in road safety) dissipating, a lorry is emptying its bowels, full of freshly macheted sugarcane from the fields, into a pit ready to head into the factory. It could be compared to the Arcane Extraroma from Mauritius for its very fruitful taste and it probably shares with the Arcane the addition of cane syrup, even probably flavored cane syrup (artificially flavored or naturally, this is what remains to be determined in my opinion). Přestože byla značka založena teprve v roce 2011, a nemůže se tak pochlubit kdovíjak dlouhou historií, v její nabídce najdeme celou řadu výborných rumů a limitovaných edicí, které jednoznačně stojí za ochutnání.There, he met a group of babaylanes (Filipino shaman) who were leading a revolt against the Spanish. If you cast your eye to the label, you can clearly see a gentleman, (Don Papa himself, presumably), who is sporting a rather charming gecko monocle, one of 50 animals dotted around.
