Description
Made from 'black gold' molasses rum, it is aged for several years in American oak barrels at the foot of Mount Kanlaon before being blended for a rich, smooth finish.
The resulting blend showcases the original spirit of Don Papa: it bursts with citrus and vanilla on the nose, is full-bodied with notes of candied fruit and honey, and has a long, bold finish with a hint of spicy oak. It is perfect drunk neat, on the rocks or in your favourite cocktail
