How does this rum taste?
Don Papa Port Cask is a Filipino rum from the Bleeding Heart Rum Company, crafted with molasses and aged 7 years in port casks. The aromatic profile features port, dried fruit, and wood notes, while the flavor is dominated by roasted, citrus, and caramel. Users have mixed feelings, appreciating its port cask influence and revelation of unsweetened nuances, yet some take issue with its high price and lack of complexity compared to stronger, cask strength rums. Though divisive, it appeals with hints of tropics and a sweet, woody finish, making it a potential mixer as well as a stand-alone sipper.

This one has benefitted from the port cask and can be sipped and probably a great addition to a mixer.
8,2:On the nose, this rum is seductive from the outset, reminding us of Trinidad with a hint of greasy metal. The stone then predominates, with notes of almond and fruit jelly.Aeration expresses the wine as a gourmand, fruity syrup spiced with toasted wood. Dried apricots, quince paste, tropical fruits dominate shape under the nose with its thickness. 8:The palate is round as expected, actually gourmand. The tannic side of the wood brings some serious and well roasted character. Then tannins melt into tropical fruit syrup with some medicinal note.Drieness is felt. Otherwise fruity notes dominate the palate. 7,8:The finish is soft, caramelized, fruity with vanilla and other sweet spices with soft wood... Taste, then judge😉...
Unsweetened Don Papa. Interesting. Way overpriced ofcourse. Not a bad drink. A tad one dimensional. Loads better than most other Don Papas. I do wish they stepped up and made a true unsweetened cask strength rum (for normal money). This is enjoyable though.
Dass man solch eine Aromatik in 40 % unterbringt, ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Hier hat es bestens geklappt. In der Nase habe ich am Anfang Kirsche, Portwein, Traube, Rosine und etwas Holz. Vanille und Gewürznelke kommt dazu. Am Gaumen ist er durch die 40 % relativ weich und süffig. Pflaume, Holz, Portwein und Sauerkirsche sorgen für ein tolles Wechselspiel. Beeren, Karamell, rote Früchte und Trockenobst werden durch Zitrusnoten, Gewürznelke, Tannine und Rotwein in eine würzige Richtung gelenkt. Der ebenso fruchtige und vielschichtige Abgang ist mittellang und angenehm würzig. Dazu kommt eine tolle, süße Portweinnote welche mit Vanille ausklingt. Sehr angenehm zu trinken, aber 200 Euro sind zu teuer. Geschmacklich dennoch eine Empfehlung.
