Don Papa Sherry Cask 2012

This is a rum which was finished in 5 different casks. First finish is done in American oak bourbon casks and then 18 months in 4 different sherry casks; Fino, Pedro Ximinez, Cream and Palo Cortado. A very nice long velvety finish.

So, the third Don Papa and then it's enough! Clear, clearly sherry on the nose. Slightly sulfured, artificial grape and cherry. Also something spicy smoky woody, direction cherry wood I like to hear. Then clearly caramel and burnt sugar. On the palate, the sherry comes first, with something toasty and woody. But it can't hide the origin (artificial orange-vanilla sugar water). A bit more towards cherry, but thin and too sweet at the back. Don Papa is and remains for me the lowest level. Bad spirit but with super marketing.

8,5:The nose is balanced, round, with molasses, strongly roasted nuts with smokiness, camphor and red fruits, ripe banana. Tangerine brings its bitterness and acidity, making for a rather lively finish. Over time, camphor and wax take on an increasingly medicinal quality. With time, the varnished wood and minty notes come to the fore. It is soft and warm, exhaling aromas of vanilla tobacco and nuts. 8,3:The palate is dry and astringent, as the sherry cask would suggest. Once again, camphor takes a large slice of the aroma cake. The profile is medicinal, resinous, bit spicy and a little roasted. The blend is quite concentrated, with intense vanilla, ripe exotic fruit and resin, followed by a hint of cereal. 8,3:The finish is quite long and juicy, with exotic fruit and cherry pie, confectionery like.I like this rum, no joke!🙂

Wer Whisky mag wird ihn mögem

Fruity and spicy on the nose with notes of cherry, fig, plum and raisin. A small hint of tobacco and clove. Some acidity in the direction of green apple and tangy Riesling. All in all, mild and full-bodied. In the mouth, unmistakable sherry, cherry, raisin, fig and spicy oak. Also a fine acidity of white wine. Dry. The finish is rather short to medium with a hint of cocoa and some lemon zest. Great rum and not too oversweetened for my taste.

Överdriven Sherrysmak. Köp en riktig Sherry istället.

Geschmacks Explosion im Mund. Lecker allerdings preis Leistung nicht gut

It is shame this don papa product. Sherry in noose is nice but tast absolutely artificial and full of alcohol

Surprisingly fruity and spicy nose. On the palate, the ingenious sherry influence comes into its own. A relatively woody bouquet with an interesting spiciness (cinnamon, clove) and intensity. Dry and fruity at the same time. The finish is longer than average and leathery/spicy. The special thing about the unsweetened bottlings from Don Papa is their unmistakable aroma, which cannot be compared with rums from other countries. Around 90 euros is quite acceptable for this rum and the taste experience is worth it anyway.

Pleasant tasting in a Mamacita mexican restaurant in Athens centre right after arrival. Just a small shot for 9 euros as a starter. I expected a very cherry sweet blend, a little surprise and not bad after all.

Another relatively fruity rum. You can taste 100% that it has a sherry cask finish. This rum has a good note. I found it quite appealing, would definitely recommend it :)

Definitiv nicht was ich von einem Don Papa erwartet habe, nicht mit der künstlichen standardabfüllung zu vergleichen. recht holzig und viel rote Früchte vom Sherry finish. auch relativ herbal und erdig

Grosses notes de sherry, cerise, mûre. Profil gourmand et fruité. Encore une fois 0 gramme de sucre ajouté.

A pleasant rum that unmistakably recalls the flavors of kirsch.

Pas aussi sucré que ses compères, agréable à l'apéritif. Le sherry est très présent ce qui peut aider.
