Sherry leads with cherry, raisin and woody spice. Drier and less sweet than typical Don Papa, with occasional tobacco or clove. Good for sherry-cask and whisky lovers.

    RumX members love this rum’s sherry-rich character: a nose of cherry, raisin and red fruits, followed by dry cherry and sherry with woody spice. Several reviewers note it’s less sweet than the usual Don Papa, sometimes with hints of tobacco and clove. Often enjoyed as an aperitif. Popular on RumX with 112 reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a solid pick for sherry-cask and whisky fans.

    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.

    Geschmacks Explosion im Mund. Lecker allerdings preis Leistung nicht gut

    Les Philippines offrent un climat tout à fait propice à la culture de la canne à sucre. Une marque en particulier a popularisé le rhum des Philippines auprès des amateurs de rhum du monde entier : Don Papa. En voici un nouvel ambassadeur : le rhum Don Papa Sherry Cask ! Elaboré à partir de mélasse issue de cannes cultivées sur l’île de Négros, il est le fruit d’une expérimentation audacieuse de la marque. Cette cuvée a en effet bénéficié d’un traitement très particulier : après plusieurs années passées en fûts de chêne américain ayant contenu du Bourbon, le rhum a été placé dans des fûts ayant contenu quatre types différents de Xérès : Fino, Palo Cortado, Pedro Ximenez et Cream, pour une finition d'une durée de 18 mois. C'est de cet échange qu'il tire ses délicats arômes fruités dans lesquels on devine, au nez, le raisin, mûr et intense, et en bouche la prune et la figue. Un rhum traditionnel original qui saura vous surprendre et vous charmer, sans nul doute…

    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.
