Don Papa Rum

A bit too sweet for me 😊

Don Papa is not a good rum, one could even say it is dubious... But it has succeeded in doing what few rums have managed to do: arouse an interest in a world that many of us were unaware of until now and create a new passion. It is this new audience that allows distilleries to survive. In this sense, Don Papa rums are more valuable than the most expensive rums.

Very fragrant orange and vanilla aroma. Fruity and sweet on the nose. For the beginner a good, but from the aroma exceptional rum. Don Papa seems over the tasting slightly artificial and reminiscent of Dr. Oetker rum flavor. One likes him, or not.

Soft vanilla dominant. Long finish

Well, this is just a missing tasting of Don Papa’s the most iconic rum, that popularized rum in Czechia in general. Even in my collection, there are several of them in nice tubas from nostalgy. Anyway, it´s not so sweet as Baroko, it has its place in Nico

On The Rocks: On the nose a very pleasant Vanilla and Butterscotch/Caramel Aroma with a very feint orange peel (almost like an orange pop float). Taste reveals a very nice Vanilla and Caramel Flavour with a mild/moderate orange peel undertone. Finish is medium length with the sweetness fading into a slightly bitter taste with the orange peel continuing to hide in the background. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose a mild Sweet Aroma with a hint of orange and vanilla. Taste reveals a Really good Sweet Vanilla flavour and orange mixture. Finish is short with the vanilla orange fading away. This is an Excellent Mixer.

It's a good starter, but clearly too sweet. To sum up, my tasting notes: On the nose: Vanilla, Banana In the mouth: Caramel, Orange zest, Banana Finish: Caramel, Orange zest

The very belligerent Don Papa 7y has been one of my favorites so far. Now there is the new DP 7y, the Single Island. The old DP 7y was called Small Batch. This is all due to the new sugar regulation, which allows a maximum of 20 grams of sugar for a rum to still be called rum. However, it's the taste that counts and unfortunately I have to say that the new DP 7y doesn't taste as good to me as the old DP 7y. Much less sweet, orangey and vanilla. More spicy and some people will say it now tastes like "real" rum. Nice, but it's no longer one of my favorites :-( Anyone who liked the old DP 7y will now have to switch to Baroko or Masskara. Baroko is rather sweet and vanilla-like, Masskara more fruity. The old DP 7y is probably passé, what a shame :-(

Pur ist er für mich kein Genuss. Zu künstlich und chemisch. Davon abgesehen schmeckt man Karamell, Vanille, tropische Früchte und ein Hauch Orange. Als Mixgetränk mit Cola finde ich ihn allerdings ziemlich gut.

After a long time, once again took a wrong turn. The Don Papa is like an artificial medicine enriched with vanilla, caramel and orange flavors. While the nose is already irritating (high-proof Fanta), then comes the blackout in the mouth. Totally artificially medicinal, like a medicine you had to take as a child, but tasted awful, very sour. The three flavors pull themselves one-dimensionally from front to back. A rum this is not (more).

Simply too sweet and artifici for my taste. Much like a liquior than a rum, but some like it.

I don't tolerate it. I never liked it, even when I got into early rums with Diplomatico, Kraken and Pampero.

very strong vanilla scent. a strong taste of vanilla and oak barrel. fine taste like dried fruit.

yeah, this is bad. I don't understand how anyone can like this, rum-newbie or not. the tastes is just so artificial and strong, you just want to rinse your mouth of it. not enjoyable with coke either, wich almost every other rum is.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
