Don Papa Baroko

My first Don Papa - and hopefully my last. Then you might as well drink Red Bull with Primasprit.Terrible something, hands off.

Fruity smell as always. Fruity and spicier than normal Don Papa Finish somewhat short

Very unspectacular spirit. I think it‘s no rum either. It has some various notes. But the alcohol and taste of fruits is smell synthetic and fake for me. Btw. i don‘t like the don papa series…🫣🫣

Super rum. Warme vanille tonen en caramel

Terribly sweet and artificial on the nose and then terribly alcoholic spicy and unclean dry ... Does not go at all.

Definitely not rum, but rum based liquer

Oh my god.... I don't have the words. This is the kind of juice that makes Smecta look like a 1978 Skeldon. The nose is infamous, it oozes artificial, industrial flavors. It's a kind of orange-flavored glucose concentrate with hints of caramel that make you nauseous (and I'm not even kidding when I say that). The palate confirms that this is the equivalent of a satanic suppository: a liquorous, foul, synthetic drink. You feel like you're drinking a drug. It's disgusting, and I'm not even sure it's a good rum for making pancakes. It's the kind of rum that makes me think it needs to be rated even lower than "undrinkable". The finish is unpleasant and artificial, lingering on the palate to my dismay. This "stuff" is a disgrace, a filth and probably one of the worst inventions of Humanity. Drink this doctored, mutagenic juice and you'll get diabetes and cancer. By far the worst rum I've ever tasted, it deserves to be burnt at the stake.

6,9:The nose is very sweet, orange and vanilla. Like an oriental confection, the rum caresses the nostrils with a pinch of powdered sugar. One might think of a strawberry- or rosewater-flavored Turkish delight. The candied orange peel still contains some of its slightly bitter oil, which adds a little more depth. Aeration confirms and reinforces the sensation of roundness. The candy sugar is melted and takes on the air of barley sugar. It's also reminiscent of the first bite of strawberry gum. 7:The palate is soft, fluid and quite sweet. The confectionery and bubblegum ambience remains, though one might have expected a stickier texture. The vanilla glides slowly over the tongue, the orange is in tune and forgets any hint of bitterness. On the other hand, a slight spicy, peppery note lifts the whole. 6,2:The finish is very sweet, with strawberry, banana and orange in confectionery form...

Rarely had anything artificial in a glass. Now only used for coffee and ristretto to save sugar. In summary, I no longer like the taste of this sugary stuff at all. Mercilessly over-sugared and the taste is just artificial for me.

A real sugar bomb can best describe this one. On the other hand, it might be interesting for newcomers and ladies. A lot of artificial citruses in nose and tones of sugar on palate. However, I have to admit I like the art on their tubas which made iconic and got Philippines to the rum map.

After tasting it again, I have to correct my rating significantly downwards. The first aroma impression is still quite pleasant until the artificial aromas are noticeable. This becomes even more intense on the palate and the artificial sweetness displaces any enjoyment. But good as a mixed drink.

This rum is a good beginners rum because it's light and sweet at the sweet at the same time. You can also use it for deserts or baking in my mind. The nose is sweet and fruity with spice and caramel as well as a light flowery note. The palate is also sweet and fruity with an oily feel to it and very light bitterness in the back. Caramel and vanilla are trailing behind. There is a light bitterness in the back, but barely noticeable. The finish is medium long, sweet and fruity with vanilla.

That was my seventh Don Papa and now I've had enough. Basically, I am of the opinion that you have to make yourself a picture to be able to judge. For me, of the tasted spirits with rum ambitions, the Rye Cask was still the most drinkable bottling. The Baroko in front of me just smells and tastes like artificial orange flavoring, as used in baking, and Wrigley's Juicy Fruit chewing gum. Followers of this brand and effect drinkers may find their undemanding heaven here, but for me it is definitely nothing.

Sweet as shit. Artificial.

Just this much, anyone who likes drinking Don Papa has never loved rum. Nothing about it has anything to do with the rum product. I've never had anything more artificial in my glass. The only reason I'm giving it points is because the label is very nice.
