Bold, sweet, and intriguingly approachable rum experience.

Don Papa Baroko is refreshingly sweet with bold vanilla and orange nuances. Our RumX community finds it ideal for beginners and inventive cocktails. While its syrupy sweetness intrigues many, those preferring a more complex profile might notice its synthetic edge.

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

    "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…🫣🫣"

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

    "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."
