    How does this rum taste?

    • Natural, unsweetened profile
    • Unique whiskey influence
    • Rich vanilla and bourbon notes

    Don Papa Rye Cask Rum is a unique offering from the Bleeding Heart Rum Company in the Philippines. Crafted from molasses and distilled using a column still, this limited release of 899 bottles features a robust 45% ABV. The rum's nose presents an inviting mix of vanilla, tropical fruit, and honey, while the palate delivers bourbon, caramel, and whiskey notes underlined by spicy and orange nuances. Users appreciate its natural profile without added sugar and the clear influence of rye cask aging. However, some find it overly whiskey-like and imbalanced. The rum appeals to those seeking distinctive spirits with a strong whiskey influence, though it may defy traditional rum expectations. Ideal for cocktails like Old Fashioneds, Don Papa Rye Cask offers a distinct sipping experience.

    "I was surprised by the nose. Much more fruit then expected. Coconut and cherry behind vanilla and caramel with a soft woodiness throughout. On the palate it's definitely rye. That bourbon with more spice taste. But there's a caramel that keeps us in rum territory. A little smoky towards the end. The finish has an okay length. The rye mellows a little but the smoke and caramel hangs around longer. Honestly surprised. I was expecting to hate but this is okay."

    "7:The nose has nice smoky notes, with a strong whisky edge, juicy apricots . One can easily imagine a fire where a handful of cereals are being toasted, while one takes a whiff of the heather-laden air. On aeration, a little farmyard character develops, with straw and a slight organic touch. Then the rum enters a more familiar framework, made of spicy wood, a layer of black and red fruits with a little tannin, and a little resinous and vegetal vivacity, some glue. 8:The mouth is quite powerful, despite a relatively round texture. The most farmy notes are the first to touch the taste buds, then it's around the woody and toasted cereals. Some caramel note. Yep, some pancetta. The whisky aspect remains in mind, notably thanks to the white woody notes mixed with resin, cherry, and pears even dried figs. 7,5:The finish returns to slightly oily and smoky notes, even bit oaky.A little sour aftertaste, but positively. Totally different than Don Papa Masskara, Don Papa Small Batch!Well, also as whisky lover, I like it."
