Don Papa - Sevillana - Orange Cask Finish - 40%
Don Papa is a brand of rum originating from the Philippines . The name of Don Papa rum refers to a Filipino revolutionary named Dionisio Magbuelas, nicknamed Papa Isio. This foreman of a sugar plantation, also a healer, participated in the revolution against the Spanish colonists. The Don Papa brand belongs to the Bleeding Heart Rum Company, founded in 2012 and the rum is distilled at the Bago Distillery , in operation since 1902. Stephen Carroll , its creator, is a former executive at Diageo, Seagram, then Rémy Cointreau. The rum is produced from sugarcane from the island of Negros Occidental, known as "sugarlandia", in copper column stills. The molasses comes from one of the 11 mills on the island which dates from the 1920s and is entirely self-sufficient in electricity, because its boiler is powered by bagasse from the cane. The plantations are located at the foot of the Kanlaon volcano, land conducive to the development of noble cane. If the classic Don Papa is a rum with added vanilla liqueur, the special editions are drier, unfiltered expressions, which are aimed at more experienced enthusiasts.
Don Papa Sevillana is a limited edition, distilled and aged on the island of Negros, Philippines. The rum is made from sugar cane molasses from the island. It is first aged in American oak barrels having contained Bourbon, then refined in 2 types of Spanish barrels: Oloroso sherry barrels and “vino de naranja” (orange wine) barrels from Andalusia.
