Don Papa - Sevillana - Orange Cask Finish - 40%
Don Papa is an iconic rum brand from the Philippines, globally recognized for the exceptional quality of its products. The name of the rum Don Papa pays tribute to Dionisio Magbuelas, nicknamed Papa Isio, a famous Filipino revolutionary who actively fought against Spanish colonial rule. A former overseer of a sugarcane plantation and a respected healer, he embodies the courageous and independent spirit that inspires every bottle of Don Papa. This prestigious brand belongs to the Bleeding Heart Rum Company, founded in 2012, with production carried out at the Bago Distillery, an institution active since 1902 on the island of Negros Occidental.
The creation of this unique rum is credited to Stephen Carroll, an industry expert who has worked for giants such as Diageo, Seagram, and Rémy Cointreau. Don Papa is made from sugarcane grown on the island of Negros Occidental, nicknamed "Sugarlandia", thanks to an exceptional microclimate and fertile volcanic soil at the foot of the mythical Kanlaon volcano. Distillation is done in copper column stills, ensuring finesse and aromatic complexity. The molasses comes from one of the island's 11 historic mills, dating back to the 1920s and fully self-sufficient thanks to an ecological management system based on bagasse, which powers the boiler.
The classic Don Papa is a smooth rum enriched with a delicate vanilla liqueur, appreciated worldwide. However, for discerning enthusiasts, the brand offers special editions with drier and more intense profiles, unfiltered, revealing the full richness and diversity of this exceptional Filipino terroir.
Don Papa Sevillana is a remarkable limited edition, distilled and aged exclusively on the island of Negros. This exceptional rum is made from 100% local sugarcane molasses. Its maturation first takes place in American oak barrels that previously held Bourbon, offering delicate vanilla and woody notes. It is then carefully finished in two types of prestigious Spanish casks: Oloroso sherry casks, rich in fruity and woody flavors, as well as « vino de naranja » (orange wine) casks from Andalusia, which bring a smooth and original citrus touch. This unique double aging gives Don Papa Sevillana a rare aromatic complexity and elegance, appealing to both connoisseurs and fine rum lovers.
