Don Papa Rye Cask is a special vintage of the renowned Philippine rum brand, Don Papa. The molasses used to produce this rum come from the island of Negros, home to one of the world's largest sugarcane plantations. The column distillation and aging processes take place at the foot of Mount Kanlaon in the Bago distillery. What sets this rum apart is its four-year aging process in old rye barrels, previously used for Tennessee whisky made from rye. This reference to American whisky is a nod to the significant role the United States played during the Philippines' independence process.
This rum boasts a powerful flavor profile, despite its relatively round texture. Initial notes include farmy elements, followed by woody and toasted cereals. The whisky aspect remains present, with white woody notes mixed with resin and pears. Upon aeration, a slight farmyard character develops, featuring straw and a slight organic touch. The rum then transitions to a more familiar framework, with spicy wood, a layer of black and red fruits with a little tannin, and a touch of resinous and vegetal vivacity.
The Don Papa Rye Cask Rum has a golden to amber color and offers a rich, dry, and velvety texture on the palate. It has a long, delicate finish with hints of spice and rye spices. This rum, fully matured for four years in American whiskey rye casks, is a fruity and spicy Filipino rum that would be delightful served neat but is also an excellent choice for experimental and tasty cocktails.
