Don Papa Baroko Rum – A Taste of the Philippines
Experience the rich heritage of the Philippines with Don Papa Baroko Rum, a premium aged rum that embodies the essence of Negros Island, affectionately known as Sugarlandia for its lush sugar cane fields. Crafted with care and expertise, Don Papa Baroko represents the pinnacle of artisanal rum-making, offering a delightful journey of flavours and aromas.
Taste Profile
Don Papa Baroko presents a complex flavour profile that reflects the fertile volcanic soil and tropical climate of Negros. Aged for a minimum of seven years in American oak barrels, it develops a rich character with notes of dried fruits, honey, and subtle spices. The first sip reveals a smooth, creamy texture, with flavours of ripe bananas, caramelised sugar, and vanilla that melt effortlessly on the palate. As you savour it, undertones of oak and nutmeg emerge, adding depth to the experience. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering sweetness that invites you to take another sip.
Aroma
The aroma of Don Papa Baroko is as captivating as its taste. When poured, it releases a fragrant bouquet of tropical fruits, sweet vanilla, and soft caramel notes. Hints of toasted coconut and oak complete this enticing olfactory experience.
Craftsmanship
The creation of Don Papa Baroko Rum is rooted in traditional Filipino craftsmanship. The finest sugar cane is harvested from the lush fields of Negros, where the distillation process begins. The cane is pressed to extract the sweet juice, which is then fermented and distilled, capturing the island’s essence in every drop.
Aged in American oak barrels that previously held bourbon, the rum absorbs rich flavours that impart a distinctive character. This aging process is crucial, contributing to the rum’s colour, complexity, and overall profile.
