Smoke and peat in a Filipino molasses rum — that's the surprise here, and it's exactly what splits people. Some catch roasted oak, vanilla, chocolate and raisin with a smoky, orange-tinged finish and enjoy it; others taste cough syrup and call the peat barely there. One tester summed the mood up simply: "Rum talks no4." A sweet rum that leans whisky more than tropical.

The look inside the bottle
How does Don Papa Gayuma taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Sweet, smoky rum that drinks like whisky Genuinely divisive. Fans get chocolate, smoke and roasted wood; critics find it sweet, syrupy and unconvincing as a rum. The Islay-cask smoke either works for you or doesn't.

Fanta in Islay barrel... Terrible...
Review by heckto🥃
You can tell it has spent time in bourbon barrels. Toasted wood, vanilla and fruit dominate - chocolate and menthol in the background. One of the stronger Don Papas with a peaty finish.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#6444 Not too bad and this is a smoky rum. Light on the fruit and spices but still OK. A sweet rum that I think will do well as a dessert rum. Wonder how this one would do in a rum'n'coke 🤔
Review by Timo Groeger
To be honest, I don't think this Don Papa is that bad. It really tastes very fruity, but delicious, the woody and smoky flavor goes a bit too far, but still really okay this rum.
Review by TheJackDrop
Quite surprised by this profile, there are clearly some interesting things, it's a shame they added 18gr of sugar, and that the finish is so short. But otherwise nice notes of peat, leather, a touch of menthol.
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Here's the definition of undrinkable for me. Cough syrup, and non-existent peat. Maybe a flaw on the bottle. I dream of having someone blind taste this for me one day.

Rum talks no4.
Review by Aschi Nottu 🇨🇭
Der Gayuma von Don Papa ist ein rauchiger, süsser Rum, mit einem komplexen Aroma. Die Aromen würde ich mit Kräuter, Schockolade, Vanille und natürlich Rauch umschreiben. Ich habe ihn pur mit Raumtemperatur degustiert. Auch mit Cola ind Eis, kommt das rauchige Aroma sehr schön zum Tragen. Ich liebe es.

Review by Fabrice Grunfelder
Woody grilled dominance of chocolate and raisin.
Review by Barney487
For me personally, it tastes too much like whisky. It was aged in an Islay cask, and I think you can definitely taste that. Overall, it’s not very smooth for me; there is some sweetness but you can’t really pinpoint it very precisely.
Review by Filip Heimerle
Two components that could make sense and yet this actually doesn't work here at all. Although it's not as sweet as it could be on the palate. But it's weird.
Review by Jascha Mittendorfer
First impression - definitely too woody but then it becomes quite pleasant. Considering I actually don't like the taste, surprisingly good.
Review by Jan Schulze
Goes very much in the whisky direction, you can drink it but as a rum fan you don't have to.
