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 🤔

Peat, original
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.

Fanta in Islay barrel... Terrible...
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.

Dvě složky co by mohli dávat smysl a presto tohle vlastně zde vubec nefunguje. Sice to není tak sladké jak by na papu mohlo být. Ale je to divny

Rauch und Schokolade
Review by Jascha Mittendorfer
Erster Eindruck - definitiv zu holzig aber dann wirds ganz angenehm. Dafür das ich den Geschmack eigentlich gar nicht mag erstaunlich gut
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.
