Aroma visualization from community tastings
Don Papa Alon
Opinions here run hot and cold. This is a coconut-forward, sweet flavored spirit drink — think toasted coconut, pineapple and caramel with a chili edge. Some taste piña colada in a glass and a Malaga-ice sweetness they enjoy; plenty of others call the coconut artificial and overpowering, and one tasted compost and burn. It reads more infused liqueur than traditional rum.
The community says- Strong coconut

How does Don Papa Alon taste?
Aggregated from 44 community reviews.
Very sweet coconut, more flavored spirit than rum A love-it-or-hate-it coconut sweet drink. Fans find it sippable and dessert-like; critics call the coconut fake and everything-else buried, with a surprisingly sharp finish for something this sweet.

Wer Malaga Eis mag ist hier richtig. Rosinen, Vanilleeis, lecker

After almost 3 years of waiting, I was very excited about the new Don Papa. Unfortunately, it falls short of my expectations. A very dominant coconut aroma on the nose. On the palate, too, every other aroma is overshadowed by the coconut note. With a little imagination, caramel and toffee could be hinted at. The finish is relatively sharp for this sugar bomb. One of Don Papa's worse ones.

Schöne intensiven Süße mit Noten von Kokosnuss und Maracuja.
Review by Ingo Jung
Guter Spirit Drink mit Raffaelo, Mango und Papaja. Schmeckt Gott sei Dank nicht ganz so künstlich wie manch anderer Spirit Drink. Das ist bisher der einzige Don Papa, den ich gut pir trinken kann
Review by Marko Köpke
Man kann sicher süßer streiten, wir finden ihn süffig. Ein Rum den man in Gemütlichen runden gut trinken kann. Nichts für Ansprüche die zu hoch sind

Riecht richtig lecker
Review by Rumbaer
Verkostet auf der The Village Messe 2026. Nicht freiwillig Verkostet möchte ich anmerken ;-) Sorry DonPapa aber das war nix. Es riecht primär nach Alkohol und Komposthaufen. Im Hintergrund irgendwo etwas Kokosnuss. Im Mund auch erdig, beißend. Uaahhh! Was wae das und wer hat das so freigegeben? Ich wüsste niemand, dem das schmecken würde.

Sehr künstliche Aromen nach Vanille, Zimt, Backaromen.
Review by Jan Havelka
Ve vůni je nadějný a zajímavý s náznakem jamajských esterů, na chuti je toho až moc... Spousta různých chutí až v nich vlastní rum zaniká
Review by Benjamin Pavlovic
Kokosnoten und Jackfruchtnoten und die Spirituose ist sehr süß für die leute die süße spirituosen mögen können den gerner kaufen

Pur sehr grenzwertig. Künstlich. Geht so in einigen Tiki-Cocktails. Den Preis aber nicht wert.
