Don Papa Rum Sevillana Cask Finish
Opinion really splits here — some call it the best Don Papa they've had, others the weakest, and one taster hated it outright. What most agree on: bright orange and orange-peel notes, dried fruit and a wine-cask edge over vanilla. At 40% the alcohol sits a touch rough and a bit out of balance, with a faintly bitter finish. Pairs nicely with dessert.
The community says- Orange and dried fruit
- Wine-cask character
- Keep in mind: Unbalanced alcohol

How does Don Papa Rum Sevillana Cask Finish taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity orange wine-cask Don Papa, polarizing Divisive. Fans love the fruity orange-and-wine profile; others find it thin, slightly hot and unbalanced for the young spirit underneath. Reads drier than the usual Don Papa.

For this drain cleaner, even the one point is too much and the work to enter here Tastingnozes would only cost lifetime.This was tonight the low point of all spirits ever drunk by me.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
21.12.2025 Having a friend over who is not up to the heavier stuff, so we run through a few lighter rums. ---------- Another sweet release but with a bit more bite than the other releases. Fruity but the ABV could have been integrated better. Another one that I'd use as a mixer. Out of balance in my mind.
Review by Felix Reiber
Tasting of the first or original bottling of the D.P. Sevillana cask (1st batch). Wonderfully fruity nose with beautiful orange notes, dried fruit and a good influence from the wine cask. The palate delivers what the nose promises. The Spanish Seville is well pronounced and starts with a slightly dry woodiness, which then leads into great wine notes. Almost simultaneously, an ingenious, honey-like sweetness resonates and merges into wine and orange peel. Then, towards the end, spicy, woody tones and some tobacco and leather, which is due to the influence of the cask. The medium-long finish is again characterized by dried fruit, wood, tobacco and wine, closely followed by spicy barrel notes. It's a real shame that this bottle (sealed) has become so expensive. In addition, the second bottling cannot even begin to keep up with the old bottling.

I had it with a Creme Brûlée and I enjoyed it. The best DP I had by far.
Review by TheJackDrop
0 grams of sugar, that's cool! We're on notes of nuts and orange. Quite surprised to see Don Papa starting to make "real" rums.
Review by Dirk E.
Don Papa that doesn't convince me, the others from Don Papa are far better
Review by Rhum_Raider54
One of the best Dom Papa I’ve tasted
Review by Daniel
Fine nuances of the two sherry and orange wine finishes to smell. On the palate then a relatively sharp attack before the fruit aromas develop. You can notice the short aging time of the individual components here. Slightly bitter in the finish. The limited special edition as a collector’s item is the only reason I would buy the bottle again. Too expensive for what’s in the glass.
Review by Barney487
Vor allem für den Preis bei 80€+ eine Enttäuschung. Bei Don Papa darf man ja eh nicht Zuviel erwarten wenn man über den süßrum hinaus ist aber hier passt es dann gar nicht mehr bei der Preis Leistung. Wenig Geschmack süß fruchtig bitter nicht schön
