Review by heckto🥃
Not really for fans of unsweetened rum, because this one has been heavily sweetened. Honey, caramel, chili - interesting combination. Still, the artificial aftertaste dominates and due to the huge amount of added sugar, it should be classified as a liqueur.
Review by Gregor
No rum at all. Much too short-breathed Lots of orange and citrus aroma (reminiscent of candied lemon peel in Christmas baking) which comes across as absolutely artificial. too far away from a natural rum. Unnatural, intense sweetness.
Review by GRUNERT Fabrice

Review by BTHHo 🥃
flavor notes of vanilla, tropical fruit, citrus, chili and brown sugar
Review by handyrambo
Don Papa liebt oder hasst man ja, ich mag DP und mein Favorit ist der alte DP 7y. Der 10y gefällt mir auch , weniger süß, mehr würzig und das alles in schönem Schwarz. Der Baroko hat mich enttäuscht, schmeckte nur süß und mild, habe kaum was mehr geschmeckt. Jetzt mit Spannung den Masskara probiert und positiv überrascht. Fruchtig und süß, das gefällt mir. Ich schmecke Orange und Vanille, aber da ist auch etwas Scharfes bzw Würziges. Ich muss nun mal den alten DP 7y (Small Batch) und den neuen DP 7y (Single Island) gegentrinken, dann weiß ich ob ich einen neuen Favoriten habe mit dem Masskara :-) Mit ca 50 Euro ist er aktuell zu bekommen, also noch einigermaßen erschwinglich. Habe auch den Sherry Cask und Port Cask aber die gönnt man sich wohl nur einmal im Leben 😊
Review by Jan Králík
Tento rum je opravdu hodně sladký a vůně opravdu hoodně výrazná, až dost umělá. Hodně citrusy. V chuti hlavně citrusy s med, velká sladkost a to chilli pálení nakonci bylo docela příjemné. Za mě o trošku lepší než verze Baroko, ale přehnaně sladké.
Review by frseec
Guter künstlicher Rum. Er riecht äußerst süß und nach geriebenen Orangenschalen. Das was man riecht, schmeckt man auch. Die Schärfe ist angenehm und nicht zu stark. Im Abgang bleibt eine Chiliartige Schärfe und Zitrusnoten.
Review by Lennart Hofeditz
Taste like stone pine or sauna. Not really like rum but still interesting
Review by Andreas Mikat
Einer meiner Lieblings Rums
Review by Miňo
Celkom ma tento rum prekvapil. Doslova som čakal 'sračku' a on sa dá celkom piť. Je sladký, cítim aj nejaké kvety...ale celkom ok.
Review by Rududux
Love it or hate it. Personally, I loved this rum, which is both easy to drink and surprising for a novice connoisseur. Round, sweet sugar, notes of caramel and honey. Just the way I like it.
