Review by ALAG
A powerful, spicy, woody molasses rum with good length.
Review by Dirk E.
a don that is not a sweet bomb / fruit bomb for once
Review by Daniel
Mild for the 50.5% on the nose and also in the taste. By one or the other nuance in the taste holds until the end the question of whether not yet worked with additives in small quantities. Nevertheless, the only one in the range that I would call rum. Due to the currently called price, I can only understand the purchase if you need it as a collector's item to complete the series. Due to lack of transparency in terms of storage time additional deductions.
Review by Tim
Very thin for 50% and unpleasantly alcoholic and sharp in the mouth. The nose is still kind of okay, but you can't find too many other positive aspects. If this is Don Papa's attempt to make an honest rum, then you can guess what the rest of Don Papa's stuff is.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A bit sweet but the ABV is not integrated very well.
