Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum is a good beginner's rum because it's light and sweet at the same time. You can also use it for desserts or baking in my opinion. The nose is sweet and fruity with spice and caramel as well as a light floral note. The palate is also sweet and fruity with an oily feel and very light bitterness in the background. Caramel and vanilla follow behind. There is a light bitterness in the back, but barely noticeable. The finish is medium long, sweet and fruity with vanilla.

Fruity smell as always. Fruity and spicier than normal Don Papa Finish somewhat short
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
My first Don Papa - and hopefully my last. Then you might as well drink Red Bull with Primasprit.Terrible something, hands off.

Super rum. Warme vanille tonen en caramel
Review by Galli33
Very unspectacular spirit. I think it‘s no rum either. It has some various notes. But the alcohol and taste of fruits is smell synthetic and fake for me. Btw. i don‘t like the don papa series…🫣🫣

Soooo long finish. You have to like sweet.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Terribly sweet and artificial on the nose and then terribly alcoholic spicy and unclean dry ... Does not go at all.

Klasse Rum.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Oh my god.... I don't have the words. This is the kind of juice that makes Smecta look like a 1978 Skeldon. The nose is infamous, it oozes artificial, industrial flavors. It's a kind of orange-flavored glucose concentrate with hints of caramel that make you nauseous (and I'm not even kidding when I say that). The palate confirms that this is the equivalent of a satanic suppository: a liquorous, foul, synthetic drink. You feel like you're drinking a drug. It's disgusting, and I'm not even sure it's a good rum for making pancakes. It's the kind of rum that makes me think it needs to be rated even lower than "undrinkable". The finish is unpleasant and artificial, lingering on the palate to my dismay. This "stuff" is a disgrace, a filth and probably one of the worst inventions of Humanity. Drink this doctored, mutagenic juice and you'll get diabetes and cancer. By far the worst rum I've ever tasted, it deserves to be burnt at the stake.
Review by Jan Schulze
A good drop for a cozy evening, very sweet and vanilla but very pleasant to drink.
Review by zabo
Selten ao etwas küntliches im Glas gehabt. Wurde jetzt nur noch für den Kaffee und Ristretto benutzt um sich Zucker zu sparen. Zusammengefasst ist das mich diese überzuckerte Zeug überhaupt nicht mehr schmeckt. Gnadenlos überzuckert und der Geschmack ist für mich nur noch künstlich.
Review by handyrambo
DP 7y ist ja wie Bayern München, entweder man liebt oder hasst ihn ;-) Ich mag DP 7y, dazu muss man heute aber sagen den alten DP 7y, mittlerweile gibt es ja den Small Batch und den Single Island, den letzteren kenne ich noch nicht. Der Baroko soll den alten DP 7y ersetzen, was aufgrund der neuen Zuckerverordnung wohl gar kein echter Rum mehr ist. Ich mag den alten DP 7y, insofern war ich sehr gespannt…und bin ehrlich gesagt enttäuscht. Er schmeckt süß, mild und …, ja was noch, keine Ahnung, ich schmecke kaum was. Eventuell habe ich Corona oder Schnupfen aber außer süß und mild ist da nicht viel. 80 Sterne dennoch, weil er schon irgendwie gut ist oder ich bin zu sehr DP Fanboy. Kenne denn DP 7y und 10y und der Baroko ist auf jeden Fall der schwächste.
Review by heckto🥃
Nach erneuter Verkostung muss ich meine Bewertung deutlich nach unten korrigieren. Der erste Dufteindruck ist noch ganz angenehm bis die künstlichen Aromen zu bemerken sind. Am Gaumen wird dies noch intensiver und die künstliche Süße verdrängt jeglichen Genuss. Als Mischgetränk aber gut.

Definitely not rum, but rum based liquer
Review by Michael Schillheim
That was my seventh Don Papa and now I've had enough. Basically, I am of the opinion that you have to make yourself a picture to be able to judge. For me, of the tasted spirits with rum ambitions, the Rye Cask was still the most drinkable bottling. The Baroko in front of me just smells and tastes like artificial orange flavoring, as used in baking, and Wrigley's Juicy Fruit chewing gum. Followers of this brand and effect drinkers may find their undemanding heaven here, but for me it is definitely nothing.
