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.

Definitely not rum, but rum based liquer

Fruity smell as always. Fruity and spicier than normal Don Papa Finish somewhat short
Review by LukaŽiga
6,9:The nose is very sweet, orange and vanilla. Like an oriental confection, the rum caresses the nostrils with a pinch of powdered sugar. One might think of a strawberry- or rosewater-flavored Turkish delight. The candied orange peel still contains some of its slightly bitter oil, which adds a little more depth. Aeration confirms and reinforces the sensation of roundness. The candy sugar is melted and takes on the air of barley sugar. It's also reminiscent of the first bite of strawberry gum. 7:The palate is soft, fluid and quite sweet. The confectionery and bubblegum ambience remains, though one might have expected a stickier texture. The vanilla glides slowly over the tongue, the orange is in tune and forgets any hint of bitterness. On the other hand, a slight spicy, peppery note lifts the whole. 6,2:The finish is very sweet, with strawberry, banana and orange in confectionery form...

Super rum. Warme vanille tonen en caramel
Review by Patrik Onderka
A real sugar bomb can best describe this one. On the other hand, it might be interesting for newcomers and ladies. A lot of artificial citruses in nose and tones of sugar on palate. However, I have to admit I like the art on their tubas which made iconic and got Philippines to the rum map.

Sweet as shit. Artificial.

Klasse Rum.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Orange orange orange! The nose is all orange flavours with vanilla and butterscotch. The taste is just more of the same, oranges! But also spices and woody notes from the barrels. This is fine as a sipper if you want a rum that really tastes like oranges, almost like cointreau. The standard Don Papa is less spicy. I prefer the Baroko variant with more taste.
Review by Jan Schulze
A good drop for a cozy evening, very sweet and vanilla but very pleasant to drink.
Review by Marijke Rum & Spelletjes
Hele zachte Don Papa, doet denken aan boterbabbelaars (of het likeurtje Koekie). Fijn drankje voor bij de spelletjes avond met vrienden @Mirjam.
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 Daniel
Nase: künstlich, süß und Konfekt. Gaumen: Zitrusfrüchte, Orange, würzig aber auch Vanille und eine künstliche Note. Fazit: Typischer Don Papa. Sehr intensive, übertriebene Ausprägung der Aromen, wenngleich nicht ganz so süß wie der 7YO.
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.
