Don Papa Alon Single Island Philippines Spirit Drink 40%

Toasted coconut, mango and a touch of chili from Negros – Don Papa's tribute to the island the whole brand is rooted in.

Expert description

Don Papa Alon Single Island is a Philippine Spirit Drink made exclusively from sugarcane and molasses grown on Negros and bottled at 40%.

Alon is a limited edition release, flavoured with toasted coconut, jackfruit and warm spices, all inspired by Negros' nickname "Sugarlandia" – the island that has historically produced a large share of the Philippines' sugar. Because Alon uses ingredients from this one island only, it stands apart from Don Papa's broader, wider-sourced blends.

Did you know?

Negros is nicknamed "Sugarlandia" because the island alone has historically accounted for around half of the entire Philippines' sugar production – and it is precisely here that both Don Papa and the Alon edition source all their raw material.
