Don Papa Mount Kanlaon Small Batch Filippinerne Rum 40%

At the foot of the Kanlaon volcano on Negros, this rum matures for at least seven years in a hot, humid climate that quickly draws character from the cask.

Expert Description

Don Papa Mount Kanlaon Small Batch is a Philippine Rum matured for a minimum of 7 years, bottled at 40%.

The rum is distilled and matured in small batches at the foot of Mount Kanlaon on the island of Negros. The region's hot, humid climate promotes a rapid maturation process and an "Angel's Share" of up to 8%, meaning a significant portion of the rum evaporates from the casks during maturation. The result is a deeply golden rum with a copper glow and a full, aromatic character.

Tasting Notes

Fruity without being heady, with vanilla notes enveloping citrus fruits such as mandarin and grapefruit as well as yellow fruits such as ripe apricot.

Palate

Smooth and delicate with vanilla, honey and candied fruit, where sweet tangerine and apricot are followed by vanilla ice cream drizzled with runny caramel sauce, plus hints of raisin, sultana and marmalade.

Finish

Long and rich in texture.
