Don Papa 7 Year Old Port Cask Rum

Don Papa's port cask commemorates the quincentenary of the earth's first circumnavigation, an epic voyage ultimately leading to the landing by the Spanish in the Philippines. 500 years ago, Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, was commissioned by King Charles I of Spain to embark on an expedition in search of the Spice Islands. It was an odyssey over the edge of the world that would forever change the course of maritime navigation and history.

Distilled from Negros Island and aged in the unique volcanic climate surrounding the foothills of Mt, Kanlaon, this intensely full-bodied expression has developed an additional layer of complexity. Intensely aged two years in ex-bourbon casks, the rum was then transferred into rich, ruby-hued port casks for an additional 5 years. The result is a rum of a dark, spicy character with a warming, lingering fruitiness, bringing to life the majestic port casks.
