Don Papa Barocco 200ml

Volume: 0.2 litres | Alcohol content: 40% | Chill filtration: Yes | Colouring: Yes

Special Features:

Maturation in former bourbon casks made from American oak is one of the defining production choices behind Don Papa Baroko, a rum-based spirit. It begins with local “Black Gold” molasses from the Philippine island of Negros. The resulting distillate spends several years in cask before particularly expressive batches are selected for the blend.

Baroko has a full-bodied, smooth style with vanilla, candied tropical fruit and honey. A subtle toasted oak note complements the sweet fruit flavours. It can be enjoyed neat, over ice or in cocktails. The small bottle contains 0.2 litres and comes without gift packaging.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Bold vanilla leads on the nose, accompanied by subtle citrus notes and sweet oak aromas.
• Palate: Baroko is smooth, creamy and full-bodied on the palate. Vanilla, honey and candied fruit define its flavour.
• Finish: The finish is long and powerful, leaving a hint of oak and spice.

Distillery/Bottler:

Don Papa is closely associated with Negros Occidental, a sugarcane-growing region of the Philippines also known as Sugarlandia. Sugarcane is processed in the fertile foothills of the active volcano Kanlaon, yielding the molasses used to make rum. Following fermentation and distillation, the Master Blender brings the distillates together.

The brand takes its name from Papa Isio, a freedom fighter and shaman from Negros who campaigned for his home island’s independence. This connection to the island also shapes Don Papa’s imagery, with its rich variety of animals and plants.
