The history of Don Papa rum

The story of Don Papa Don Papa was born in the Philippines in 2012. Since then, this molasses rum created by Stephen Carroll has established itself as a real " bestseller". Don Papa invites you to discover a new land, that of the island of Negros, commonly called "Sugarlandia". Don Papa owes its success to its very sweet aromatic profile, dominated by citrus notes, and its almost syrupy texture. A style which gives it a real seduction, especially among new lovers of sugar cane cognac.

Don Papa 10 Years Rum comes from the island of Negros in the Philippines, where it is made from local molasses, known for its sweetness and richness. For those unsure whether the Philippines is now one of the top 10 sugarcane producing countries in the world, rum production only started 150 years ago only to stop temporarily during the ban.

Discover the rums of the Don Papa brand from the Philippines

When he fell in love with the Philippines, Stephen Carroll was particularly amazed at the wealth of his country. Thus, the former marketing director of Rémy Martin cognac has only one idea: to discover this land blessed by the gods. Due to its very fertile volcanic soil, the island of Negros is particularly suitable for the cultivation of sugar cane.

Yves-Léopold Germain, a Norman businessman who planted the first feet of the archipelago in 1840, also understood this. On this island, nicknamed "Sugarlandia", the cane handles are heavier than elsewhere and their sugar content is higher. Don Papa is column-distilled from this local molasses, known for its high sugar concentration. It matures in American oak barrels.

Due to the climate, the proportion of angels in the Philippines is very high and the distillery does not want to fill the barrels with young rum.
