TASTE:
Don Papa "Baroko" Rum is the choice of those who like spirits with a very smooth and soave character, bringing to the glass all the sweetness of excellent quality molasses. To the eye it is a bright amber color with brilliant reflections. Intense and particularly rich, it gives aromas reminiscent of the sweetness of ripe tropical fruit, the softness of caramel and wildflower honey, aromas of candied fruit, bitter orange peel, vanilla, oriental spices, toasted almond, dried fruit, chocolate and slightly toasted woody memories. The palate entry is broad and warm, with dense enveloping aromas, giving a very harmonious, ripe and aromatically rich sip. The finish is persuasive and with great flavor persistence.
RAW MATERIAL:
Don Papa "Baroko" Rum is made in the Philippine island of Negros from the best sugarcane molasses and matured for several years in American oak barrels. The result is a deep amber color with a smooth, round profile and great expressive maturity, with notes of dried fruits, spices, exotic fruits, melted caramel and hints of vanilla and wood.
PRODUCTION METHOD:
The cane is hand-cut and processed to extract a fragrant molasses dense with sweet aromas. This is followed by fermentation of the raw material and the subsequent distillation stage, carried out in traditional copper stills. The rich distillate matures for a long time in highly toasted American oak barrels, previously used for aging Bourbon. Before bottling, a pinch of brown sugar is added to the rum to make its profile softer and sweeter.
BOXED:
YES
PAIRINGS:
It goes well with ingredients of distinct sweetness: jams, cakes and desserts are ideal accompaniments. An exception to the rule are cheeses, particularly fresh cheeses, which are enhanced by the TASTING NOTES of amber rum.
Cocktails, such as Cuba Libre, are an outstanding accompaniment to shrimp, lobster and fish cakes, but they also go well with some lean cuts of pork and with turkey, if cooked with not too aggressive spices.
