Following the UK debut of its core expression last year,
Philippine Rum brand Don Papa has launched a limited edition 10-year-old
expression in the market.
Don
Papa 10 will launch in the UK later this week.
Don Papa, described as the world’s first single island rum from the
Philippines, first hit shelves in the UK last February. The brand’s “super-premium” 10-year-old variant is a created on
the southern island of Negros and is aged in re-charred oak barrels in the
foothills of Mount Kanlaon before being blended. The variant will be distributed in the UK by
distributor Marblehead Brand Development from 5 November, with exclusive
availability in Harvey Nichols for the first month.
“We are very proud to be able to bring
out the 10-year-old and further share with the world, some great Philippine
rums,” said Don Papa Rum founder Stephen Carroll. “We have been delighted with the reception
to Don Papa 10 in other international markets, and we expect this 10-year old
edition to enjoy similar success in the UK.”
Said to have a flavor of dried fruit, cacao and a “hint” of smoke, Don
Papa 10 is bottled at 43% abv and will be available in the UK.
