several years in American oak casks, distilled from Noble sugarcane and
bottled at 50.5% abv. Each cask is
hand-selected by Don Papa’s master distiller, which has been made unfiltered
and unblended.
The
Expression has been described as a rich and smooth rum with, notes of fruit and
spices on the nose, with a cake fruit, cocoa, oak notes
on the palate and a long cool finish with notes of wild mint.

Rare
Cask joins the Don Papa portfolio, which includes the original Don Papa and the
Don Papa 10-year-old limited edition. Limited
to 6,000 numbered bottles globally, the rum is packaged in a wooden canister,
with details of Don Papa’s island home.
Don Papa Rum was inspired by the story of one of the unsung heroes of
the Philippine revolution: Dionisio Magbuelas, better known locally as
"Papa" Isio.
Commemorating
the launch, Don Papa commissioned wood sculptor Dave Johnson to recreate the
bottle and its label in a one-off wood sculpture. Don Papa Rare Cask will be available at a
selection of bars and restaurants with a recommended retail price of $85.00.
