Don Papa Gayuma, meaning “love potion” in Tagalog, is a unique cuvée that pays tribute to the traditions of the shamans of Negros Island, Philippines. This super-premium rum, crafted with care, combines artisanal expertise with a rich history of rituals and legends. This rum is the result of an exceptional aging and finishing process. Aged for 3 years in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, then refined for 6 months in Rioja barrels toasted at high temperatures and an additional 3 months in intensely charred Islay whisky oak barrels, this rum reveals a complexity that surprises and delights. With its peated notes (a first in the Don Papa universe) and its rich, indulgent bouquet, it invites discerning connoisseurs to a unique and intriguing experience.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: From the very first whiffs, the nose reveals a pleasant surprise: characteristic peated notes derived from Islay casks. These are subtly complemented by woody, smoky, and spicy touches, offering a rare depth for a rum of this range.
PALATE: The entry is smooth and creamy, marked by delicate and enveloping vanilla. As the tasting progresses, aromas of dark cocoa, clove, and mint unfold, balanced by a zesty freshness of orange peel. A controlled complexity that intrigues and captivates.
FINISH: Long and persistent, the finish asserts itself with smoky and spicy notes. The peated flavors, a legacy of the Islay whisky casks, blend harmoniously with the warmth of spices, leaving a rich and memorable impression.
