Don Papa Masskara is a 40% ABV spiced rum from Negros, Philippines. It is distilled from local sugarcane grown in volcanic soil and infused with calamansi, honey and siling labuyo chili. The rum is sold in 700 ml bottles with a suggested retail price of around $50.
The kind of flavors I get here can’t even be found in the most well-made distillates that give off lots of fruit flavors like grappa, and some pot distilled rum. It’s just unnatural. Even aging a spirit in new oak won’t get you this kind of sweetness.
