A premium aged small batch rum from the island of Negros Occidental, in the Philippines, Don Papa is created on the fertile foothills of the active volcano Mt. Kanlaon, where the finest sugar cane is milled to produce sweet, rich molasses. The rum is charcoal filtered and blended to perfection to produce a signature rich, smooth taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
