Don Papa, one of the lesser-known heroes of the Philippine revolution, played a decisive role in the fight for his country's independence. As a foreman on a sugar cane plantation, he recognized the injustice of colonial rule and courageously joined the resistance. He eventually became the leader of his countrymen and led them in their efforts to drive the conquerors out of his homeland. Don Papa came from the island of Negros, one of the central islands in the Philippine archipelago, and his name is now a symbol of freedom and resistance.

Don Papa Gayuma is a tribute to the shamans of Mt. Kanlaon and Isla del Fuego, and reflects the mystical and rich culture of these regions. This exceptional rum initially matures for three years in ex-bourbon barrels before being further refined for six months in heavily toasted Rioja barrels. The finish in Islay whisky barrels gives it an intense complexity, which is reflected in the multi-layered aromas and characterful taste.

This edition is a masterpiece that will delight lovers of premium rum.
