Don Papa MASSKARA 40% Vol. 0,7l New Design

Don Papa MASSKARA (40% ABV) is a rum-based spirit with a distinct character, hailing from the Philippines and inspired by the vibrant MassKara tradition of Negros Occidental. It is crafted from aged rum, refined with a separately prepared pot-still infusion of Philippine botanicals. A key ingredient is the hand-picked calamansi—a citrus fruit native to the Philippines—which imparts an intense, lively citrus freshness. This is complemented by *siling labuyo*, a small, highly aromatic Philippine chili pepper, whose spice adds an intriguing tension to the spirit’s sweet, fruity foundation. This blend marries Don Papa’s tropical origins with a unique, botanical-forward take on a rum-based spirit.

Bottled at 40% ABV, Don Papa MASSKARA is both full-bodied and vibrant, featuring a harmonious interplay of fruity sweetness, candied citrus, and spicy warmth. The calamansi provides freshness and a subtly exotic acidity, while the *siling labuyo* chili develops a delicate, warming heat, particularly on the finish. The colorful bottle design draws inspiration from the MassKara Festival in Negros Occidental, underscoring the spirit’s Philippine identity. Offered in a 0.7-liter bottle, Don Papa MASSKARA serves as a distinctive alternative to conventional rum, combining an aged rum base with tropical citrus and a nuanced touch of chili spice to create a truly unique specialty.
