Don papa is a relatively yound brand created in 2013 by Stephen Carroll, former manager at Diageo. The Don Papa distillery is located on Negros Island, also known as Sugarlandia, in the Philippines. The island is ideal for producing a new style of rum, which pays homage to a great historical figure: Dionisio Magbuelas, nicknamed Papa Isio, an icon of the national revolution of 1896. Don Papa rums are distilled within the Bago distillery, in a column still, from Negros sugar cane and are then aged in old Kentucky oak barrels that have contained bourbon, giving the rum a vanilla note.
