Papalin

Papalin was created by Luca Gargano, renowned rum expert and founder of Velier, as a tribute to the forgotten tradition of blending rums from different origins, a practice once common in the 19th century. Named after a personal nickname, the brand reflects Gargano’s commitment to artisanal production and his deep respect for cultural authenticity in spirits.

Rather than a distillery, Papalin is a curated rum brand, offering high-quality blends sourced from iconic distilleries across the Caribbean, such as Jamaica and Haiti. All expressions are non-chill filtered, additive-free, and bottled in small batches, delivering a truly honest and flavorful rum experience.
