Don Papa Rare Cask represents a deeper, bolder side of Negros Occidental rum, drawn from hand-selected barrels that develop their character slowly in the island’s humid climate. Rich, dark, and unapologetically intense, it captures the rugged spirit of Mt. Kanlaon and the sweetness of local sugarcane in a rare, limited-edition form.
