Don Papa 7 Year Rum

This aged rum, newly arrived from the Philippines, is made in small batches with a base of molasses produced from an old strain of sugar cane. The aroma is honeyed, slightly nutty and touched with vanilla. It is mellow on the palate with suggestions of orange peel and banana, and it has a sweet, liqueurlike finish, making it a choice for sipping neat or on the rocks, perhaps with a modest splash of tropical fruit juice.
