Don Papa unveils Sherry Casks Finish limited edition rum
Filipino premium rum brand Papa has introduced a new limited edition expression to its growing portfolio, matured in .

The Sherry Casks Finish joins the original Don Papa, the 10-year-old Don Papa, and Rare Cask in the Don Papa collection.

Distilled from molasses, the American oak ex-bourbon casks aged for four years, followed by 18 months in four different types of sherry casks: Fino, Pedro Ximenez, Cream, and Palo .

Following this, the rums are carefully blended by Don Papa's master blender to create an unfiltered and bottled limited edition expression at 45% ABV.

Described as “smooth and fruity on the nose” with notes of plum, dark , and mature fig, the flavor and textures brought by the blend of different sherry casks are said to bring “another dimension” to the Don Papa drinking experience.

While maintaining the irreverence of Papa Isio's story, Sherry Casks Finish presents a baroque-inspired design with a disrespectful nod to the 's Spanish heritage, transforming the master distiller on a plantation into a revolutionary hero fighting for independence for his country.

Distributed in the UK by Quintessential Brands, Sherry Casks Finish will be exclusively available at Harvey Nichols and various bars and restaurants across the UK.

After its launch in Rome and Madrid, the Don Papa team chose to introduce the new Sherry Cask Finish to the UK press and drinks industry during London Week. The event took place in the Baroque Room at St Andrew Church in Holborn.

The brand hosted a Spanish and Filipino tapas and sherry pairing feast, created with commentary on sherry and by renowned Spanish chef Joseba Lasa and Adrian Smith. The gastronomic experience was accompanied by a baroque-inspired film score performed by the Brunel Quartet, stars of the upcoming Amazon Prime show, The Three Drinkers.
