Don Papa Sherry Cask 2012
Most enjoy the bold sherry, cherry and dried-fruit punch and drier profile versus standard Don Papa. Critics find it young, sharp, artificial and overpriced. Consensus: interesting, divisive experiment for sherry fans.
Fruity and spicy on the nose with notes of cherry, fig, plum and raisin. A small hint of tobacco and clove. Some acidity in the direction of green apple and tangy Riesling. All in all, mild and full-bodied. In the mouth, unmistakable sherry, cherry, raisin, fig and spicy oak. Also a fine acidity of white wine. Dry. The finish is rather short to medium with a hint of cocoa and some lemon zest. Great rum and not too oversweetened for my taste.Read more

How does Don Papa Sherry Cask 2012 taste?
Dry, cherry-heavy Don Papa detour
If you like sherry-finished whiskies or want a drier, more oaky Don Papa, this is worth a try—but go in expecting bold cherry and some rough edges, not classic aged-rum depth.
Those who dislike pronounced sherry influence, are sensitive to youthful sharpness, expect natural-tasting complexity, or want maximum value for the price.

Auto-translatedThis is a rum which was finished in 5 different casks. First finish is done in American oak bourbon casks and then 18 months in 4 different sherry casks; Fino, Pedro Ximinez, Cream and Palo Cortado. A very nice long velvety finish.
Geschmacks Explosion im Mund. Lecker allerdings preis Leistung nicht gut
8,1:The nose is balanced, round, with molasses, strongly roasted nuts with smokiness, camphor and red fruits, ripe banana. Tangerine brings its bitterness and acidity, making for a rather lively finish. Over time, camphor and wax take on an increasingly medicinal quality. With time, the varnished wood and minty notes come to the fore. It is soft and warm, exhaling aromas of vanilla tobacco and nuts. 8:The palate is dry and astringent, as the sherry cask would suggest. Once again, camphor takes a large slice of the aroma cake. The profile is medicinal, resinous, bit spicy and a little roasted. The blend is quite concentrated, with intense vanilla, ripe exotic fruit and resin, followed by a hint of cereal. 7,7:The finish is quite long and juicy, with exotic fruit and cherry pie, confectionery like.I like this rum, no joke!🙂 Edit: 18.5.25 A little downgrade, but not a bad rum...
