Don Papa Baroko
A polarizing, very sweet, orange‑vanilla, liqueur‑like spirit. Loved by newcomers with a sweet tooth, criticized by enthusiasts for artificial notes and limited rum character.
This rum is a good beginner's rum because it's light and sweet at the same time. You can also use it for desserts or baking in my opinion. The nose is sweet and fruity with spice and caramel as well as a light floral note. The palate is also sweet and fruity with an oily feel and very light bitterness in the background. Caramel and vanilla follow behind. There is a light bitterness in the back, but barely noticeable. The finish is medium long, sweet and fruity with vanilla.Read more

How does Don Papa Baroko taste?
Ultra-sweet orange‑vanilla crowd-pleaser

Auto-translated6,9:The nose is very sweet, orange and vanilla. Like an oriental confection, the rum caresses the nostrils with a pinch of powdered sugar. One might think of a strawberry- or rosewater-flavored Turkish delight. The candied orange peel still contains some of its slightly bitter oil, which adds a little more depth.

The confectionery and bubblegum ambience remains, though one might have expected a stickier texture. The vanilla glides slowly over the tongue, the orange is in tune and forgets any hint of bitterness. On the other hand, a slight spicy, peppery note lifts the whole. 6,2:The finish is very sweet, with strawberry, banana and orange in confectionery form...
