Main highlights

Every year in October, dancers now move through the streets to celebrate one of the largest and most magnificent festivals in the Philippines. Impressively, it symbolises the resistance and cheerful nature of the locals.
Don Papa Masskara is refined with the following ingredients: Siling Labuyo: a small, wild growing chili native to the Philippines. It is considered one of the hottest chilies in the world. Calamansi: a cross between mandarin and kumquat. Native to the Philippines and sour in taste. Similar to a lime. Filipino Honey: Produced by four different tropical honey bees in the Philippines, with more moisture and fructose content.
Don Papa Masskara - a tribute to the MASSKARA FESTIVAL. The colourful festival was created in the middle of a crisis of the island of s. At that time, prices for locally harvested sugar cane dropped. And that affected the standard of living. Together with the local artist community and the villagers, the famous Masskara Festival was launched.
Don Papa MassKara is simply incomparable. He celebrates the Philippines. He celebrates the rum. It is for anyone looking for an explosion of the senses. We carefully blend our American oak aged rum with a pot still infusion of local Filipino ingredients.
Aroma: Rich honey aromas with hints of fresh citrus fruits. Flavour: soft and fruity, with delicate notes of honey, candied fruit and deliciously sweet citrus in a perfect balance. Finish: Long and strong with a gorgeous finish.
