This internationally recognised home-grown rum launches the Sevillana, with only 60 bottles available in the country.
Meet Don Papa’s beautiful new brainchild: the rare Sevillana, a rum that is truly something special and sought after.
Don Papa’s Sevillana is a blend of five and fifteen-year-old rums distilled from 100% Negros Island sugar cane molasses. This particular rum was aged in American ex-bourbon barrels for several years and then transferred into two different kinds of Spanish casks for three more years: Oloroso Sherry and Andalusian Vino De Naranja (Orange Wine). From this intricate and meticulous process, the dark amber liquid is infused with an orange, citrus flavour profile.
As homage to the old tradition and fame of orange wines, which used to be a status symbol during the Manila-Acapulco Galleon trade era, Don Papa created Sevillana. The unique orange flavour comes from the infusion of Seville oranges also known as bitter oranges. These tick skinned fruits were introduced in Spain during the beginning of the 10th century through Moorish trade. Via the galleon trade with Southeast Asia, this gorgeous fruit made its way to the Philippines.
