Admiral Vernon's Old J Dark Spiced Rum

Admiral Vernon's Dark Spiced Rum takes their full strength Gold rum and adds aphotic bitters to create a stormy looking liquid. All the much loved flavours associated with this band are present but with more caramel and a tad less vanilla. A brilliant rum for creating dark and stormy cocktails or drunk with a splash of Coke.

Don Papa Masskara Rum

Don Papa Masskara Rum takes its inspiration from the vibrant Masskara Festival of Negros, capturing the island’s colourful spirit in a bold, fruit‑forward expression. Distilled from rich local molasses and infused with native Calamansi citrus and Siling Labuyo chilli, it offers a lively twist on the classic Don Papa style while still carrying the brand’s signature smoothness and sweetness. The aroma opens with bright notes of candied citrus, tropical fruit and vanilla, lifted by a gentle floral edge. On the palate, it’s rounded and expressive, with flavours of sweet orange peel, honey and ripe fruit layered over soft oak. The Calamansi brings a refreshing zing, while the Siling Labuyo adds a subtle warmth that builds slowly without overpowering. The finish is smooth, lightly spiced and pleasantly lingering, leaving a balance of sweetness, citrus and gentle heat. A playful, aromatic rum that brings a festival‑like energy to the glass, ideal for sipping neat, mixing into vibrant cocktails or pairing with spicy dishes and citrus‑led desserts.
