Don Papa Masskara

Sugar cane plays a major role on the island of Negros, and its harvest is celebrated every year during the “Festival of Smiles”, also known as Masskara. Every October, the streets of Sugarlandia are filled with lively music, colourful parades and costumes to celebrate the joy and strength of spirit of the island’s inhabitants.

Made from local molasses rum, known locally as ‘black gold’. Don Papa Masskara is aged in American Bourbon oak barrels, then blended with a hand-selected infusion of Calamansi, Siling Labuyo and local honey. The result is a spirit that is both rich and complex.
