Don Papa was inspired by Sugarlandia, a mystical and seductive world where not everything is as it seems and where time somehow passes more slowly. In the heart of this land, on the island of Negros, is the active volcano Mount Kanlaon. There you can find sugar cane, which grows wonderfully on fertile soil at the foot of the mountain.
We want to showcase the best that the rum world has to offer. That’s why The Colours of Rum series was born. We started by bottling rum from a selection of casks from the very finest producers.
The Real McCoy Rum is based on the story of Captain Bill McCoy, a so-called rum runner from the days of Prohibition. Around 1920, when alcohol was strictly banned in the U.S., McCoy began transporting rum from the Caribbean to off the coast of New York.

The story of Rum Nation began in a Scottish warehouse - for whisky. A natural environment for Fabio Rossi. The oenologist is part of the Italian family business Rossi & Rossi, which for three generations has imported whisky, among other things, and brought Laphroaig to Italy, for example. On one of his regular visits to Scotland, he tasted old rums from Guyana and Jamaica, which were stored there to blend Navy rum. A passion was born.
