2023
The super-premium plus segment of the rum category is in the early stages of premiumisation, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18% in Europe and 27% in the US between 2016-2021. Through the same period, Don Papa Rum consistently outperformed the market in Europe, delivering a 29% CAGR*.
Launched in 2012 by entrepreneur Stephen Carroll, together with Manila-based AJ Garcia, Don Papa is currently available in 30 countries, with France, Germany, and Italy being its largest markets. Don Papa Rum has a unique flavour profile, highly distinctive packaging and an authentic brand story rooted in the unique and beautiful island of Negros Occidental — known locally as ‘Sugarlandia’.
The rum is distilled in the Bago distillery on the island and aged on the island in American oak barrels. The combination of the local sugar cane, unique soil and climate and the oak barrel ageing in the hot tropical climate provides the foundation for Don Papa’s long, rich-textured finish, which carries flavours of vanilla, honey, and candied fruits.
We have a global team with senior-led sector-focused cross-border teams who sit across our offices in the UK, Europe and the US.
