Papalin is a project dedicated to blends conceived by Luca Gargano. The idea stems from a desire to return to the history of rum in the late 1800s, when Jamaican traders began to make blends, without indicating which distilleries they came from. Tropical blends have gradually disappeared since the 1970s, when distilleries began selling their products: Papalin therefore intends to return to the oldest tradition. The aim is to unite rums from a single island that have been totally produced and aged at distilleries.


The first release was dedicated to Jamaica, with Papalin Jamaica.
In the days of Myer's and John Wray Nephew the distilleries of origin were never stated on blended labels, and indeed the formula was a carefully guarded secret. For Papalin Jamaica, the decision was made to state explicitly that the blend was made with Hampden and Worthy Park, both aged for at least 7 years, only without stating the percentages.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
