A Drunken Thread For When You're A Drunken

Soooo my team went to the pub at lunch and we have had several pints of a whitstable pale ale. We have bow moved on to this fantastic rum called 'Don Papa'. Its a Filipino rum which produces small batch bottles. My girlfriend is a British Filipino and her father hadnt heard of this until I sent him a photo. Their signiture rum is 'Tanduay' which is super cheap over there - As a side annecdote I went to the supermarket and bought a 1lr bottle of tanduay and a pack of gum and the gum ended up costing more (50p for the gum and 40p for the rum)

Was the rum sweet, spicy, or more matured "whisky" flavor?
 
Im no expert when it comes to spirits, but its certainly a richer (matured?) flavour. I was reading up on it and it uses sugarcane from one of the islands which is considered some of the best sugar in the world.
The reason I asked is because here in Paraguay we have a very large national rum economy. We call it caña but it's still a sugar cane distilled beverage. The difference is we age our rum in oak barrels, higher quality rums aged between 8 and 12 years. But is has a bite to it, like sipping bourbon or whiskey. I personally like sweet and spicy rums. Like, very seriously here, Captain Morgan is not that bad all things considered. My favorite rum was one bought in the island of Mauritius. It was infused with actual vanilla beans. Very tasty and went down smooth. Brazilian cachaça is also a very good rum but it's more like tequila in the aftertaste.
