Papa’s Pilar Rum

Produced in homage to Ernest Hemingway (and part-owned by the Hemingway Foundation) and his legendary fishing boat, Pilar, this is a world-class rum that includes rums from Central America, the Caribbean and the mainland United States that are then blended in a solera method using a combination of bourbon and port casks, with finishing in sherry casks. The results, for both the brand’s Blonde and Dark varieties, is a rum fit to honor Hemingway.
