Named after one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century, Ernest Hemingway, and the boat he used to travel the world, Pilar, this is an artisan brand based in the USA. Marrying together Rums from around the world they create two expressions, Blonde and Dark, and pay homage to a great man and a great drink.
  
Papa’s Pilar Dark is aged in Solera and Port Wine casks and finished in Sherry casks, giving it a spicy and sweet oak wood flavor. It is made up of Rums from Florida, Central America and the Caribbean. Like most Rums, it has a traditionally sweet overtone, but has a wonderfully dark and bitter undertone, full of coffee and dark chocolate, to complement the caramel perfectly.

Member Reviews and Ratings of Papa's Pilar Rum Dark
Jarred
Jarred,
sweet, smooth, slightly buttery. tastes very similar to the Kirk & Sweeney 18 yr rum
 
Howard
Howard,
Relatively sweet. Smooth. A bit of a maple syrup flavor. Nice aftertaste. Seems like they might be going for a cute, gimicky rum using the Florida/Caribbean/Hemmingway bit. Expensive for a blended rum in my opinion. Others for the price that I like better; Afrohead, Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, el Dorado 15 Year Kirk and Sweeney 23 year.
 
Brianne

Amazing

Not that smooth at all. At this price point, better bet is Kirk and Sweeney 23 YR or El Dorado 12 YR
 
Bruce
Bruce,
I enjoyed it a lot. Vanilla led the way but enough bitter tang came through at the end to make it very interesting. I would buy it again. After trying all the others....
