Papa's Pilar Legacy Edition 2021

It's Not the Size of the Boat. It's the Freedom of the Spirit.

If you're not new here, you're familiar with our feelings for 'Papa' Hemingway and a good Rum. This tipple was crafted to embottle the vigorous lust for life of the literary, travel, (and turn-up) icon. It's even co-named after the writer's legendary boat - Pilar.

A rare piece of good news from Florida, Key West actually, comes in the form of a first-ever to-be brand's annual iteration in commemoration of Ernest's extraordinary life. (We'd like to believe, by now, we're on the first-name-basis with 'the goat').

This Dark Rum is a double-solera finished knock-out with a bold flavor. The Rye Whiskey barrels and Amontillado Sherry casks add complexity to the blend of already solera-aged Rums from Panama, Barbados, Florida, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic. The boasty juice of 43% ABV comes in a bad-a$$ decanter wrapped in leather. A nifty collector's find - we might add, but they had us at Hemingway.
