Inspired by the ideals and life of Earnest Hemingway and the historical legacy of rum as it was from the past - Papa's Pilar Rum aims to offer the world a taste of rum as it should be! Established by founder Steven Groth as a way to honor the adventurer's spirit Hemingway lived by, the brand is named after the legendary boat of Hemingway - Pilar. Comprised of a variety of expertly sourced distillates from Florida, Central America, and the Caribbean isle, Papa's Pilar carefully blends its rum using a proprietary solera process for the purest taste and most authentic profile. With the help of renowned sommelier and cooperage expert Andy McNamara and a team of highly motivated rum lovers, the brand has risen in popularity across the US and internationally, winning acclaim from rum enthusiasts and collectors for its richly endowed flavor and masterful blending. Produced at the Hemingway Rum Company Distillery in Key West, Florida, Papa's Pilar offers several exceptional bottlings, including its Papa's Pilar Dark Rum, Blonde Rum, and Sherry Finished Rum - an aged rum produced from hand-selected juice matured in bourbon, ex-Port wine, and ex-sherry casks.
