Rum was once a noble spirit. It was served aboard warships, rationed to visionary explorers, and used to sustain the Founding Fathers as they plotted revolution. It was a drink consumed by men who understood that you only get one shot at life. Ernest Hemingway, or "Papa" as he was known, was this type of man – an adventurer who lived life to the fullest. He was an author, a free thinker, a sportsman, and a bon vivant. But he was never a spectator. Pilar was the boat that allowed this American literary giant to reach beyond the shoreline and feast on life. Inspired by his appetite for adventure, we've proudly created a super-premium rum — Papa’s Pilar. Papa's Pilar Dark and Blonde rums have been crafted to reflect Hemingway's passions on land and at sea. Bold, well-traveled, and uniquely American, Papa's Pilar is hell-bent on returning rum to its gutsy roots. Papa’s Pilar Blonde Inspired by the seaward adventures of Ernest Hemingway, Papa’s Pilar Blonde celebrates an exceptionally smooth tasting experience consisting of citrus notes, hints of almond and oak, and a creamy mouth. It’s distinguished, worldly and lasting. Papa’s Pilar Dark Inspired by the boundless land travels of Ernest Hemingway, Papa’s Pilar Dark boasts a bold mouth, long finish and a complex flavor profile hell-bent on returning rum to it’s gutsy roots. It’s bold, well-traveled and deeply nuanced. Live courageously. Drink Responsibly.
