Papas Pilar Dark 24-Year

After much searching, I was finally able to find Papa's Pilar in New Jersey. For me it was worth the wait. I prefer a cork opening instead of the screw top with chain, but that does not detract from the quality of this rum. Mild flavors of maple and vanilla make this a very smooth rum, and the 43% alcohol provides a warming, pleasant burn going down.

Hints of brown sugar and dark molasses. Slight richness & sweetness from the superb mix of several rums. Wonder to sip or on the rocks. Wit would last a little longer if the neck were a little smaller.

Great sipper. Smooth and complex. Hints of coffee and chocolate.

i liked this rum. I got heavy caramel notes. A sweet rum with a cool bottle.

Strong taste of vanilla comes first and sweetness comes later. Good rum for sweet rum lovers.

Dark color strong caramel scent not as smooth going down as I like but great complex flavors on the palate.

Tried it from all the raving being done. Honestly, not impressed. It wasn't bad, but nothing memorable either. I'll probably give it another chance before I cross it off permanently.

I love everything about this rum. First, the bottle is pure genius. Second, the Hemingway angle is a real winner. Finally, the taste just blows me away. I love sipping on this rum. It is a good thing I can find this pretty easily in New Jersey.
