Papas Pilar 24 Spanish Sherry Cask Finished

Not the most sophisticated rum drinker as I'm coming from the bourbon community but this is spectacular. So smooth with intricate flavors that keep me coming back for more. Eager to explore the 2022 legacy edition.

Sampled at Sloppy Joes. This has a wine-like aroma. It is smoother and better than the regular Dark rum. Sweet and complex wood flavors. Sherry notes pronounced. UPDATE: Tasted the Laka Lono Select barrel on 11-14-23. Much more of a bourbon- like aroma and flavor. Still has big woods though. With a few drops of water this explodes into a spice world! Incredible. My score goes up to a 9 for the Laka Select Barrel. I’ll keep the posted score for the regular batch.

I’m not a fan of the regular Papa’s because of all of the additives and sugar so I tried this one reluctantly. That said, it’s not too bad. Yes, it’s still VERY sweet but it’s not as sugary and fake tasting.

Love the sherry finish, and the warm notes from vanilla, caramel and more make it a great sip.

Surprisingly good for the price. I was not expecting the complexity normally found in more aged rums.

Beautiful rum: smells of vanilla, caramel, some dark fruit. Tastes amazing... the sherry gives this rum a kick of extra sweetness with a long finish. Just perfect.

I’m a big fan Pilar. I think they make great blends and are very palatable. Sherry was not overpowering, more of a hint which is great because you don’t want to mask the rum…. Or you’d just order a dang sherry.

Good rum with nice flavors but still on the sweeter side. Some layers of flavors and a nice finish.

Very pleased with this. Far better than the base rum. Not overly complex, but a very easy rum to sip. Slight flavors of cask and an almost red glow to it.

I is verry good not so sweet, fruit it is like the old ron from gossling ...
