Papas Pilar 24 Spanish Sherry Cask Finished

A very tasty addition to the line up, the sherry cask finish is just enough to detect. It’s similar to the dark 24 but woodier and a bit sweeter.

Right off the bat it smells like maple syrup. Has a very nice slightly sweet flavour.

If you like PP - you'll like this. Some slight sherry notes on the nose, but more balanced and just an excellent sipper.

This is the perfect rum to sip with a nice cigar on a warm Florida night! Smooth seems like an inadequate description. This rum poured over a cube will smooth your soul!

Decent flavor, tastes a bit artificial. A little too sweet. Too much burn.

This was a pleasant surprise. A nice smell, a great sweetnes and a taste that stays in the mouth. I like the taste of Sherry. This is not bad at all.

Not to buy again. Not my cup of coffee. Too much cherry

A very well balanced room. I believe is the best blended. Long finish, deep taste. Not very sweet. Tastes of sherry, honey, sherry's wooden barrel and carnation. Perfect choice for that amount of money

In the glass a reddish amber color. The smell is intoxicating on the nose. Sweet fruit. Candyish . Very good flavor. Butterscotch , vanilla , toffee, chocolate and cherry. Long sherry finish. Coats the tongue. A winner .

A blend of Virgin Islands rums, where the oldest component is 24 years old, at 43% strength in bottle. Pilar was Ernest Hemingway's yacht, which he sailed in the Caribbean.

The rum was aged in several types of cask: bourbon, port and sherry Oloroso wine.

Bottle: Military canteen
Colour: Mahogany
Nose: Sweet and very pleasant. It smells of caramel, honey, vanilla, sherry wine and raisins.
Taste: A little alcoholic at first. It is sweet, but not too much. In the taste you can identify wood, spices (pepper, nutmeg), caramel and again sherry. At the end it turns into a slight bitterness.
Finish: Long

Summary: A very good sweet rum that does not lack strength. I definitely recommend to taste it.

Overall rating: 8.5 out of 10
