Papas Pilar 24 Spanish Sherry Cask Finished

The complexity of this addition to the Pilar portfolio is very nice. Maple on the nose with hints of vanilla. The flavor has offerings of dark chocolate and anise. The sweetness of the rum balances the higher proof offering a great mouth feel and smooth finish.

I love the 24 year old Papas Pilar dark and did not imagine a substantially better dark rum would emerge from this distillery. Happily, I was dead wrong. This is quite literally one of the 3 best rums It has ever been my privilege to experience. I am not prepared yet to rank it among that small 5 member subset but it could be #1. The sherry finish simply dilates and deepens all of the great flavor, balance and complexity of the original 24 year old. Impeccably smooth. Masterfully balances. Maintains the maple presence and sweeps down the pallet into deep sherry flavor. The finish is long and like velvet. I will stop now. You must try this outstanding rum. Bravo Hemingway clan! No stranger to the finer passionate things in life, Ernest would happily succumb to the haze of this spectacular distillation. As am I.

I really like the Pilar line up. This one is solid.

This rum reminds me somehow Metaxa 5 (brandy-cognac). Anyway Papas Pilar Sherry cask is fruity & a touch Sherry taste with a light cognac & port finish (unique combinations of aging barrels compeare to other aged rums). Also it is sweet with a pretty soft touch acid-sour but doesnt burn much. Good value for money & enjoynable!

I can't taste the sherry notes, but it is delicious none the less. Smooth, so sweet, and just a dessert in your mouth.

Whether you believe the backstory on this spirit or not, this one is quite the surprise. A nice nose and sweet pallet. Finishes with a smooth oak and caramel with a hint of apricot. I would recommend this to anyone who prefers matured complex rums neat or on the rocks. Too good to use for a mixer.

A 7.5 on my ratings. Tastes like a fine port wine and a wonderful ending to a nice dinner.

This is a dark amber rum. It's very vanilla - ish but not overpowering. It also has a nice caramel and molasses flavor. Spicy.

En suverän rom som slår många dyrare rom på fingrarna. Provades och köptes på Birkas romkryssning 2019.

Färgen på denna är något mörkare än de andra två. Mörkare med en röd ton. Doften på denna är också annorlunda än den första. Jag känner torkad frukt, något stickig men behaglig sherry, efter en stund i glaset känner jag även nötter. Smaken känner jag nötter, vanilj och fatig
relativt torr sherry. Ek. Bäst av de tre helt klart, denna får ett betyg mellan 7 och 8.
