Ernest “Papa” Hemingway wrote about lots of adventurous things, like bullfighting, hunting, and skiing. But there’s nothing he had more experience in than drinking, with rum being his go-to. Papa’s Pilar Rum honors the adventurer’s spirit by blending premium rums from the Caribbean, Central, South, and North America.

Launched in Key West with involvement from Hemingway’s descendants, Papa’s Pilar was named after Ernest’s boat, “Pilar,” to reflect their patriarch’s bigger-than-life spirit. Pilar’s dark rum expression is a rich sipper, while the world’s first “blonde” rum is a bright Solera blend of six rums finished in Bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks.
A great rum like this is essential to making a great Mojito or Hemingway Daiquiri, naturally enough. But to broaden your cocktail repertoire, give Papa Pilar’s Blonde a shot as the key ingredient in this flavorful, fruit-forward rum punch.
