Hemingway Rum Papa‘s Pilar Dark Rum
Most enjoy its sweet chocolate-caramel profile and smoothness; critics find it thin, a bit alcoholic and short. Overall: a solid, easygoing dessert-style rum for sweet-tooth drinkers.

How does this rum taste?
Sweet, dessert-like, easygoing sipper
If you enjoy sweeter sipping rums like Diplomatico Mantuano or Don Papa, this will feel familiar: lots of chocolate-caramel comfort, low challenge, but not much depth to dissect.
Anyone avoiding added sugar, drinkers who dislike very sweet profiles, and enthusiasts searching for high complexity, long finishes or purely “dry” traditional rums.

This has become one of my go to and absolute favorites.
Bought directly on Key West. There on vacation he tastes better with Bob of course, but a tasty rum without edges. Quite short finish, unfortunately.
Auto-translatedNachtrag: heute in der Friendsgivingrunde auf den Tisvj H gestellt: einhellige Meinung: geiler Rum und perfekter Bourbon Abgang. Never drunk before! Ich bin absoluter Rumliebhaber. Aber als Bourbon Fan eine tolle Hommage an Hemmingway als Rum. Mein absoluter Favorit aktuell!
Smells like brown sugar and vanilla. Lighter not overly boosy. Tastes brown sugar vanilla and earth. No spice. Sweet on front end& light/butter. Caramel on back end.
