Product description
Papa’s Pilar Distillery is a rum factory located at Key West, Florida, and closely linked to the figure of Ernest Hemingway, the great American writer, traveller, adventurer, bon vivant and conservationist.
The distillery was named after Hemingway’s beloved boat, Pilar, and is actually located very close to the place it used to me moored. According to the manufacturer, the Papa’s Pilar rum was created so as to harness that spirit of adventure associated with Hemingway’s favourite boat. The company’s rums are made from spirits distilled both at the Papa’s Pilar Distillery and spirits imported from other manufacturers in the Caribbean. Papa’s Pilar rums contain spirits from Barbados, Dominican Republic, Panama and Venezuela.
