Hemingway Rum Papa's Pilar Sherry Finish
The sherry cask is the whole show here — raisins, cherries and a chocolate-covered-cherry note that even one taster who dislikes that flavor admitted worked. Under it sits caramel, toffee and a slightly sweet, nutty body. Nice enough neat at room temperature, but a few people found it plain, a bit hot mid-palate, and picked up an additive edge behind the fruit.
The community says- Sherry raisin notes
- Long toffee finish
- But: Bit boring

Sweet, raisiny sherry-cask everyday sipper Pleasant, easy sherry-cask sipper with raisin and toffee. Most call it fine but unexciting, and some catch a hot, additive-tinged mid-palate. Fans use it for punch and mixing.

I use this rum for mixers and it is also great for rum punch :-)
Review by Michael Janek
from the bottle smells pleasantly of some fruit, very intense, it's cherries in chocolate! and the taste is similar I hate chocolate covered cherries, the taste is nice, smooth, very chocolatey
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Slightly better than the normal 24 but still a bit boring...
Review by Sawyer Guthrie
Great dessert sipper. Slightly sweet and a long finish that you could pour and put your feet up to the fire with. Great value
Review by JFehr
Unspektakulär, leider langweilig und etwas süßlich
Review by Anonymous
Smell is good, taste starts decent but has strong mid additive taste before a hot lingering finish.
