Papa's Pilar - Ernest Hemingway's adventurous rum!
We are very honoured to announce that we have become a distributor of Papa's Pilar rums! If the name is familiar to you, you will associate it with the world famous writer Ernest Hemingway.
Why? Ernest Hemingway - also known as Papa (his nickname) - was a man of many things. He was a writer, a free thinker, an adventurer, an athlete, a fisherman, and a rambunctious man. He constantly traveled from one port to another, collecting stories, each more epic than the last. Papa's Pilar, aptly named after his father and his boat Pilar himself, was created to tap into this mindset. It's an homage to Hemingway's adventures and an inspiration for your own.
Papa's Pilar Rum is a true collaboration with the Hemingway family. Together, the Hemingway family & Papa's Pilar Rum have contributed millions of dollars to communities that support literacy, environmental conservation, reef restoration, and other worthy initiatives that Hemingway himself would be proud of.
The distillery is based in Key West, Florida. The brand believes in preserving what matters. They are committed to sustainable practices in production and ethical fishing. In true Hemingway spirit, Papa's Pilar partners with local and national charitable foundations that support ocean conservation and preservation.
