Papas Pilar 24 Spanish Sherry Cask Finished

Beautiful rum: smells of vanilla, caramel, some dark fruit. Tastes amazing... the sherry gives this rum a kick of extra sweetness with a long finish. Just perfect.

Good rum with nice flavors but still on the sweeter side. Some layers of flavors and a nice finish.

Far more intense than its brethren. Brown sugar and nougat nose. Spicy mouth and finish. Very enjoyable!!! Recommend!

Brown sugar, vanilla with a nice sherry finish.
Another great one from Papas Pilar !

I got all three dark rums from Pilar to try them side by side. I had tried two of the three previously. They're all exceptional. The Sherry finished rum is the darkest of the three.

Whether you believe the backstory on this spirit or not, this one is quite the surprise. A nice nose and sweet pallet. Finishes with a smooth oak and caramel with a hint of apricot. I would recommend this to anyone who prefers matured complex rums neat or on the rocks. Too good to use for a mixer.

I expected this to be the best of the Papa's Pilar rums. But I just slightly prefer their Dark Rum. Interestingly, their dark rum bottle also says "Finished in Spanish Sherry Casks", so I'm not sure if there's much of a difference.

They're both very similar, but I'd say the Dark just tastes a little smoother to me. This smells and tastes of vanilla, maple, almond, cinnamon, and a touch of sherry. But since the dark seemed a tad smoother, I slightly prefer that one.

Recommended by a friend, I couldn't wait to try it. Poured neat, it had a slightly sweet aroma with a hint of almond. The first sip is very smooth, with just a little warmth and the sweetness of the sherry coming through. It's not syrupy sweet. I liked the hint of sweetness. I added an ice cube, and it really brought out some of the flavors. More oak and spice, and just a little more of that almond-like sweetness. A good sipper, for sure.

Say what you want about how it’s a blend, but the sherry finish on this one makes it the best of their portfolio. The sherry finish influence leads to lots of cherry fruit notes on top of their dark blend rum, which has plenty of chocolate and caramel characteristics. Imagine a chocolate covered cherry, dipped in caramel….but it’s rum. And it’s delicious

Aroma - Fresh sugar cookie followed by a hint of raisin.

Taste - Cinnamon sugar toast followed by slight barrel spice.

This rum is definitely better than their regular dark offering. However, that does not make it good. It still has a very obvious artificial quality to it and the flavor brings that out. It is overly sweet with a poor finish. Only recommend to someone who doesn't like rum because this is a sugar bomb.
