Papas Pilar Marquesas Blend

I came across this bottle at a Total Wine & Beverage. The person working there said that it was exclusively made for that chain of liquor stores here in the U.S.. there is a tag attached to the bottle that says special release and finished and aged in #4 Char Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Barrels. Very nice offering from Papas. I like it better than the 24 dark they offer. Smoother and better tasting. Still has a lot of molasses in the flavor. If it truly is a limited run I think I’ll buy another.

Good sipping rum. Maple notes with a weekday finish. Enjoy like a whiskey over a large ice ball.

This is a fantastic choice for sipping. It’s slightly on the strong side (88 proof), but a little ice will bring out some very nice maple syrup flavors. I still have a lot of bottles in my wish list, but so far for me this beats anything under $100.
