Review by Business Liner Ralf
Addendum: today in the Friendsgiving round on the Tisvj H: unanimous opinion: great rum and perfect bourbon finish. Never drunk before! I am an absolute rum lover. But as a bourbon fan, it's a great tribute to Hemmingway as a rum. My absolute favorite at the moment!
Review by Stefan Persson
Tasted this one at a rum cruise at the Baltic Sea. Nice bottle and story around it. It’s quite sweet, but the 43% ABV makes it balanced. The representative told me it was a blend consisting of rum aged between 4 and 25yo.
Review by Rafael Gonzalez
I guess i just got a sweet tooth.it all comes to personal taste.not sure since im new to this but is there a standard to what a great rum should taste like?anyway i loved the variety of tastes i got from this guy and i honestly enjoyed it.i get some people dont like the sweet in some things but i really liked it
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The taste burns a little on the tongue at first. It's sweet, but not as sweet as the scent. You can taste caramel, cinnamon, dark sugar, vanilla, licorice and a little oak. Medium aftertaste. A good relaxed rum, especially for lovers of sweeter rums. It’s quite smooth and good for casual sipping.

This is really good. Slightly sweet. Great sipper.
Review by Timo Groeger
Day trip Baltrum September 2024. Sturm-Eck pub. Good rum selection for an average pub ;-) This one is too sweet for me. Nose consists of caramel, chocolate and coffee. Then chocolate, vanilla and spices on the palate. Average.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Again, quite thin, alcoholic and quickly gone. Toffifee with a little raisin and banana.... Unimportant, unfortunately.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
The last rum on Baltrum for today. The Papas Pilar from the United States. Already very sweet on the nose and this is also reflected in the taste. Nevertheless, all in all, it is good to drink
Review by Thomas
Bought directly on Key West. There on vacation he tastes better with Bob of course, but a tasty rum without edges. Quite short finish, unfortunately.
Review by Jon Stover
Smells like brown sugar and vanilla. Lighter not overly boosy. Tastes brown sugar vanilla and earth. No spice. Sweet on front end& light/butter. Caramel on back end.
Review by Peter Sjoroos
Better than expected. Not over sweetened and with some nice mix of caramel and spices.

Review by Valeri Karsten
Preis-Leistung stimmt bei diesem Solera-Rum auf jeden Fall. In der Nase sehr vielversprechend, ein tolles Bouquet aus Süße, Vanille, Karamell und Komplexität. Die 43% sind aber sowohl und der Nase als auch später im Geschmack merklich spürbar. im Nachgang vielleicht mehr flüchtig, als man erwarten würde, dennoch sehr empfehlenswert.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"The Cola and Dr Pepper references have been to often and any rum which tastes like a carbonated fruit flavoured soda is going to be very divisive. I just don't get this rum and I doubt many will. It's not unpleasant as such just very, very strange........"Read full review →
