Ernest by Papa's Pilar: Partner Reserve
XO Double-Finished in Cognac and Armagnac Casks
$599.99
Ernest is a harmonious blend of hand-selected rums, expertly crafted with the utmost precision and masterly blended by 7th Generation Master Distiller, Ron Call. He meticulously selected the finest rums from South and Central America to create one, exquisite blend.
After the initial aging process, it undergoes a unique double-finishing technique that sets it apart from the rest: first, in new, 36-month air-dried staves in heavy toasted American white oak barrels, imparting rich and robust flavors. It is then double-finished in both Cognac casks and Armagnac casks.
Ernest is an exceptionally rare release in the world of rum and is destined to become a cherished addition to any discerning rum collector’s cabinet.
