Papa's Pilar Blonde Rum
1st ever Blonde Rum
$32.99
Papa’s Pilar Blonde is the first ever “Blonde” Rum, similar in color to the light rums Papa Hemingway enjoyed in Key West and Cuba during the 30’s. Tasting notes of bright citrus, almond, fresh apricot and fine butterscotch make this a perfect rum for your Hemingway Daiquiri, boat drink or tiki cocktail. This exceptionally smooth blend represents the original spirit of rum.

Enjoyed them all but go through Blonde 2 to 1
First I urge you to get the sampler for that time with friends when all can compare. Second, have the one or two of the full bottles available for follow through. We go through 2 bottles of blond for every single bottle of the other excellent rums. Like them all but what can I say? The Blond is the favorite straight or mixed. Its two to one for what we drink.

Great Rum, reasonable price, shipping was quick and easy.
Fell in love with this rum at first taste in Key West. Brought back a couple bottles and quickly determined that wasn't going to make it long. Ordered 6 bottles. Shipping was free at 3. It was delivered within a week and safely packaged. Looking forward to starting another bottle soon...


Awesome !

Blonde Rum Purchase
Everything was outstanding with this order from placing it to receiving it. And once received this is one of the best tasting rums I have ever tried. If you enjoy rum, I highly recommend this one

Love Pilar rum
Love this rum. I give several away at Christmas every year. Unfortunately it is not available here in NC, so I have to order it several times per year. We will be coming back to KW in Sept., look forward to coming to your tasting room.

Papa's Pilar Blonde Rum
My overall experience was great! Me and my girlfriend wanted to make some cocktails, and it was only proper to use the ones listed on the website. We decided on the Key West Rickey, which was the perfect, refreshing drink as we sat out enjoying an evening on the lake.

For most of my life I was a bourbon guy - until I met this blonde! This rum is smooth and mellow and goes down easy all by itself. The shipping and service from Cask and Barrel is fantastic. The Dark Rum and the Sherry Cask finish are just fantastic. If you're looking for a rum that does equally well in mixed drinks and just plain sipping, this is the one! Oh yeah, the bottles are an excellent design as well!

First time
I visited the first part of the year and always like to keep my experience local. Well this one I have to be able to take home. Your rum has the perfect balance and I love it so much. The sweet smooth finish is one of a kind. Very good stuff. Will be a regular from here in out. They package their products very good for travel and it came in a timely manner. Thanks guys and hope to see y’all soon.
