The prolonged contact of the rum with the sherry-soaked wood in the barrel imparts it with unique flavor and depth, making it a fast favorite of rum aficionados who thirst for something out of the ordinary.

What is cooperage in winemaking?

Cooperage is not merely a flavoring component in wine but is also a key player in sculpting a wine via lees contact and oxygenation, even when adding no flavor. Thus, the type and thickness of wood and size of vessel is also quite important.

COCKTAIL
PAPA'S PILAR SHERRY-FINISHED RUM
Papa's Pilar Sherry-Finished Rum is unlike anything Hemingway Rum Company has ever produced before. This dark rum blend is further aged in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks for an extended period of time, creating a distinguished and complex flavor profile of decadent hazelnut, toffee, layered spice and toasted oak.
