"Great activity for Key West! Have been to Key West many times, but this was our first time at the Distillery. Take the tour! It's informative not just on how rum is made, but on the history of Key West and so many local tips. Mo was our guide, he worked hard to inform and entertain us. The rum tasting was good, we took home a bottle!"

“If you have ever tasted Papa’s Pilar rum, this tour is nirvana. The rum named in tribute to Ernest Hemingway and his boat the Pilar, is a fine sipping rum of which you will have an opportunity to sample on the tour. The distillery is housed in an old brick tobacco warehouse with lots of character. The retail store has plenty of temptations and know a good portion of the proceeds are donated by the Hemingway Family to charities focused on conservation. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would definitely go again upon our return to Key West.”

"I was already a fan of Papa's Pilar Rum so while I was in Key West on vacation I wanted to visit the distillery. What a fun time! Our guide was Mo. Not only was he very informative regarding the process of making rum and Hemingway, he was also VERY entertaining!!!! Our group had a great time! Highly recommend!”
