KEY WEST, Florida, July 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hemingway Rum
Company, the maker of award-winning ultra-premium Papa's Pilar®
Dark and Blonde rums, began distribution in Sweden, Czech
Republic, Greece and
Denmark early this year and is
actively pursuing expansion opportunities in additional European
markets. The company opened a fulfillment facility in the Netherlands in February to accommodate the
European expansion. Papa's Pilar is inspired by Ernest "Papa"
Hemingway and was crafted in conjunction with Hemingway's estate to
celebrate his literary legacy and adventurous spirit.
"Papa's Pilar, inspired by one of the world's greatest
adventurers and literary figures, Ernest
Hemingway, has been extremely well-received in European
markets since we began distribution earlier this year," said Papa's
Pilar Global Managing Director James

growing rapidly, and we've been ramping up production in the U.S.
to provide those higher-end spirits consumers a uniquely rich and
complex Dark and Blonde sipping rum."

West, Florida – the city Hemingway once called home – where
it operates the Papa's Pilar Distillery and Experience Center just
