apart from the spirit, the distinctive bottle is also worthy of a mention: it takes on the form that reminiscent of the WWII canteen and featuring an etched compass closure, a symbol of adventure on land and sea, and a chain link to keep it close to the bottle at all time, no matter where you might bring them to. the Papa’s Pilar Super Premium Rum is available now in 750 ml bottle in both on- and off-premise accounts in several states including Northern California, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas and Washington, D.C. it carries a SRP of $39.99 and $29.99 for the Dark and Blonde, respectively.
