Pampero Rum

The name means 'pampered' in Spanish, and Pampero fully lives up to that promise. The rum was created in Caracas in 1938 by Alejandro Hernandez and Luis Toro and draws on the legend of the 'llanero', the Venezuelan cowboy whose free, adventurous spirit still graces the label. Today Pampero isn't just a rum, but a symbol of Venezuela's proud, untamed national character.

  • Dark bottle in leather pouch with gold lettering, Pampero Aniversario
    Item no.: 22227865407-6

    Where Blanco and Especial are the house's everyday rums, Aniversario is the one Pampero celebrates with, complete with its signature leather pouch.

    Expert description

    Pampero Aniversario is a Ron Extra Añejo, a blend of rums matured 4-6 years, bottled at 40%.

    The rum comes from Industrias Pampero, founded in Caracas in 1938 and today part of the Italian spirits company Gruppo Montenegro. Aniversario is the house's prestige release, matured in whisky and bourbon casks, giving a concentrated, rich flavour with a pronounced cocoa and tobacco character. The rum is traditionally sold in a distinctive leather pouch that has been part of Pampero's identity for decades.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Full and rich with dominant cocoa and a hint of vanilla, plus butter biscuit, dried tropical fruits, toasted oak, orange peel, dark honey and a touch of roasted almonds.

    Palate

    Cocoa hits first, followed by vanilla, leather and a light woodiness from the casks, with dark chocolate, tobacco, caramel and roasted coffee.

    Finish

    Extraordinarily long and warming with traces of molasses, cinnamon and a gentle oakiness.

  • Clear bottle with red label and Pampero wind motif, Blanco
    Item no.: 22227865407-10

    Pampero is named after the powerful wind that sweeps across the Venezuelan plains, and the Blanco expression carries some of that same light, fresh energy.

    Expert description

    Pampero Blanco is a Ron Anejo matured up to 4 years and bottled at 37.5%.
