Pampero Seleccion 1938 Ron Anejo Venezuela Rum 40%

1938 is the year Pampero was founded, and Seleccion 1938 is the house's way of marking that milestone without going all the way to the Aniversario tier.

Expert description

Pampero Seleccion 1938 is a Ron Anejo matured around 5-6 years and bottled at 40%.

The rum comes from Industrias Pampero, founded in Caracas in 1938 and today part of the Italian spirits company Gruppo Montenegro. Seleccion 1938 is named after the founding year and matures in oak casks that previously held bourbon whisky, giving a round, balanced rum with an amber colour and a profile that sits between the house's lighter Especial and the more prestigious Aniversario.
