Pampero Añejo Especial Rum (700mL)

One of the most awarded Rums in the world.

The House of Pampero was founded in 1938 in Caracas, Venezuela by Torro and Alejandro Hernandez, the sons of a fisherman from Isla de Margarita. Back in the day, you could distill Spirits one day and sell it the next as Rum in most Caribbean countries. The Pampero guys never believed that was good enough and set what later became an official standard for Venezuelan Rum to be aged for at least 2 years. Since those early days, Pampero Rum has become an icon and the locals don’t even order it by name anymore – they simply say “Caballito Frenado”. Literally meaning “rearing horse”, a reference to the Llanero a.k.a. Venezuelan Cowboy you can spot on the label. So, the next time you’re in a Venezuelan bar, you know what to ask for.

Pampero Añejo Especial Rum is a unique blend of the finest Rums from their Exclusive Reserve. Triple-distilled and aged exclusively in ex-Bourbon casks, this is one of the most awarded Rums in the World. It’s insanely rich and powerful with an abundance of flavors of vanilla, Sherry, raisin, cinnamon, chocolate, and tobacco. We’d probably enjoy this one neat or on the rocks on a night when we want to really treat ourselves. But we do have to say, it makes for an incredible Rum-based Old Fashioned, too.
