Ron Pampero Aniversario Rum

The most esteemed Venezuelan Rum.

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.

Created for their 25th anniversary, Pampero Aniversario Rum is crafted from their ‘Exclusive Reserve’, which holds their rarest and most complex Rums that were aged in ex-Sherry and ex-Bourbon barrels. Today, over 50 years after it was created, this iconic Rum garnered more Gold and Double Gold medals at the esteemed San Francisco World Spirits Competition than any other Venezuelan Rum. The rich flavors of wood, Sherry, vanilla, caramel, dried fruits, and cocoa on the complex palate were designed to be savored neat or on the rocks, but mixing this beauty into your favorite cocktail obviously won’t leave you disappointed, either.
