Pampero Aniversario was first crafted in 1963 to commemorate the Pampero company’s 25th anniversary. The rum is a blend of rums ranging in maturity from four to six years and aged in whisky and bourbon barrels.
The Pampero distillery was founded by Alejandro Hernández of Venezuela in 1938. The brand is now a division of the world’s largest liquor holding company, Diageo.

Given to me by the widow of a collector friend. There will be many more reviews, sadly, that begin this way. But on to the rum. Caramel toffee, and dry. An excellent sipper. This is an old bottle (check label). The cork stopper split upon opening. Actually, I had to decant it.
Sweet and smooth, a little bit of caramel and oak. Very aromatic. It looks great in a squat bottle and a leather pouch.

Me ha parecido un Ron que se deja beber muy bien. No tan fino como otros rones del país, aunque ese toque alcohólico para mí suma en vez de restar. Un olor maravilloso. Me parece un producto de buena calidad.

Sweet smell of vanilla and oak, beautiful dark amber colour. First taste is great - dark and sweet, then comes a short pause of something bitter, smoky and almost tar-y before the slightly port-like lingering sweet aftertaste. Best 20$ rum I've had.
Purchased in the Canaries for only 18euros, not too sweet, good zipping rum and very nice leather pouche that comes with it. It comes close to the Diplomatico reserca ex but you pay a lot less...

One of the original fancy rums before rum became fancy in Venezuela, well balanced flavor great in a cuba libre and still great to sip, nice presentation with the leather pouch.
It's fine to sip it neat, but it really opens up and shines on the rocks. Nice leather pouch makes for a nice gift. One of the best rums I had, would definitely buy again.
Δαμάσκηνο, καμένη καραμέλα και σοκολάτα. Ένα πολύ νόστιμο ρούμι με ήπια γλυκύτητα και υπέροχο χρώμα που, όμως, δεν έχει μεγάλη επίγευση.

Taste seams like a little bit from cognac. ++++++++
One of the first rums I enjoyed. It's not to sweet and tastes slightly as tobacco in a good way. Boring in the length and not something I'm gonna buy again, but it's great for beginners

A bit confusing, in a nice way.

Like many, the packaging caught my eye first.
My first taste was in an "old fashioned" glass... all that was available where I was staying. Noted the strong alcohol taste commented on elsewhere, but also a tendency towards dryness [yes, in a sugarcane-based product...]
Ended up pouring some [after I got home] into a small snifter and, as it happens, got called away for more than half an hour.
Here's the interesting part... having a sip after that period of time, I found that the breathing/aeration helped change the flavor profile, and improved smoothness a lot. A full-bodied rum, with "great legs" on the snifter glass.
So my initial tasting would have resulted in a 6/10.
This one made me raise the rating to a high 8 - hence the nine.
Bottom line: Whether trying it for the first time or revisiting it, pour it into a snifter and give it time to breath - your patience should be well rewarded.
