Pampero Aniversario Reserva Exclusiva

More bite than expected, but decent stuff. You're first greeted by a sharp alcohol smell, then a sweet aroma, and a large amount of oak. In the end, a great package for an OK rum.

Revisit- Still harsh, more smoke, 6

edited to add sugar test results- 12g

Most prominently in the taste is a leathery and bitter tobacco flavor with a touch of vanilla. This is masterfully balanced out with brown sugar. Although this rum is very refined, I prefer to mix high-end drinks with it, which I personally think makes better use of the bitter taste. So far my favorite drink with this is a classic Mojito.
If you drink it straight up, I find that its character is much improved when you let it rest in the glass for at least 5 minutes.

Neat, with ice or mixed with Coca Cola
It’s a great tasting rum

Hadn't heard of this Venezuelan rum, so I gave it a go. Great presentation. Comes tied up in a leather pouch. Nice mid-amber colour. Burnt sugar and caramelized citrus on the nose. Sweet dates and marzipan on the tongue. Little bit of alcohol when you swish it around. Burnt sugar and ripe fruit going down. Nice mix of flavours but not a huge depth of them. They're all mild. Not much burn going down. Decent price. Mixes well with ginger beer. Will buy again. Probably a 7.5 but it gets an 8 for value.

Può andare bene giusto per qualche shottino o qualche cocktail

light, good taste and smell. a moment of relaxation by the fireplace

Great ratio price/quality and rlly good taste of this drink. 7/10

One step better than Especial version. But still not one I would choose to sipp.

good rum, not too sweet. big boys rum u know w i m saying

This is a nice affordable rum for your bourbon friends. I kinda forgot I poured it for a bit and kept saying "what's that smell" (in a good way). Finally realized it was a heavy whiskey nose coming out of the glass. It's a bit sweet but not unpleasant. Has a lovely molasses and honey note at the start. A surprisingly long finish for a 80 proof. As it finishes I pick up bitter orange peel or maybe key lime peel. Nice. Very surprised how good this is for the price. I'll have to grab a bottle.
