Pampero Aniversario Reserva Exclusiva

Aroma - I don't even like maple 🍁 syrup but I feel like there's a maple syrup aroma here in the best possible way.
Flavor - deep and wide. I can't even stand how tasty this is. Usually I'm all for ruining a quality run with Coca Cola and crushed ice. Not this one. Sip this neat and order more for your friends.

Edit: found my notes from 4/3/22, when I gave it 5/5.
This rum is a thunderstorm of goodness, with an added aesthetic delight of a beautiful old school label.

Has great molasses notes and a smooth finish. A friend of mine got a bottle for his graduation and it is a definitive later purchase. From one who really enjoys wine, this is one to note and look for later.

Этот ром я попробовал во время визита в Венесуэлу, так как в моей стране его не продают.
Очень яркий богатый вкус и некое шоколадное послевкусие. Я был в прямом смысле очарован этим напитком и до сих пор он остается одним из самых любимых.
Странно, что он оценен всего лишь в 7 баллов на этом сайте. Как по мне - это твердая 10-ка.
Упаковка в стильный замшевый мешок - дополнительный плюс.

Perfectly balanced and not too sweet or too dry. Alcohol doesn’t dominate. Some molasses and very light vanilla with a bit of caramel over hints of smokiness. Really only a neat sipper. Could only be better if you like one or another aspect to be heavy instead of perfectly balanced.

A 8 year age rum, solid with a very complex sensory notes, round and balanced, at sight its deep amber color shows us its long, its intense but deep with complex aroma of wood, vaibilla, caramel, dried fruits and chocolate, is the art of blending, winner 5 times gold medal in San Francisco World Spirits Competition

Vanilla, tobacco, brown sugar, and oak.... this is a perfect Rum for me, it is a grown-up Rum.
The presentation is very nice, one of the best that I have.

My go to rum. It's in short supply right now and I found two bottles this weekend at a store about 45 minutes from home so I'm good for a while. That said I'm thinking of driving another couple of hours up the road to get another bottle or two. It's that good! Smooth tasting, not to sweet or spicy. I call it a grownup rum. If you can get your hands on a bottle do it.

Most pleasant Rum in this category - excellent taste

This one is good by itself. Just ice and that's it. I love drinking this run and eat some good chocolate and cheese in between sips.

One of the best rums from Venezuela. It has a great Flavor with a touch of wood
