Pampero Aniversario Reserva Exclusiva

I like this rum as part of Venezuelan heritage. A bit strong on favors compared to others "reservas" in the market but with a smooth body.
Try with dry orange and a bit of ice and the fruity flavor will kick in.

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. ++++++++
