Ron Pampero Aniversario Rum

An okish rum for the price, although my rum in this price would be Appelton, or Flor de canna, its certainly not 5*, we will keep that for caroni and Luxus.
2.5/5

Absolutely lovely, couldn’t put it down.

Fantastic rum. I like sipping rums - this one is not too sweet, but smooth. It's also complex, lot's of nice flavours... and it came in a leather pouch!

N: Brown Sugar, vanilla
P: Caramel, sweet Clementines
F: Caramel and a touch of Chocolate.

Does the Job.

A decent smooth Rum as one would expect around the £40 mark and not pretentious like some others at this price range (gold of Mauritius) - Is it the best rum like someone stated below?, well, no, there is no 'best' rum, well apart from Caroni I suppose ;-)

A superbly smooth moorish rum . Just not enough in a bottle. Rich vanilla spice and cream amazing length and complexity. One of the very best rums you will ever taste!

A Delicious rich Dark rum . Amazing aroma when sipped from a large red wine glass.
Complex pallet of coco and spice. Super smooth and o so drinkable straight or with a couple of drops of cold water to open it up.

This rum is amazing it should be more widely available in America. The blend of flavors is unlike any other rum I have tried.

I currently have ~12 rums in my collection, including several at twice the price but this is the sipping rum I reach for more than any other. For a sipping rum I want depth, complexity, character and a good hit of alcohol and Pampero Aniversario delivers. Rich, fruity, full-bodied flavour with lots of dates, raisins and figs - it tastes like it looks. I appreciate smoothness but in a rum I want that alcohol hit too and this has a gentle burn on the way down (though easily tempered with a little ice). I'd put this in the same general company as Appleton 12y and R L Seale's 10y but for my money this is the clear winner. Everyone's bar has a handful of brand's they replace as soon as they run out - this is my dark rum. Five stars.

I really like this rum outta alot I've hoarded over the years, I've heard quality issues depending on batch but the two I've tried have both been excellent and a real treat. Has a nice touch with the leather pouch it comes in aswel and always get remarks from the untrained eye
