The Heart of Pampero: Pampero Especial Rum

Introduction

Pampero™ Rum was born in Caracus, Venezuela in 1930, when Alejandro Hernández and Luis Toro changed the history of Venezuelan Rum forever. As entrepreneurs, they realized that the combination of available ingredients and the exceptional geographical and climatic characteristics would be the perfect combination to make a rum like no other.

A Pioneering Spirit

Alejandro Hernández and Luis Toro were true innovators, defining new ways of making spirits and setting the standard for aged rum in Venezuela, with a maturation process of 2 years. Aging the rum in barrels and utilising the heat and humidity of the the local area resulted in an unmistakable flavour, exceptional depth and smooth complexity which is now recognised the world over. 

The Pampero Process

Pampero™ Rum start by using only the finest sugar cane, which is mashed to extract the juice and then boiled and centrifuged to form the molasses, Yeast and water are added to start the fermentation process before the alcohol is triple distilled and aged in white oak barrels.

Unique Blending

Pampero™ stand apart from most rums, using a mix of rum styles, ages and types in their blends. Each varriant is blended differently, and have an overall roundness of aroma and taste, which is palatable and consistent.

The locals call it 'Caballito Frenao' (rearing horse) which refers to the local and iconic Llanero, a Venezuelan Cowboy and symbol of freedom.
