Totally agree with the review. I discovered this rum 07 in Pamplona as a gift from my in-laws. Absolutely love the taste straight on rocks. I now get 2 bottles a year delivered from Spain since its not for sale in Oz. For Oz lovers: Cost in Spain was 22 euros and I’ve seen it for sale on net for AUD110, crazy! Although, Dan Murphy has a younger version for sale, not sure about the taste.

This is my fave rum. Of all the sipping rums, this one I would welcome as a constant companion–with a good heart. Not one other has measured up to this one, for me.

Totally agree that there’s nothing wrong with simple. There are times when I want simple, and there are times when I want something more substantive. Sometimes I want a funky Jamaican, sometimes I want a nice and clean Bajan.

There is a problem in being an Epicure. Ya lift your leg to fart and then instead of excusing yourself, you immediately ‘pontificate’ it ‘appears to have a ‘Woodsy nose with a hint of leather and cocoa’.

THIS IS NOT SWILL; IT’S SWIRL!!! The Ron Pomporo is a fine ‘SIPPING RHUM” that one pours into a balloon snifter and swirls. This is not a “Plantation Rhum” that one gives a Viking Funeral to by throwing it overboard into a sea of Coca Cola!!!

Finally, Simple isn’t necessarily a bad thing. My Miata is a SIMPLE Roadster which is fun to drive, easy to repair and sips gas. Now compair that to the BMW roadster which is OK to drive, COMPLEX to work on and chugs gasoline like, well, a Rhummy!!! The Pomporo is Simple, Smooth and makes yer lungs GLOW. Now compair that with the Depaz Blue Cane Rhum Agricole which is SO COMPLEX as to be undrinkable (It is so aciditic as to make yer tongue curl, it burns like a Habanero Chili Pepper going down yer throat and the aftertaste makes you think someone used yer glass to clean their paint brushes in).

I’ll stack this rhum against any sub $100.00 rhum you care to name!!!

hey, just thought i’d google this rum, i bought a bottle for my dad while i was in Venezuela in 1996. it is still sitting in the dark recesses of his cupboard as none of us are rum drinkers (well not dark rum anyway).

We are doing a clean out and i thought there maybe a site somewhere that i could sell it on?

We tasted this while on a cruise that stopped in Caracas, Venezuela! Fantastic rum! First bottle went down so fast, now we just bring it out for special occasions. It was our travel gifts to many friends and family when we returned home.

Has anyone tried it the “El Ritual” way ? A shot with some ground coffee, some sugar and a lime wedge; best way to enjoy it in my opinion.

When I was working, colleagues from Ven. would give me a bottle of this and when they visited me in the U.S. they would bring a bottle. I wasn’t familiar with rums at the time but I new I loved it from the first taste and savored it each time. Now to find it in the U.S.
