This rum, blended from spirit aged between 2 to 8 years in oak casks, is distilled by Industrias Pampero, a distillery in Venezuela. The distillery was founded in 1938, by one Alejandro Hernandez. It is located on Hacienda La Guadalupe, a 19th century farm in Miranda state, on the llanos of Venezuela.

Other expressions include Pampero Especial, Pampero Selección 1938, and Pampero Oro. In addition to these aged rums (añejo), there's also a white rum, Pampero Blanco.
