Hint af både vanille og appelsin, hvor især det første dominerer

Caramel aroma, plain body and almost no tail. First 2 sips were bigger expectations.

Ok weer een fijne zachte rum, beetje een zoetje, caramel achtig. Met een zachte afdronk. Lekker nagerijpt op Cognac vat.

Beverage Testing Institute rating of 93 and 4.6 stars from customers of Total Wine and Spirits got my attention. For $40 it's a decent sipping rum and a good value.

First time to try. Soft and mellow. No burn. Pleasant aroma. This is a good one.

This molasses-based Guatemalan rum marries a selection of aged spirits, and the blend is finished in Cognac casks in the cellars of Les Bienheureux in Charente, France, for 6 months. Expect oodles of chocolate and fruit.

Passador De Oro is an excellent Ron.
It’s sweet, very tasty and easy to drink.
The nose is very fragrant, you can smell caramel, vanilla and toasted wood.
Mouth: caramel, wood and a hint of vanilla.
The palate is sweet and rather long.
The finish is a bit short but very pleasant.
It’s a very good Ron that I recommend. Perfect sipping Ron.
The price remains affordable for a bottle of this kind. For me it easily surpasses the Zacapa 23 and the Millionario 15 years.

Light on the nose . Light amber color. Taste of burnt sugar, vanilla, and toffee. Very easy sipper. A lighter zacappa. Highly recommend.

A un bon gout mais je le trouve que la fin dans la bouche il est plutôt fort.
Manque de finesse pour un XO.

According to various internet sources this is a blend of various Guatemalan rums aged anywhere from 6 to 15 years in oak barrels then are aged some more (cannot determine the time frame) in Cognac casks in France.
An interesting backstory.
However not much information given on the rather plain label.
Let's continue...
The hue of the rum is a rich dark amber...a brownish amber. Dark caramel perhaps. It has a very appealing odor (again, my weak point since I am unable to distinguish odors well...I just say it's a nice odor or not).
Nice legs as I swirl it in my snifter.
The flavor is quite intriguing. Definitely a smooth sipping rum. A little oiliness causes it to stick to the tongue well allowing the flavors to settle. It has some pepperiness to it but does not have much of a tannin bitterness although the oak notes are clearly present albeit subtle. A nice caramel and vanilla undertones. No real burn. Instead there is a nice warmth that builds for a bit in the back of the throat and then fades ever so slowly. If the info I found is true and the rum is finished in France in Cognac casks then I understand why it has this subtle sweetness that almost borders on sugaring but plausibly isn't.
Clearly a sipping rum with a nice complexity to it. Excellent rum for the price IF you can find it.
