Not only is this RUM incredibly delicious! It is ultra smooth. Beautiful in color and presentation (bottle). But why it deserves a 10 is the price point!!! I dare you to find ANY RUM as smooth, tasty, and refined under $40??? Sure there are worthy contenders. But none that are as overall palatable as this fine gem from Guatemala! I have about 10 absolute favorites and this is in my Top 5 easily! It is not as complex as say Don Pancho 18yr Reserva Especial or my absolute favorite: Plantation XO 20, but again, for the money, there is none better!

It's a very good rum, with balanced flavors and smooth

Agreable au nez, le gout est encore au dessus ! Des arômes prononcés de caramel et de vanille, les futs de cognac ont donnés un gout très doux et légèrement sucré

I also had a long-term liking for this rum. It is a mixture of 6 - 15-year-old rums from Guatemala, aged for the last 6 months in France in cognac barrels.

Bottle: It looks very luxurious and I would not guess that it is rum at a price of around 40 Euros. Thumbs up for this.
Color: Medium amber, almost gold.
Aroma: Slightly sweet and pleasant without pungent alcohol. I could smell vanilla, honey, ripe fruit (especially peaches), raisins, cloves, cocoa and fine smoke.
Taste: Very delicate and absolutely delicious. The sweetness is very balanced (neither little nor much). The taste is vanilla, raisins, honey, chocolate, cognac tones and slightly oak wood.
Aftertaste: Medium to long. It burns slightly, but it's not unpleasant at all, quite the opposite.

A clear candidate for a bottle (for that price)!

Overall rating: 9+ / 10

The El Pasador XO is a fantastic rum. A few people here described it perfectly. Produced in Guatemala and finished in France, this rum is of an outstanding quality with a wonderful smoothness. No disturbing burning alcoholic notes. Nice bottle and a fantastic price (39€). A clear winner.

el pasador de oro XO is a plasant spirit, but has an almost too-refined impression. vanilla and toasted almond predominate, without much additional complexity; the mouthfeel is slightly thick and coating. very smooth and not "boozy" at all. makes one think of ice cream and coffee.

I know a great number of rum aficionados have tasted true "top shelf" rums that cost what I paid for my last car, but given my limited budget, $50 - 70 is about as top shelf as I'll get. This was a recommendation from a clerk at total wines and more, and far out stretched his praise. This is a beautiful sipping rum with wonderful molasses, caramel and vanilla finish. The mouthfeel is just a tad thin, but not overly so. I goes down smoothly with just a hint of burn. My favorite rum is Ron Cartavio, but I can only get it in CA. This ALMOST as good. The only thing Ron Cartavio excels in is mouthfeel. It brings a little more body. But, this rum at $20 cheaper and being available locally is a winner.

This is a really great rum at a price that won’t break the bank. I’d rank it about 8.5 if I could. The body is light. One the nose a little alcohol and I get some plum. The taste is ripe fruit, and a hint of burnt sugar. Going down there is little burn and some residual sugars. A hint of something like graham cracker as well. It is a pleasant rum that will impress anyone who is not familiar with sipping rums.

Un rhum doux mais pas trop, des goûts complexe, délicieux et surprenant, le savoir faire des charentais dans toutes sa splendeur...

Cognac aging is nice, and this is very good - smooth, sweet. But Zacapa is a bit better

Wow, for the price this is 3 thumbs up! Found this for $37 USD, and it is extremely smooth with a bit of spice at the end. Almost mouthwatering. There is a hint of caramel but not too sweet. Easy drinker. Definitely will be my go to
