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
Gedanken einer Anfängerin:
Schöne Flasche, schöne Farbe
Wenn der Rum etwas atmen kann kommen feine fruchtige Aromen (sonst sticht er mir nur „spritig“ in die Nase).
Anfangs mild, leichte angenehme Süße und gefühlt etwas Karamell. Dann kommt die Würze. Bis dahin ganz toll, aber leider dann für mich im Nachhall eine unangenehme, ausdauernde Spiritusnote...
Nicht mein Favorit, aber vielleicht auch einfach für Anfänger*innen ungeeignet.

My five boys & I tried both Pasador XO and the Gran Reserva simultaneously. The Gran Reserva won the night but Gran Reserva at $45 vs. XO at $37 allows for a good “value” argument to be made in favor of XO. Both Guatemalan rums are “Buys” but the price conscious will have an excellent tasting evening at the lower price point.

Au nez, parfum de fruits, de chêne brûlé, de chocolat et de vanille.
En bouche, sucré, fruits mûrs intenses, caramel, chocolat, vanille et un peu de bois brûlé.
La finale est d’une belle longueur.

Shared this bottle with my friend and it didn’t make it through the night. Easy drinker on ice.

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.
