El Pasador de Oro XO

This is an excellent rum with a nose of brown sugar and a taste of vanilla and nuts.

My thoughtful tattoo client gave me this as a tip! I let him try Diplimatico RE and he asked at Total Wine for something similar and the clerk suggested this, he was correct! I nice sipper on the sweet side but not so much as Diplomatico, with a bit more complexity. I taste caramel,licorice, oak, fruit, vanilla...my top sipper is El Dorado 12 and Diplomatico with this right up there.

On first sniff it is like a Cognac and you can very much tell it was finished aging in a Cognac cask. A very lovely flavor of caramel with a hint of baking spice and citrus. A nice add to any collection.

This dark amber rum is a very pleasant surprise; when i tasted it, i could smell cinnamon, fruit, cocoa and a little sweetness; its flavor is very good and balanced, with notes of cocoa and spices.

Este ron de color ámbar oscuro, es una muy grata sorpresa; cuando lo probé pude sentir aromas de canela, frutas, cacao y un poco de dulzor; su sabor es muy bueno y equilibrado, con notas de cacao y especias.

Nice rum, had a good time sipping it at the lake cabin.

Guatemalan Rum with a rich copper/bronze colour in the glass, very appealing. Thick , tasty. The nose above the glass bring oak spice, dark tobacco, and rich baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and vanilla). There are hints of licorice and raisins in the air as well as chocolate.
As the glass breathes, some fruity oranges. The empty glass is full the lingering smells of rich oak and baking spices, dark bittersweet chocolate and broken walnuts.
The rum features a light caramel sweetness which runs through the sipping experience. The mouthfeel is creamy with fine oak spice unraveling from the sweetness and heating my palate. Orange marmalade, caramel toffee, oak and baking spices (vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg) are all melded together into a very nice rum which is easy to sip and tasty.
El Pasador de Oro XO is an excellent sipping rum.

Very subtle citrus tones on the nose. Somewhere between oranges and apricots. Very sweet tongue, carries a subtle spice, but boldly displays tones of caramel and vanilla. Powerful sweetness masks a risidually bitter undertone. Compliments itself wonderfully.

Dollar for dollar one of the best rums around. Sip this beauty.

Nez coté caramel, texture moelleuse, goût épicé avec une belle longueur

Un de mes rhums préférés. Beaucoup de finesse. De légères notes boisées et vanillées avec une belle longueur en bouche. Un excellent rapport qualité / prix

Robe foncé. Rhum assez léger avec un nez sur les épices et le bonbon. Sur le fruit, banane, caramel et le sirop.

For years I have been a fan of another rum until I was given a bottle of this as a birthday gift. I savor this neat. Smooth, sweet no alcohol burn. I finished it and went and bought another. At around $40US you can't beat the value. It is now a mainstay of my shelf.

Very tasty sipping rum, smooth, sweet with a nice finish.

Incredible rum. Amazing flavour and character. Cognac barrels adds an excellent smoothness.

Une jolie carafe pour ce rhum vieilli dans la région de cognac. Un rhum complexe vieilli en fut de cognac. En bouche, il est assez doux avec un gout de fruits compotés et un léger boisé. Ce n'est pas archi complexe, mais c'est efficace. Un produit très bien élaboré pour environ 45 euros.

För tillfället en av mina absoluta favoriter. Fruktansvärt mjuk och len.

El Pasador de Oro Rum sells for $69 CAD in my area (SAQ). While I knew practically nothing about this Rum at the time of purchase, the presentation and packaging were too attractive to pass up. This mahogany coloured Rum is extremely smooth and leaves no burn whatsoever. My only criticism would be the sweetness level of the rum which at 16 gsl is much sweeter than my own preference. Nevertheless this is a great Rum, specially if you tend to like sweeter Rums.

Smager skønnt med søde udviklende noter af vanilje, karamel og lidt fad

Really good final, spicy and a lot of complexity. The alcool is there but hide by the smoothness and the spicy touch at the end. Better if u let it breathe a bit. Honey and a little bit of cinnamon. Not to sweet, I love it.

Great looking bottle, good and tasty Rum... sin duda lo volvería a compra.

Ce rhum est superbe.la bouteille est superbe .le rhum est sur la canelle le caramel et plus puissant qu unn zacapa 23 et un peu plus complexe.il reste tres doux.un rapport qualite prix top pour 45 euros c superbe.il est juste en dessous d un centenario 20 ans qui a un tout petit plus.mais c est proche.
Ce rhum de melasse est a avoir pour les amateurs.le grande reserve a un peu plus de gout mais un peu moins sucre note 8.9.

Ce rhum est un assemblage de rhum XO (entre 8 et 15 ans) de trois distilleries du Guatemala, avec la particularité d’avoir un affinage dans des fûts de Cognac en France. Le résultat est bon même si je lui reproche juste un manque de puissance et une dominance du caramel. C’est un rhum très doux en bouche, sans être trop sucré, et qui descend tout seul dans la gorge. Le final est également intéressant sur la longueur. Pour moins de 50 euros il dépasse largement les autres rhums qui sont dans la même catégorie (Guatemala: on pense forcement Zacapa 15 et 23).
This rum is a blent of XO (6 years minimum) from three distilleries of Guatemala, with the particularity of having a finish in Cognac barrels in France. The result is good even if it lacks strengh. It is a sweet rum in the mouth, without being too sweet, and it goes down easily in the throat. The aftertaste is also interesting on the time. For less than 50 euros it's way better than the other rums that are in the same category (Guatemala: we think Zacapa 15 and 23).
