Guatemalan rum with a French connection

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.

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).

Excellent Rum, Great looking bottle and from the nose to the finish it is very smooth. No idea how old it is but it definitely has some wood and a hint of sweetness. Good N Tasty Rhum...

Bon rhum ce déguste bien sur glace, mais je trouve un arrière goût de sucre trop prononcer à mon goût à moi. C'est quand même un bon rapport qualité prix.
