El Pasador de Oro Gran Reserva rum

El Pasador de Oro Gran Reserva

France | Aged | 40% ABV

The rum is a product of Les Bienheureux S.A.S. (in Paris France) and is a blend of several ‘grand reserva’ Guatemala rums with an initial long aging period of 10 to 18 years in several types of casks.  The casks are then imported into the Charente, in the cellars of the French company Les Bienheureux where the spirit is rested in used cognac barrels for a further 6 months.

This is a hidden gem IMO. Smooth Delicious. Flavorful. Character. Fruits. Nuts. Mild spice. Very enjoyable. But what truly sets this apart is the excellent value for the money. My TOP 5 Best Rums under $100! 🥃

Nose of brown sugar and oranges - quite pleasant. Oddly it doesn’t carry through to the taste much, which is really nice and buttery smooth. Great balance of sweet and dry. Upfront hit of vanilla and spice, with the spice carrying through but the vanilla leaving quickly. Woodsy finish with a hint of leather.

There’s a lot to like. It’s not in my top 10 but close. The finish maybe leaves me wanting more, it’s a little tart for my liking. But for most this is a great rum.

Didn't know what to expect, but it has tons of flavour. Almost feels like an overproof. It's very well balanced, nice and sweet, a little spicy. A deserved 8 from me.

Ce pasador est une petite douceur. Un nez très vanille, frais et boisé et légèrement exotique. l'attaque est sucrée et grasse et la fin est assez longue et gourmande. Un vrai bob rhum a ne partager quentre amateurs

Smooth, rich, tempered bite that goes down way too easy.

Rum aged for a minimum of 10 years, including 6 months in Cognac. Well balanced, flavorful, with aromas of cinnamon and cocoa.

Nose: sweet citrus, slightly orange and a little pear, vanilla and banana. The alcohol has a light touch. Taste is oranges, coconuts, undertones of vanilla and bananas a little copper, and a touch of straw for a dry finish that lingers. It is medium to light bodied, but not watery. It is gentle and flavorful. It is sweet, but it does not taste artificial. I can imagine it would mix well in most rum recipes, but I cannot think of any reason not to drink it neat instead. It is the end of a long day or a little something before or after dinner. It wants to be sipped slowly, because it becomes bitter if you rush it. This gets a 9 for versatility and for being good. It is not quite great. It lacks some of the boldness I would expect in a great rum, but it is very companionable; and unlike "great", it is a rum that is nice to have around anytime, and not just special occasions.

Good Sipping Rum and at a great price ($45-50). When comparing costs it’s not as good as Zafra 21 but more on par but slightly below Zacapa 23 and Flor de Caña 18. May need to let it breathe a bit but below is what I got upon opening.

Nose: initial medium intensity Alcohol burn, sweet smell of vanilla, molasses and candied plum, hint of cherry tart
Palate: Smooth, slight burn, thin on palate, slightly peppery and sweet. hint of Vanilla.
Finish: not a complex as I had hoped but it is smooth and not overly sweet. some lingering sweetness like aspartame that I get with blended dark spirits. Black pepper recedes quickly.

Lovely presentation , I do like a good big stopper. As mentioned on this thread its no Plantation XO which it definitely reminds me of. I do like the cognac notes , its the highlight for me. More of a burn in the mouth than I expected. Overall a pleasant enough sipper , better with an ice cube. Vanilla , toffee and spice dominate then the long cognac finish. Drinking slowly as not available in Australia.

Surprised at how light it looks. Taste is smooth and easy to drink. Nice finish. Adding to my top 10.
