It's standard sweet side premium rum, nice for dessert and for dipping with sine ice. Similar to Zacappa
After several bottles of aged rums, I came across El Pasador de Oro XO at Total Wines ($37) and fell in love with it. I prefer the XO to the Gran Reserva or the Plantation XO 20th Anniversary, with just the right amount of sweetness for my current palate. The value is superb for this superior sipping rum.

I bought a bottle on a suggestion from a clerk at Total Wine. It was enjoyable but just didn't have anything that would make me want to buy another bottle. Has nice color and aroma but I guess I was expecting to be wowed and wasn't. I think there are better options in the $30+ range.

Very balanced, El Dorado like rum. Sweet and oak. Complex and great sipper.

Řekl bych, že jde o nejlepší variantu sladkého, nepřeslazeného rumu s velmi příjemnou vanilkou (a to ji nemám většinou rád) s karamelovo a ovocným koncem. Hodně podobný jako Plantation Grand Anejo Guatemala & Belize. Rozhodně 8b.

Toller Rum, Schöne Farbe, Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, Kräftiger Geschmack. Nicht zu süß, nicht zu herb. In der Nase viele Aromen.
Leider etwas schwierig zu bekommen.

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.
