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.

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.

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

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.
