Les Bienheureux El Pasador XO

This Guatemalan rum leans sweet and soft, with lots of vanilla-caramel appeal and light woodiness. A welcoming option if you enjoy mellow, round dessert rums.

    How does this rum taste?

    • easy to savor and be reflective over
    • caramel and tiramisu, delicious dessert notes
    • Round, regular and persistent

    El Pasador XO from Guatemala shows off caramel, vanilla, and wood as its key flavours—'Relatively beautiful nose of vanilla and caramel' (Timo Groeger)—with plenty of gentle sweetness running through. Many mention a round, accessible profile, but as Godspeed puts it, 'delicious dessert notes...there is a decadence to its sips.' Some detect subtler layers like dried fruit or tobacco, while others find it a bit light or 'manque peut-être d’un peu de complexité' (hugo148). In short, it's an easy-drinker that leans into dessert and woody notes over complexity.

    "Overall an OK Latino rum with a little too weak taste. It’s fruity, spicy and sweet without being extremely sweet. Recognizable aromas and flavors is raisins, coconut, vanilla, pepper, chocolate and caramel."

    "Flavors of orange, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, tobacco and chocolate - not very sweet rum with a rich aroma and delicate taste, but with a very short aftertaste."

    "Shopbesuch Weinquelle Lühmann Hamburg April 2025. Hier gehe ich mal mit mit den Bewertungen :) Relativ schöne Nase bestehend aus Vanille und Karamell. Am Gaumen haben wir auch Vanille und Karmell, sowie etwas Holz. Anständiger Rum."
