Les Bienheureux El Pasador Gran Reserva
Poured neat after dinner, this Guatemalan sipper leans soft and sweet: heavy vanilla, caramel, brown sugar and raisin, with a little pepper and cocoa on a medium finish. Several tasters call it round and easy, one member sums it up as a honey candy with a vanilla center. Fans of Spanish-style sweetness enjoy it; those wanting bold, dry rum find it too gentle.
The community says- Rich vanilla
- Smooth, round
- But: Tastes sweetened

A honeyed candy with a vanilla heart. The alcohol is well integrated. The spice and nutty notes take a pleasant course.

Strangely enough, it does not carry much through in the taste, which is really nice and buttery smooth. Fantastic balance between sweet and dry - Hint of vanilla and spice, where the spice carries through, but the vanilla leaves quickly, but here we have a nice long and pleasant aftertaste 🥃👍

Store visit Weinquelle Lühmann Hamburg April 2025. The next El Pasador. It's also rather sweet on the nose, with vanilla and caramel. Also vanilla and caramel on the palate, as well as brown sugar.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
At the price tag this is a pretty decent rum. The nose has overripe fruits and vanilla in the front and in the back i get nuts, caramel and some coconut. The palate is light and sweet with raisin and vanilla in the front and in the back i get nuts, toffee, molasses and some wood notes. The finish is medium long and sweet with vanilla and cocoa and a hint of cocoa/chocolate.
Review by AustrianOak
Very tasty. Blended in Cognac casks. Woody character.
Review by MarMOTTE
Un rhum tout doux tout moelleux, qui vous enveloppe de douceur... le premier nez, à ma grande surprise, est plutôt vert, puis après quelques minutes, l'odeur délicieuse de fruit confit prend le dessus. Au goût, il tient ses promesses, rond et régulier. Une petite note poivrée relève le tout afin de réveiller un peu les papilles. La finale, toute en délicatesse, donne juste envie d'y revenir !!
Review by Godspeed
I find that people overthink this one. It's too soft and not very interesting. A rather typical Spanish style and a bit boring. I don't like it.
Review by Titi Sauquet
Un goût caramélisé très agréable.
Review by Jean Louisss
A sweet rum pleasant to drink
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Nose: Sweet caramel, brown sugar and sugar cane as a tracer, a little later we find some woody. The nose is clearly not promising as it is too linear. Taste : Quite classical in the approach, sweetness, raisin, vanilla crème brûlée, it is syrupy. We find a little alcohol despite all the sugar. Finish : It heats up a bit in the end on brown sugar despite the only 40%, it's not bad for this category with a finish on chocolate and woody.
Review by Harald
Quite sweet and slightly spicy.aromas of caramel, toffee, pepper and cinnamon.
Review by deanopeez
Heavy, heavy vanilla notes give this rum a richness that I really enjoy. Definitely a sipper, I don't see myself using this in any cocktails at all. Not complex, but what it does it does well which is sweet and easy drinking.
Review by maxlasvegas
I like this just a bit more than it younger xo sibling. Both are wonderful rums.
Review by Filip Heimerle
Znovu prechutnan. Je trosku naredeny. Vanilka vypada doslazovany
Review by Pavel Spacek
According to the taste it should be semi-sweetened and semi-infused. But the taste stays in mouth for long time and the taste of alcohol connected cogens is there. So - drinkable without hangover! ....
