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

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.

Avg Rating 7.5/10 over 230 Rums

Guatemala makes soft, sweet, dessert-like rum, and it does it high in the volcanic highlands where the thin, cool air slows maturation. Its base is virgin sugar cane honey, a concentrated first-press cane syrup rather than molasses, and its calling card is the Sistema Solera. One name towers over the country: Ron Zacapa.
