El Pasador de Oro Strana 1 z 1

The brand El Pasador de Oro was born from the collaboration between two worlds: the tropical richness of Guatemala and the craftsmanship of France.

Behind its creation is the French company Les Bienheureux, founded in 2013 by Jean Moueix (from the famous winery Château Pétrus) and Alexandre Sirech, a former manager of the Pernod Ricard group. The common goal of both founders was to create exceptional spirits with an emphasis on authentic origin and a refined flavor profile.

El Pasador de Oro is not a typical “Caribbean rum” – it is a brand that combines Guatemalan rum-making heritage with French attention to detail and aging. All rums from this brand are distilled in Guatemala from molasses or sugarcane and then aged for several years in a tropical climate, often using the Solera system.

Only then do they travel to France, specifically to the Charente region, known for its cognac production. Here, they undergo final aging in ex-cognac barrels, which gives the rums depth, elegance, and smoothness that set them apart from others.

The name “El Pasador de Oro” translates to “the golden guide” – symbolically referring to the careful selection process of rum components and their subsequent “journey” from Guatemala to France, where they take their final form. Each rum from this brand represents a harmony between origin and refined finish, making them favorites among connoisseurs and new explorers of the rum world.

Today, El Pasador de Oro is available in several premium variants – from the smooth XO, through the complex Gran Reserva, to the intense El Pasador de Oro 50 – and is considered one of the most sophisticated European rum projects with international success.
